I often find mums are so busy they can’t remember what they did one day to the next let alone last summer. This is where a memory box works really well. Memories are really important to us and especially our children as they affect their personalities, future, help discover passions and even careers! With our busy pace of life it is really important for us to help our children remember and…
School has ended, and while your little’uns couldn’t be happier about this, you’re wondering how you’re going to entertain them for the next few weeks. Thankfully, there are a lot of ways to entertain kids in London and tire them out over the summer holidays so there won’t be any tears or tantrums!

I love musicals and I love the West End. I feel lucky to be able to see the best musicals in the world. Recently I went to see THE BODYGUARD, based on the smash-hit film which starred Kevin Costner and Whitney Houston, which is currently wowing audiences at the Adelphi Theatre in London’s West End.
