(Open) post of the week. Talk amongst yourselves.

Welcome to the open post of the week where you can see what we’ve been up to behind-the-scenes at Mamamia and you can then talk about ANYTHING that’s on your mind.

The Stretch

I’m really struggling to exercise in the morning. For years and YEARS I have exercised in the morning but the combination of freezing weather and kids needing to get to school and be fed, watered etc early has made it hard. So now I do yoga in the office! That’s a lie. Actually I was just feeling a bit sluggish and stiff and needed a stretch so I did a very poor impression of a downward dog during a meeting. Are you struggling with exercise or is it just me?

The fashion

Nicky, MM’s writer, has been working fashion this week. She’s past the halfway mark of her pregnancy and she’s mixing it up with fancy dangly earrings and brightly coloured opaque tights (the balloons were for Lana’s birthday – we don’t routinely have them lying around). Go you good thing.

The book

Zoe Foster’s book, Amazing Face, arrived in the office this week. I’d already borrowed her copy to read over the long weekend so I lent my copy to Lana. LENT, Lana, LENT.

Zoe is coming in today to be interviewed for some beauty videos and I had dinner with her a few days ago so it’s been a very Zoe week in my world. No complaints there.

The Rick

We had an away-afternoon meeting at my place this week and in the middle of it, Remy had to use the potty which is located in the middle of our loungeroom because we are classy like that. It was only a wee and Lana and I (mothers) didn’t bat an eye. Hell, I’m used to wiping bottoms while talking on the phone or writing my column. No biggie.

Nat has worked as a nanny so she was similarly unfazed. But Nicky looked a bit startled and Rick went bright red and had to hide behind a pillow. Sweet.

The girls night out

Big fun with my two fave Gen Ys: Zoe Foster and Bronwyn McCahon. We rugged up and went to a cosy Italian restaurant to drink wine and eat pasta and calamari. I know this shot is awful quality but we made a group decision not to use flash for vanity’s sake.

The Blog

It was only a matter of time. A blog dedicated to what Kate Middleton wears (can we call her Princess Kate? I’m just not feeling “Duchess”) kept me occupied for many minutes this week. It’s updated almost every day and shows you where you can get what she’s wearing or something very similar.

The video

Louise Bell from Table Tonic posted this and said she gets goosebumps every time she watches it. I have to agree. Instant mood changer.

Anything on your mind?
