London Mums’ best gift for girls this Christmas is Deluxe Barbie Summer Villa with Doll (RRP £59.99 down to £47.99). Our child reporter and reviewer Lilly built it by herself and then we played together. This Summer themed easy to assemble cardboard villa has brought some sunshine to our gloomy winter. Imagination play is what I grew up with and what children need to learn life’s skills.
With so much heartache, upheaval and stress in the world in 2020, we as a nation are finding our mental wellbeing under more strain than usual. Like most people, during lockdown this year, I drastically reduced my fitness activities. As a result, I developed lower back pain which prevented me from having a good night’s sleep and high productivity at work. To get better, I exercised more…

Shopping for school shoes with teenagers is not always so simple. Teens have their own ideas with regards to style which might clash with school guidelines and rules. Start-Rite has found a good balance in terms of shoes style to please the most difficult clients. I know it only because my 14 year old son is very fussy and he only wears Start-Rite shoes. He finds them comfortable enough to wear…
Customer reviews have revolutionised online shopping and our decision-making process, allowing us to get an idea of what we are getting ourselves into before we spend any money or make a trip to a restaurant. The key to unlocking the value of customer reviews is not to always take them at face value, but instead to use them as evidence in much the same way as you may use sources in an essay or…
