The comfy/cool/practical lockdown trouser
A heatwave has been sprung upon us and whilst it’s so lovely, being on lockdown means we haven’t had time to prepare (mentally, and physically!) for it. If you are anything like us you won’t have had the time to get your summer legs ready. We plan to...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
OUR EVENING SKINCARE ROUTINE
Skincare routines can be overwhelming – there’s so much being sold to us these days – so much we ‘should’ be using. Do we need to double cleanse? Do we need a serum? Do we need an eye cream? Now that we’re effectively in lock-down, we thought...read more
27 LOUNGEWEAR ITEMS THAT MIGHT COME IN QUITE USEFUL
Well, if we are going to be stuck at home for the foreseeable future we may as well be comfortable! We speak a lot about the importance of getting up, putting a bit of a face on and getting dressed properly, and whilst we are in the midst of something we hopefully...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
WINTER SUN: SKIING WITH CLUB MED VALMOREL
A while ago Club Med approached us and asked if we would like to go skiing with our families. Our initial thoughts? Our husbands (both die hard skiers) would LOVE it, the logistics with the kids would be a nightmare, oh and and Sam has never skied (Gemma last skied 20...read more
18 NICE TOPS: ALL UNDER £40
This is a funny time of year. We are so desperate for Spring to, um, Spring, and the shops have loads of lovely summer outfits creeping in, but it’s freezing, raining and generally miserable outside. So we are trying to not get too sucked into all these new...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)
