From the non-boozy bar to a tipsy afternoon tea – let’s make some excellent plans this month!

Order Cocktails at This Non-Boozy Bar

Coco Grill & Lounge, London
Coco Grill & Lounge, London

“Whether you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or just not up for the hangover when you have young kids, Coco Grill & Lounge is an alcohol-free restaurant and lounge that is a long way from boring! Decked out in velvet and hanging flowers, with a waterside shisha terrace and a cosy indoor dining space, there is plenty to look at. And best of all, the extensive cocktail list, which is 100% alcohol-free. From giant ice and edible flowers to bubbles which disappear in a puff of smoke, they were an adventure to look at as well as to drink. Their Eastern-inspired menu came with plenty of food theatre too! Delicious crispy shrimps floated on a sea of mist, and there was also an option to add 24-carat gold to the steaks!! A great place to make memories – that you’ll actually remember.”

Join us at The Mum Club Camp

Camping With a Toddler -Camp Bestival Shropshire
Camping With a Toddler -Camp Bestival Shropshire

“We had the best time at Camp Bestival. We camped, and I was so nervous about doing it with a 2-year-old, but as soon as we arrived, I didn’t know what I was worried about. Plus, all the fresh air meant we didn’t have a single 5 am wake-up. I loved how relaxed it felt and the constant smiles – there was no rush to get anywhere and so much to see – from farmyard performances, soft play, and circus skills to the fancy dress parade. And, of course, there was incredible music and dancing. Usually, at festivals, you are hustling for room, but everyone was so respectful of prams, festival trolleys and little ones. The weekend was finished with a spectacular fireworks display! I’m so excited to be going again this year. I can’t wait to get back and create more magical memories!”

Have a Holistic Mum-to-be Massage

Pregnancy Treatment at Grey Wolfe, London
Pregnancy Treatment at Grey Wolfe, London

Looking for a treat before you give birth? Book in for The Nurturing Earth Mums to be Crystal Massage at Grey Wolfe. As soon as you step into the tranquil setting you are asked to remove your shoes to ground you. And almost instantly all pregnancy stress melts away. It calmed my whirring mind as the therapist used manifestations, crystals and sound to completely relax me and the massage was so incredible. Not like other pregnancy massages where you just feel like you’ve been stroked, they really tailored the massage to my needs & stress points so I felt cared for & special. The baby moved so much during my treatment, and it felt so magical to connect as I’m usually so busy rushing around to do anything like this. I left feeling so recharged and relaxed.”

Get a Slice of Naples

'O ver London
‘O ver London

We’d happily live on Italian food for the rest of our lives, tbh. And while we muster up our new life in Capri, we’re leaning on this incredible restaurant to serve us up the good stuff. With two London locations, one in St James and the other in Borough, both offer a delectable menu that’s hard to choose from. Why? Because everything is so damn good! Yes, the famous pizza is incredible but our favourites (among the many) are the tuna carpaccio and the parmigiana.
A great spot to book for dinner or for a fancy lunch with a pal.

In our eyes, J-Lo can do no wrong. And she’s pretty good in this film. Her stunt work is incredible (obvs), and the mum and daughter story got us a little teary – which, let’s be honest, isn’t very hard these days.

We expected this to be much more of a comedy than it was, but that doesn’t mean we didn’t enjoy it. Far from it. It’s a beautiful and gripping drama that spotlights the struggles of single mum Costello (played by Daisy May Cooper). Yes, there’s a laugh or two, but it’s the plot that will keep you hooked.
