That’s why we’ve teamed up with leading baby and child nutritionist and double Sunday Times bestselling author, Charlotte Stirling-Reed to launch her new book, How To Feed Your Family. With busy schedules and different tastes to navigate, it can seem much easier to fall back on the easy wins or ready meals. If you can relate to this, you are not alone and you do not want to miss this event! Book Now Walk with TMC & Superdrug Mobile Superdrug Mobile Walking Club Event – Reigate & Banstead Join us for an extra special walking club in partner with Superdrug Mobile for our ‘Just to say I LOVE YOU’ campaign. It’s firstly a walk for you! Here at TMC, we know that getting out of the house with little ones isn’t always easy, but you can’t underestimate the power of some fresh air and chats with likeminded women to make you feel fabulous. But also, how great are mums? Mum mates, the ones we call Mum and YOU. We believe at The Mum Club that we simply don’t get told enough how great we are and how LOVED we are. So, we have partnered with Superdrug Mobile to do just that. Book Here Plan Your Next Night Out The London Cabaret Club ‘Copacabana’ at The Bloomsbury Ballroom “If you’re looking for a night out that sparks absolute joy, the Copacabana Cabaret is worth checking out. From the moment I stepped inside, the energy was contagious, and the performances were out of this world, with sensational singing and dancing. I loved jumping up and dancing with the performers, and it felt so good to let go and forget everything for the evening. We were served delicious food and drink. And yes, it’s expensive, but this is a mesmerising show not to be missed.” Style & Content Creator, Luzaan Shaw Book now Take Your Kids on a Retreat Theta Retreats Theta Retreats are restorative experiences made for mums and their children.

Shop John Lewis Why You Should Come to Camp Bestival Camp Bestival Shropshire “Our Camp Bestival experience in 2022 was epic. There was SO much to do! We loved participating in the science experiments, crafts and the family rave tents. And contrary to myth, we showered, used flushable toilets, and ate gourmet food. As a family of 3, we chose a 4-birth tent with blackout windows. Festival mornings are early enough, but quality earplugs and blocking out the sun made it easier. And this year, we’ll plan and book ahead as we missed out on a few things. We want to paddle board, practice yoga and open water swim. Dancing together in the sun was just the best feeling, and when our little girl went to bed, we enjoyed chilled-out drinks outside our tent whilst listening to the music from the main stage. We can’t wait to return!” TMC Knutsford Host Alex Molloy Find out more Take the Kids to a Cheese Fest Cheese & Chilli Festival “Don’t be put off by the name if cheese and chilli aren’t your favourite. Of course, it helps as there’s a lot of it to try and buy! But this festival offers so much more, with various exciting activities for kids and adults, from face painting and balloon twisting to interactive games and bouncy castles. And the food isn’t just spice and blocks of dairy. There’s a wide variety on offer, which pairs nicely with brilliant live music and alfresco drinking.” Style & Content Creator Luzaan Shaw Find out more Fill Your Basket at This New Farm Shop The Cotswold Guy We bloody love a farm shop. We’re not sure if that’s a sign of old age or if we just appreciate the finer things in life. *We’ll go with the latter. And this new opening created by The Cotswold Guy is about to exceed all great expectations. From the creators of David Beckham’s preferred sausage roll, comes a store that delights all senses. As you step inside, you’re greeted by the best produce you can find, delicious coffee, local wine and more. There’s also a café, which makes it perfect for family trips. And if you’re unable to get to the Cotswolds, you can purchase some of the items on their online store. Find out more Give Yourself a Good Scrub Cowshed Salt Scrub & Massage (90 min) “I live in Jersey, and when I pop back to London now and again, I like to treat myself to some of the best things it has to offer. And in my opinion, Cowshed is one of them. This time, I booked in for a 90-min scrub, which completely blew my mind. I left feeling relaxed but revived. A brilliant combination of massage and exfoliation gives your skin the best glow, and the products smell so good. It’s expensive, but I really felt like it was worth the money.” TMC Co Founder Lauren Webber Book now Read this… Enough About the Baby This is an honest account of the first year of motherhood that speaks to you like a best friend. There’s a lot to digest, and possibly one you dip in and out of, depending on which section relates to you. We found the pull-out tips helpful, and if you’re lacking in time, you can read some of these instead of the whole section. While it’s important to be honest, we found certain parts a little downbeat and not all the experiences applied to us, but we appreciated the honesty and skipped past them. Motherhood is undoubtedly challenging, but it can be a positive journey too! So, if you are in the thick of it and you’re finding things difficult, join your nearest The Mum Club event. At every event you’ll find a network of women in the same boat as you, all waiting and willing to share similar stories and shoulders of support.
