Party Planning: Which one do you choose?
Often, the start-up costs are relatively low and if you’re buying…
This testimonial is one of my favourite so far. So real, so emotional. I found Parry Ray online and fell in love with her amazing voice!
On October 18th 2001, my father was admitted for a routine back operation. it was scheduled for half an hour and he was to be discharged later that day. That afternoon, the surgeon made a mistake and my father bled out in recovery, suffering a stroke which…
Mums Charlotte and Fiona co-founded Woolly Mammoth in May this year. The company provides ready made art&craft packs that arrive through the letterbox twice a month (with a personalised label, we have found kids love receiving their own post) containing an imaginative make-and-do craft kit, photo suggestions, and either a story, song, quiz or game linked to that week’s theme.

Here is another amazing testimonial from one of our mumpreneurs, Karina Grassy, mum to Katie and owner of SLUMBERSAC Trading Company Limited.
In her own words Karina told us how she managed to fulfil her life dream.

At London Mums we always look for inspiring success stories of mums who managed to come up with original business ideas and manage to fulfil their dreams of working around their families. The testimonial of two yummy mummies behind Berry Temptation is one close to my heart and also to our Mayor of London (check his signed letter in this post). In Boris’ own words: “Berry Temptation…
Yesterday morning LBC Radio called me to comment on Cherie Blair’s attack to women who prefer to stay at home, but unfortunately I had a dentist appointment and could not do the interview. Here is my response.
