THE LAST 11 THINGS WE BOUGHT ON AMAZON
Have you ever checked through your past orders on Amazon and realised how totally random it is? Ours made us laugh the other day so we thought we’d share it with you. Every single one of these we now can’t live without! And they’re all under £25*....read more

TAP TO TIDY: GETTING ORGANISED AT HOME
Since we’re at home – a lot – we thought that we’d give you a little insight into our homes and how we’re keeping organised. Hope it gives you a little bit of inspo… THE BATHROOM Sam has been working in the beauty industry for...read more
DOWNLOADABLE KIDS TIME CAPSULE
We don’t want to hammer Covid19 into our kids too much, preferring to tell them what they need to know in order to understand why they’re not at school/ seeing friends and family or doing anything relatively ‘normal’ right now. But having said...read more
10 GAMES THAT KEEP OUR KIDS ENTERTAINED + THREE BONUS IDEAS
Ahhh, the good old days. If only we were happily on holiday now. Instead we’ve had a good clear out at home recently, and wanted to put together a list of games/toys that make the cut – the ones that capture our kids attention spans for longer than 60...read more
AN OPEN LETTER TO OUR HUSBANDS…
It’s Mothers Day next weekend (like you didn’t know) and we’ve had so many emails asking if we’re putting together a Mothers Day gift guide. Hell no! We’re not ‘gift guide’ kind of girls; we hate reading them and we hate putting them together (we both spend a loooong...read more
HOME // A TOUR OF MY UTILITY ROOM
A few months ago I did a little before and after on Instastories but I thought that I’d pop it here too so that’s it’s always here to refer back to. Mainly because I’m still getting lots of DM’s about the life-changing clothes airer! Our...read more
LIFE // HOW WE ADJUSTED TO LIFE WITH 2 KIDS
So writing this post 18 months into life with two kids seems a bit silly but recently we’ve been getting a lot of DM’s from you about when it all clicks. We don’t sugarcoat around here because that is helpful to no one and honestly, looking back at the time when Alfie...read more
LIFE // STYLISH STORAGE SOLUTIONS
If you don’t know that we’re big-time Homesense fans (Gemma in particular could be called a little obsessed) then where have you been?! We’ve both been shopping there for years, and Gemma remembers the first thing she bought there 9 years ago –...read more
THE BOYS BEDROOMS
This post is waaaay over due. But whenever we story from the boys bedrooms we get asked where certain things are – and then it’s a complete mess because we’ve been playing in there so I can’t take any good pics. So while they’re at...read more
Gemma’s birth story
Not to sound like a total misery but I hated pregnancy both times. I suffered from a variety of symptoms when I was pregnant with my daughter Belle, like sickness, dizziness, fainting, a cracked rib and nose bleeds. This time around, when I was pregnant with my son, I...read more
SAM’S BIRTH STORY
People told me that second births are fast but I never expected that my second baby, Alfie, would be born in one hour and forty minutes. They also told me that second babies are early but he proved them wrong and arrived seven days late. It wasn’t smooth sailing...read more
LIFE // SETTING INTENTIONS FOR 2019
Hello and Happy New Year – oh, and welcome to the fancy new This Is Mothership website!! Hurrah! Our (other) baby has had a makeover of its own. As well as looking fancy, it’s far easier to navigate now. When we first launched, our two main pillars were...read more
THE ESSENTIAL PACKING LIST FOR TRAVELLING WITH A BABY OR TODDLER
It’s safe to say we go away A LOT with our families. We both have done so since our eldest were babies. Belle came on her first holiday at 10 weeks old and I think it’s made it so much easier for us that we did it with her from so young, rather than...read moreSearch the blog
Welcome to This Is Mothership,
love Sam & Gem X
![Just over here being an Insta cliche again 👋🏻 1. Park in English summer ✔
2. Pretty dress ✔
3. Picnic basket ✔
But this is not just any picnic basket (and it's not an M&S picnic basket LOL)
This is the basket from when Breegs proposed to me almost 11 years ago to the day, we then got married a year later which means that it's out 10 year wedding anniversary next month 💗
We had booked months ago to spend our anniversary in Majorca (where we got married) and keep changing our minds about if we should go or not. We are staying in an apartment which feels safer than a hotel, and we have all tested positive and have antibodies for Covid 19 (not that there is confirmation yet that it means we can't catch it again but it's made us more relaxed.) I'm worried about the impact the flight/everyone in masks would have on Belle, but then if this is our new normal we'd rather gradually get used to it sooner rather than later 🤷🏻♀️What would you do if you were in our shoes? Are any of you going abroad soon? [Obviously this is all government allowing and we will only follow regulations] [#thisismothership #lockdown2020 #travellingabroad #travellingwithkids #majorca #travel]](https://www.thisismothership.com/wp-content/plugins/instagram-feed/img/placeholder.png)
