I don’t know anybody (boys included) who hasn’t watched the classic Disney animated film Cinderella at least twice. The expectations for a live-action feature movie were very high and have not been disappointed. The new Disney live-action Cinderella is the truest adaptation to film and more traditional retelling of the classic cartoon fairytale. Here is why London Mums’ believe…

If you feel adventurous during a half term / school holiday you can take the kids on a roadtrip to France. Without much planning we decided to go skiing and sledding for a couple of days on the Mont Blanc on the French side with a few stops along the way. It’s 1000 km one way and you can get there in 15 hours with no stops.
However with young children (Diego is 8) this is unthinkable and a…
During a Lego event held at the British Institute of British Architects (RIBA) over half term, while my son and other children from the London Mums’ Kids Club were busy creating Lego Friends inspired houses, I visited the FREE Mackintosh exhibition.
Scottish architect and designer Charles Rennie Mackintosh (1868-1928) is famous for being a modernist, symbolist and an exponent of Art Nouveau.
Brace yourselves London Mums! Reese Witherspoon and Sofia Vergara are soon going to delight us in a movie filled with Girl power. I personally love Reese’s recent choices in films she is choosing to be part of (like Wild).

Here are the Top Toy trends for 2015 which I have identified by browsing around 300+…

Every year on the first week of March parents are faced with a challenge: preparing new costumes for the annual World Book Day. You cannot get away with recycling last year’s outfits because kids remember and they are also awarded prizes for the best costumes at school. Last year I came up with a quirky costume idea and thought I share it with London Mums along with other creative costumes I…
