There are some tips and tricks i have learnt that seem to be universal when it when it comes to raising successful children in London.

Welcome to the world of the British school system, where the choice between independent and state schools can make all the difference! The UK education system is renowned for its academic rigour and exceptional teaching standards, making it one of the best in the world. However, the question of whether to choose an independent or state school remains a hotly debated topic, and for good reason: there is so much to this not-so-simple decision. When I started looking at this

One of the biggest decisions we face is whether to bring our own car seat, hire one abroad, or go without. Here’s what we learnt.

Sharing my tips on how to style a classy Peter Rabbit or Beatrix Potter gender neutral nursery in grey and white. Product links included.

My journey from 'career-driven independent woman' to 'mom on maternity leave' to 'career mom' has been complex to say the least. Being a career oriented independent woman is not simple by any means. Like many of you, building my career to be independent, self-sufficient, a definition of my being, and doing something within the remit of what I studied and love, was a ideal turned reality. I spent a decade and a half dedicating time to my career: learning different areas of

During our son's toddler years (2-4 years of age), we opted for a part-time nanny and choose to supplement with half days at the nursery. Whilst it's fabulous having an amazing nanny and the flexibility, there are also perks to nursery life, as mentioned in my blog Nursery or Nanny: A Guide to Choosing your Childcare Option . Our son is an active & sociable toddler, who likes reading, classical music, singing and exploring how things work. Nursery life provides diverse ente

We had our one year cake smash for Alexander a couple weeks ago, DIY style. Due to popular demand, I am sharing my tips on how to organise one so that you achieve semi-professional style photos, if not more! It's a significant and fun event for a one year old, and provides great photo opportunities and memories, so I certainly recommend doing one. A DIY cake smash is perfectly achievable for a fraction of the cost, but requires much planning for fabulous photos with minimal m

Hip, hip, hooray if you are travelling to the Cote D'Azur in the Summer. It's a fashionista's heaven so be prepared to dress to kill as this is probably the most fashionable place I have ever travelled to. WHAT TO WEAR FOR YOU The French Riviera style in Saint Tropez and most of the Riviera draws on bohemian and hippie influences so it's all about boho chic. In Monaco, this style still works wonderfully during the day but by night, you might want to rock some heels and j

After my return to work full-time from maternity leave, the inevitable question dawned upon us: What childcare option should we choose for our son?! A difficult question that requires a careful choice, especially if you don't have immediate family/parents to help take care of baby. At first thought, for most parents it's scary to think that you might have to leave your little precious angel with a stranger. I know for us, it was, for sure! That being said, childcare optio

Many parents presume that shopping for baby boys clothes can be boring. I can assure you, this is not the case, and especially in London, you will find the most unique styles imaginable! It took me time to find great brands, but once I did, I knew what I loved. Many fabulous brands are independent and may not be at your usual high street or department stores. It is useful to do some browsing when you are pregnant to find which stores stock the styles/brands you like, which

We have a separate travel system and baby buggy so you are probably wondering, why?! Choosing the right buggy(s) was one of the most difficult decisions we had to make when I was pregnant. A baby buggy is not cheap by any standard, if you want a good one that lasts. Many parents liken it to spending a small fraction of what you would on a car, plus you will be using these for a good few years so you need to make the right investment. It’s a minefield in terms of options avai

I'm in the 6 month post-partum period now and have found that my hair loss post-pregnancy started around the 3rd month. This was so upsetting for me, especially as I have very thick long hair, which due to it's weight has thinned over the years. My husband often used to say I was 'shedding' as much hair would fall on our bright cream carpets everyday! In a normal hair cycle, you lose hair everyday anyway. During pregnancy I was thrilled that my hair loss was reduced and st

I have to admit then when I was pregnant I received tons of warnings preparing me on how the first 6 weeks are so tough. Basically sleepless nights and days, and how the biggest thing we will struggle with will be lack of sleep. We were told to get as much as possible before baby arrives! I was anxious about this as I loved (and still love) my sleep. For me, 8 hours a day was the minimum I needed. Unfortunately, I have to admit, the advice we got was correct. But thankf

To start with, I have to say I am a novice, my baby hasn't started weaning yet at the time this article is written! But I have spoken to many medical professionals, parents who have weaned or will start weaning soon, and read many books on subject. So, what I present here is based on this information, in a collective concise fashion. WHAT IS WEANING? This is when a baby moves from drinking solely milk (formula or breast) to eating solid food. It lays the foundation for bab

Most people probably believe that a baby is not capable of understanding anything when you read to them. But, they do! Infact, infants take in the sounds of the language when you read and find sound patterns. I have been reading to my little one since he is 2 weeks old. We usually do it in a way so that I either lie flat next to him with the book above me or sit him up in front of me with the book flat down in front of us. He tends to love it when I read in an animated f

Half of first time mothers, and fathers, experience loneliness as a new parent. This was found in a study conducted in 2000 people. Many new parents are often cut off from friends and family due to their new change in status, and in first world countries, living away from your family is very common. This often happens right after birth of a child. Of course, having a child also brings a change in your financial position and change in work status. Many new mothers take tim
