Hello! I’m Tegan, the newest member of the team at Mamamia.
It’s exciting that my first post on Mamamia happens to be Best & Worst – like you, I’ve been a fan since the beginning when it was just Mia writing, long before Mamamia had grown to the community we know and love. To say I was stoked when I started working at Mamamia a couple of months ago would be an understatement.
Mostly I do work behind the scenes here at MM (which is why this is my first post). Basically this means I get to work on really cool special projects. Which brings me to… my best and worst of the week.
BEST: The inaugural Mamamia’s Most Clickable Women Awards.
If there are two things we believe are amazing in equal measure at Mamamia they have to be women and the internet. So we rolled them up into one neat package to celebrate women that are doing amazing things on the interwebs; from entrepreneurs, to activists, to bloggers and more, these are the Australian women who are generating some serious buzz in the internet world, right now.

Over the next few weeks we will be profiling these fabulous women so you can get to know them before we hand it over to you to vote for Australia’s first Most Clickable Women. So get check out the website now. I am a little biased, but I think it’s pretty cool.
WORST: Earlier this year I became a tree changer and moved to a cute little village in the Blue Mountains. I absolutely LOVE it and will happily rabbit on to anyone who will listen about the many reasons why I adore living in the mountains. HOWEVER…. this week, I was quite literally awoken by the crisp cold and very icy reality of living in the mountains by waiting on an ice-covered station in sub zero temperatures. It’s cold, it’s dark and I have become THAT person who packs a little blanket in my bag to keep warm on the train.
Does anyone know where I can buy some good gloves? Perhaps some thermals???
My fingers are now turning blue, so over to you.

How was your week? What was your best and worst?

Lovely to put a face to the name!
I have a wonderful friend, yoga teacher, naturopath who also has recently made the tree change to Blue Mountains - she is Kurrajong area :-)
Best: Well my nomination at a "clickable" woman is amazing - but getting great feedback on my new book is so wonderful and I'm very grateful.
Worse: My parents, partcularly my mum who are suffering some of the negative affects of aging and it's a really sad time.
Best: Taking my kids to see Despicable Me 2 in 3D as we got free tickets. Also seeing my almost 12yr old boy cheer up my 8yr old girl as he hates to see her upset, he makes her laugh and its just so cute. Also reading with the kids in bed (we take turns reading a page each), its the best part of my day.
Worst: Having to have contact with the ex as we are sorting out transferring the house into my name and realising all the costs that go with that (he won't pay anything even though he took $20,000 from me and refuses to pay it back). Its so much paperwork and will be WELL worth it in the end but just cant wait for it to be over. Having contact also stresses me out and makes me realise I now have no tolerance for lying from anyone as he is a habitual liar and I got burnt big time.
