In 1999, at a kitchen table in Somerset, Hippychick was born. It was Julia Minchin’s table and it was her first product – the innovative back-saving Hipseat – that got everything started. From there Hippychick has blossomed into a booming business committed to helping new parents on their journey through parenthood – offering a helping hand with practical solutions for the tricky bits, and a plethora of beautifully designed luxury toys and gifts that you’ll want to treasure forever – long after your children have flown the nest.

Hello London Mums…
Spring is in the air, the days are longer, the daffodils are opening and the lambs are leaping in the fields. What better time to talk about love and awakenings.
To brighten my lockdown days, I have been talking to five talented women who have chosen not to lose themselves into motherhood to follow their passion for rock ‘n’ roll. Being a mother should not be a label for women who choose to give life. Chatting to these star ladies has reminded me that women have to fight much harder to get the life they desire than men. Leading this fabulous group is soft rock Goddess Imelda May, whose brand-new single Just One Kiss is straight down dirty rock ’n’ roll. She’s such a gentle and sensitive soul that I felt a great connection with her like with a long-lost friend.
Welcome to the London Mums Rock ’n’ Love edition!
To bring more smiles to your face, I interviewed Britain’s favourite doctor, Dr Ranj, who recently published a manual to help teenage boys grow up happy, healthy and confident.
If the lack of sunshine makes you feel blue, it’s probably time to escape. So, this issue gives you ten good reasons to visit Tuscany.
