Grab your diaries and start making plans Mamas – as there is lots to keep the littlies (and you!) entertained over the coming week!

Stay out of the heat and have some fun Mamas!
Free Movie Screenings at Reform, The Lakes
Pick up the kiddos from school – and head straight to Reform in The Lakes, as there is a free cinema screening every afternoon throughout Ramadan, taking place in the eatery’s air-conditioned tent (and we love a bit of free entertainment, don’t you Mamas?) They will be showing Maleficent on Sunday 4th, Storks on Monday 12th, The Secret Life of Pets on Tuesday 13th, Horton hears a Who on Wednesday 14th, and Moana on Thursday 15th. No need to book – just turn up for 3pm every afternoon!
