Christmas show review: The Snow Queen – An Online, Storytelling Adventure
Dec 21 2020
There are many activities to get the kids busy with over the Christmas holidays. The Snow Queen: An Online, Storytelling Adventure, adapted and directed by Natasha Rickman, presented by the Iris Theatre has plenty of interactions for the families with very young children (for ages 4+) and runs until 26 December. It is recommended for a very young audience. As a parent of a teenager I could not relate any longer. But I could see children on zoom very intrigued by the stoy and involved in the activities.
Green Living: Brits to spend £2.5 billion replacing household goods that could be saved this Christmas
Dec 18 2020
I love a new initiative run by Oust, the descaling solution, called ‘We Can Save It’ to help Brits save money this winter following the pandemic. This follows new research revealing that Brits are expected to spend £2.5 billion scrapping and replacing household goods over the festive period*, as retail sales drive Brits into consumption. 29% of Brits said products being replaced could be saved, and 43% of Brits are currently in debt. Oust has worked with experts from all over the UK to offer free advice to Brits to help them save money and on waste this season. It is a great PR and marketing campaign that should make us think about wastage and green living.

Here’s London Mums’ very own Family Travel Guide.
Nursing Bra review
Dec 17 2020
The one challenge that I remember when my son was a baby was the breastfeeding and the constant ‘boob in, boob out’ in public. I still have clearly in mind how delicate my breasts were while breastfeeding. I did it for 20 months so it was quite draining and the bra problem was initially serious. Before finding a decent bra from Mothercare (the business has gone bust since), I had to almost fully undress every time I had to feed my baby. Nursing bras were not as comfortable and practical 12 years ago as they are now.

Best gifts for new mums

When someone you love has just has had a baby, it can be really tough to know what to buy as a congratulatory gift. Most expectant parents will have done a huge amount of shopping and will appear to have everything they need already. However, that shopping will probably have mostly been focused on the baby! Getting a few gifts for new mums will show that you really care, and will be highly appreciated.
