We have lots of new followers so it’s time for us to share our introduction again :)

👋🏽 I am Rohini, and I have been running Clapham Mums for nearly 5 years (and as an independent local business for the last 2 years). I have two little bosses who keep me on my toes!

Our goal (I say we but it’s really only me 😉) is to help busy parents use us as a one stop directory of what’s on in Clapham / Balham / Battersea and neighbouring areas and to provide local businesses with affordable advertising options to attract the hyperlocal community. We work with businesses to get exclusive deals and discounts for our readers: win for our readers with our free membership card and for businesses to get new clientele.

Here’s what is on my Dopamine Menu:

- exercise 🏃‍♀️ is a new one on the list with my hypermobility issues but I am loving reformer Pilates and my new strength training classes

- fresh flowers 🌺

- newly cleaned sheets 🛌

- reading a page turner 📚- this summer I finished Tomorrow, Tomorrow, Tomorrow by Gabrielle Zevin and Norwegian Wood by Murakami. Currently reading Dallergut Dream Department Store by Miye Lee.

- curled up listening to music 🎶 . I love everything from Beatles and Backstreet Boys to Taylor Swift. Also love Indian music.

- a long walk surrounded by trees 🌲 and flowers 🌷(or forest bathing as the cool kids say nowadays)

- candles 🕯️ and a pleasantly scented room

- dinner with friends 🍱🌮

- learning art 🖼️ and taking art classes! I am colour blind so my pictures are always different to the rest of the class (just learnt Van Gogh was too!)

- reality tv 📺 : watching Real Housewives, Love is Blind, Bake Off!

This is our passion and labour of love and Instagram isn’t always kind to us, so please engage with us - share, save, comment and recommend us if you like what you see! ❤️

AD/ Invite

Following a successful UK debut last year, the Water Lantern Festival is in London this weekend. Set in our very own Clapham Common, it is a celebration of community, reflection and shared experience.

This is a relaxed open air event for people of all ages. Relax by the water, get creative with your lantern and connect with yourself as you write your hopes, aspirations or words of gratitude. Your tickets include a lantern kit with everything you need to make and decorate your lantern. We really enjoyed the atmosphere, the settings were calm and peaceful, and it wasn’t too busy.

Tickets can be purchased on Fever app and begin at £31.90 for general admission (couples package and 4 packs available). taken in London, United Kingdom by @claphammums
