Motherland is one today: HONK HONK!

It’s been an enlivening 12 months – full of new friends, life lessons, and a healthy dose of gin-in-hand weeping. From the philosophical musings of Clare Dwyer Hogg to launching our podcast, and our forthcoming film series – with plenty of real talk, fashion, photography, travel, interviews, not to mention thought-provoking personal stories – it’s been emotional.

As editor of the site I’m extremely grateful to all of those who have supported us so brilliantly from our conception. But most of all, I’m ridiculously excited to announce that things are about to get a whole lot shinier as we prepare to relaunch with some extremely exciting additions for the next chapter (just as soon as I’ve settled a new actual bouncing baby at Motherland HQ, which is currently attempting to make its exit, foot-first, through my rib-cage).

So, if you haven’t already, please sign up to our newsletter – by scrolling down our homepage – for updates and news of what’s occurring (it’s going to be BIG).

We always want to hear what’s working for you and what isn’t so give us a shout any time with feedback, or ideas for topics you’d like to see covered.

And don’t forget to follow us on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter for all the fun stuff.

Thanks again and CHEERS TO THE YEARS AHEAD…

Charlotte
