Hello everyone!
Welcome to another installment of Mamamia’s Open Post. This space is a tradition that we bring every Wednesday. If you haven’t been here before, it’s a community space where you can share what’s happening in your life, and a place you can ask for advice if you need it.
I’ll get us started.
All I can think about at the moment is moving houses because it’s seriously taking up 99% of my head space.
I’m moving out of my apartment, and have about 2 weeks to find a new place to move into. And it’s stressful.
When you decide to move houses it seems like such a fun and exciting idea. You start searching for what will be your dream pad. Every time you find an amazing looking place, in your price range you do a little victory dance, throw your hands in the air and get on to the real estate agent, stat.
But the thing you always forget, is that a lot of other people are also looking at that same place, doing the same victory dance, and calling the same real estate agent. So it’s not always as easy as you plan, to find that dream place in your dream location.
I know it will happen. But every time I start looking at houses I get taken down a rabbit hole of excitement, and a lot of the time these places that I find get snapped up before I even get to a viewing.
However, I still have hope.
I’ll just keep on tracking down that rabbit hole of excitement, until I can wrestle everyone else off one of the places I find.
That’s enough of my rambling, over to you. What’s happening in your world?
Take a look at what the Mamamia team have been up to lately

It's been a big week for me and my little online business. We reached 100 followers on FB today. Yay. I'm so grateful to my lovely customers and supporters.
Our signature product is the Snotty Nasal Aspirator - perfect for babies and young children who can't blow their own noses. It is the best product I've ever used with my own children (it clears away snot in seconds!!!) and now that I've become a registered seller, I'm so excited that other parents are discovering how brilliant it is too!

Being a fulltime Mum and a small business owner is busy, but I love it!
Well this week has been the second in a series of tough weeks. I have depression and cannot seem to shake myself out of it. It affects everything in my life and I hate it so much yet it controls me. I have lots of awesome opportunities to grab for but this week I am flat out making more than Vegemite toast and showering, then changing back into different pyjamas. I did wax my eyebrows today (home), which may be a sign I am nearly ready to face the world. ;)
