Order Cocktails at This Non-Boozy Bar 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.” TMC Havering Host, Jo Lennon Book now Join Us at a Bugaboo Brunch Bugaboo Dragonfly Event – Wimbledon & Salford Join us for an extra special brunch as Bugaboo will join us for the launch of the Bugaboo Dragonfly pushchair.

Join us at The Mum Club Camp 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!” TMC Solihull Franchisee – Charlotte Johns Find out more Have a Holistic Mum-to-be Massage 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.” TMC Walthamstow Host, Rose Abbott Book now Get a Slice of Naples ‘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. Book now Watch these… Black Mirror – June, date tbc After a four-year break, Black Mirror returns for its sixth season with a cast that includes Salma Hayek, Aaron Paul, Annie Murphy, Josh Hartnett, Kate Mara, Michael Cera and Rory Culkin, among others. Tune in if you dare! Watch here Selling Sunset Season 6 – Available now Watched it yet? We finished it in under a week and couldn’t believe how much flipping drama there was. Who needs Christine when this lot is around?! Watch it now Mother – Available now 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. Watch it here And Just Like That – 22nd June We cringed our way through the first season, and we’re ready(ish) to take on the next one. Whether you like it or not, it’s back and due on our screens at the end of this month. Watch it here Rain Dogs – Available now 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. Watch it now Get Tipsy at Afternoon Tea Tipsy Tea, K West, London London’s unique West London hotel, K West, has launced a Tipsy Tea. Where the hotel’s mixologist and head chef have come together to curate a selection of carefully concocted cocktails which represent some of the nation’s favourite bites from a traditional afternoon tea.
