Episode 4: Taxes, Temples, & Kirby Grips

In this episode of Moms to Mums, we follow a pair of Ray-Bans down a rabbit hole and wind up deep in the world of UK taxes, city planning, and ancient ruins. We break down the differences between VAT and U.S. sales tax, and the relative simplicity of the UK’s tax system. And we take a neighborhood tour through the City of London and the Barbican, exploring everything from brutalist architecture to buried Roman temples—because in the UK, history is always just beneath the surface. And don’t miss this week’s Vocab Roulette, where we untangle the mystery of braces, suspenders, and Kirby grips.

Episode 3: Hogwarts & Life at Home

This week on Moms to Mums, we tap into the magic… literally! We explore how the Wizarding World of Harry Potter  reflects everyday life in the UK, from the school system to train travel to tightly packed neighborhoods. We also share our favorite tips for visiting the Warner Bros. Studio Tour and other real-life filming locations. Then it’s back to the real world as we unpack the realities of British home life: small fridges, energy-smart habits, and the elusive hot shower. And in this episode's Visa Pro Tips segment, Amelia breaks down the difference between being an expat and an immigrant – and what that means for your UK visa options. ------- Have more questions?
