Jul 04 2018

Hello London Mums! 

Our latest issue for the Summer/Autumn 2018 is finally out! The mums I have interviewed for this issue have done extraordinary things in their lives. Their stories are inspiring and positive. I don’t often interview the same people twice, but I have made an exception for Sophie Kinsella who holds a special place in my readers’ hearts for making us laugh with her bestsellers, including the hugely popular Shopaholic series as well as a sweet and funny new children’s series called Mummy Fairy and Me.

Taking the Kids to the Theatre in London

Sep 11 2014

My love of going to the theatre began at a young age having always been taken by my parents to the big ‘must see’ West End musicals of the day.

After unsuccessfully trying for a child for many years, Artif took Rose to Egypt for fertility treatment, where it’s a third of the price of comparable treatments in London.
