Sparkle and glitter – The Cinderella Look
With the release of the Disney Cinderella movie, Cinderella will inspire this Christmas more…
World Book Day or the School assembly is at the door and you need to make a Viking costume. Sounds familiar? Mums and dads are often called upon to prepare all sorts of historical outfits for their offspring history lessons.
You don’t need to be an expert in Viking history. Maybe you are a fan of the TV series Beowulf and you love Vikings. Just take a look at some of our ideas and you will get a…
What is it about Advent Calendars that makes them so popular? Where does this tradition come from? I have asked myself these questions and went out to find out where the tradition has started and why we all love it so much. London Mums have also tried to make their own ones and kids club reporters have also provided a list of their favourite Advent Calendars for this Christmas. It’s beginning…

The last week or so has brought with it that first chill in the air, and you know that it won’t be long before the nights start to draw in. Pretty soon, you’ll have barely finished the afternoon school run and it’ll be dark outside.
While it’s a bit saddening to think that our days will be shorter for the next six months, there are some upsides to this time of year. The fun of getting…

Every age has a different perspective of life. I am a teenager, the most difficult age ever.

It is absolutely an amazing city, full of people coming from everywhere, parks, events and incredible buildings. I’ve never been in London before and I’m thankful to London Mums Editor Monica Costa and my…
