Mamamia work experience student Abby Croxford writes about her week.

Jamila and I. Very exciting.

Hello all.

Welcome to the Best and Worst of the Week. This post is relatively self-explanatory – the Mamamia team throw over to you guys and you can share all your Bests, Worsts and Things on Your Mind. Tell us about whatever comes to your head.

I’ll kick off the conversation with my thoughts.

Best: This week I have had a few amazing bests. For the past couple of days, I have been completing work experience with Mamamia (for the third time) and let me tell you, it’s incredible. INCREDIBLE.

Learning about the intense amount of thought, arrangement and fun which goes behind each post and entire website is fascinating. Just wow.

My other best was watching how beautiful the celebration of Nelson Mandela’s life was, in South Africa. Instead of mourning the death of such a great figure, internationally, his life was celebrated and I think that’s pretty remarkable.

A memorable photo from the celebration of Nelson Mandela’s life.

Worst: Since I’m in Sydney (I normally live in Brisbane) and am doing work experience with Mamamia – it’s hard to have a worst.

Though, it’s quite disgusting to see the comments by popstar, Justin Bieber labeling a girl a “beached whale”. Really? It becomes tiresome that someone who acts in the manner he does, still manages to sell tickets and make the news. He doesn’t deserve the adoration he gets.

On My Mind: We have just entered that worrying transition period between saying “Oh yeah! I have heaps of time to buy Christmas presents” and the daunting realisation that in fact Christmas Day is only, 13 days away. That’s under two weeks. Help me.

That’s enough from me. Now it’s your turn.

What’s your Best and Worst for this week?

PS. The team at Mamamia want to remind you about a competition we’ve got running. It’s called Back Seat Heroes and every week, we’re asking you to use social media to share details of the special moments you have with your kids in the car. Each week we’ll give one first place winner a $750 cash card and the runner up a $250 cash card. And after four weeks, an overall winner will score $2000.

To enter – check out this post and just make sure you hashtag all your entries with #backseatheroes.

And here’s are some of our entries from this week where we asked you how you get your kids ready in the morning. (And there’s still time to enter this week!)

@ashchidgey How do I get my kids in the car?! Anyway I can! Pretending to leave without them usually does the trick, but failing that it's one under each arm (or in this case one on the hip and the other on my shoulders) and off we go! @mamamiaaus #backseatheroes

@fab_c_a @mamamiaaus How do I get my kids ready & in the car in the morning?? I tell them I'll walk them to school in my pyjamas. The thought horrifies them & they are pretty quick to get ready #backseatheroes

@fnewberry Sometimes its a mission to get my 4yr old fed, dressed and off to daycare some mornings. So when I wake him up I sometimes say we are on a crime fighting mission and we need to get ready quickly cos our city needs us. Lol seems to work for my little superhero @mamamiaaus #backseatheros

@hooneybooney How do I get my kids in the car?! Anyway I can! Pretending to leave without them usually does the trick, but failing that it's one under each arm (or in this case one on the hip and the other on my shoulders) and off we go! @mamamiaaus #backseatheroes

@kookla123 @mamamiaaus #backseatheroes To get my daughter ready for school, I need to say just one word: SCISSORS!!! Does the trick every time!! :)

@krystal_0711 This is how I get my girls out of the house in the morning. A bag full of toys/books in the car always entices them. #backseatheroes if I don't have it prepared we spend another 20minutes gathering everything they MUST take with them.

@neatseeks #backseatheroes @mamamiaaus we don't struggle to wake up our two boys in the mornings to get ready, our youngest Ollie Danger (2 yrs) Dive bombs us all every morning at 6:30am without fail!! A cute alarm clock <3 he sure makes getting ready on time in the mornings easy <3

@sizzyrock I always tell my kids horror stories at night and that will make them scary in the morning and leave the home with me and its soo easy for me to get them ready within a few minutes..lol!!! :)

mworrad #backseatheroes @mamamiaaus lots of early morning cajoling to get Zac out the door 'yes you can wear your ninja turtle pjs to school today' (honestly - who's going to notice?

#backseatheroes

@JadeK80: This is how we get out the door in the mornings #backseatheroes #couldntcarryanymore

@Mamamia is this an acceptable bribe? If you hurry and get ready you can drive and drink Coke? Lol #backseatheroes
