As a massage therapist I love ‘Story Massage‘ and as a language teacher I love ‘Story massage’. I understand and love the theory of it.
But although I know the theory I have still been so surprised to see how my children have taken to the whole idea!
When they are getting on each others’ nerves I can now sometimes say ‘why don’t you give each other a…

It’s me Chiara again! I am the child reporter for London Mums magazine. Here’s my new review about Paddington the movie, out on 28 November 2014, directed by Paul King and from the producer of Harry Potter (which I also loved!).
I love to be a child reporter as I get to see a lot of movies for free! I hope you mums and kids enjoy reading what I have hand-written for you. I prefer…

A few years ago I did not know what the big deal was with the Advent Calendar until – guess what?! – my son started asking me for one because his friends came to school with little things every day. So I had to quickly catch up and did my own research. I clearly cracked it to the point where last Christmas I created my very own Advent Calendar and I am planning on being even more…
There’s a new kind of Spa in town, the first ever Parent-Child relationship Spa from the Enchanted House team at The London Art House Islington. Like all spas, it’s a wonderful pampering environment but uniquely designed to enhance parent- child bonding and brain development. Babies and children up to nine years of age are welcome.
No actual Jacuzzis or saunas, but sensory rooms for parent-…
Have your children spent any time exploring the local wildlife recently? This month saw the 2014 British Wildlife Photography Awards being announced and the images will really inspire your family to get outdoors and capture some snaps of local wildlife.
Using photography to explore nature is the perfect blend of encouraging creativity in your child whilst teaching them about wildlife – not to…
I love music and musicals! I try to instil my love for music to my son and I think I am achieving the goal of making him appreciate classical music as well as Pop stars such as the Beatles rather than current hip hop tunes. Most kids probably think their mum’s taste in music is light years apart from theirs, but they might actually be surprised.
I don’t need an excuse to celebrate good…
Life as a mum is certainly rewarding most of the times, but, as we all too well know, comes along with huge challenges.
We need to give our children a great upbringing while maintaining our own lives and relationships, a conservatory can be a great way for mums to do just that.
For both children and adults alike, a conservatory can be a transition area between the inside and out, it can serve as…
Sometimes, even when the sun is shining, it’s nice to have a craft project on the go. Somehow sitting quietly and dabbing a bit of paint here and making a few twists with some thread there calms the soul and recharges the batteries of over-excited children – and parents – sufficiently for another round of tree climbing or bike riding. Go Create have come up with a wonderful…
