Then Lisa Wilkinson mentioned my name. On the tele.
It was quite a thrill.
You can watch the whole thing, including the name drop, right here:

Kate is very good. A natural on the tele. Much like my name.
PS: I wanted to do that cool embedding thing, but it seems this is not possible if it's not a You Tube video. Or maybe it's just not possible if you are me...
FISTPUMP.
ReplyDeleteI think so little of myself that when I first saw your book I thought, well that's not for me, I don't work or have a career.
But I really DO, I'm just doing it all from fecking home, struggling with the balance and time.
I am so buying your book ... I have a feeling it will be SPECTACULAR.

PS You can totally embed. When you are composing your post, go to HTML mode and insert the embed code that you can get from YouTube. Email me for further helpdesk.
PPS Totally said fecking instead of the real f-bomb. Am so klassy on your blog.
Woohoo! How exciting! You two are doing so well with the book. I saw it mentioned in one of the mags I was reading this week. Very cool indeed.
ReplyDeleteI've had the same problem with embedding vids from the Today show. Instead, I take a snapshot/image of the video, upload it as a photo in my post and link the photo to the clip on their site. So when people click on the photo it sends them direct to the video.
Or you could just do a link! ;)
It's just so darn exciting. I can just imagine how you must be feeling. Really. Kate is so cute on the video - I love the little plug she sneaks into the end for her kids. Well I'm looking to go back to doing some kind of work, after, not 3 months, 6 months or 5 years, but 8 years!! I hope I'm not doomed, I may need to get your book when I'm back to my 'real' life. Well done :-)
ReplyDeleteOne of my friends rang me and asked if it was my pink blogging fibro lady. I said it was.
ReplyDeleteSO cool.
xx
What an exciting time.....congratulations!!
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to making it one of my 12 in 12!! x
Lisa truly said your name with much eloquence, Allison;) Woo hoo! How exciting to not only have a book but have it shown on a morning TV show. You go girl! x
ReplyDeleteI had Today on in the background yesterday morning and when Lisa said your name, I instantly thought "ooh I know that name!". Very cool! xxx
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone! I loved Kate's shout-out to the kids too. Such a mum thing to do. :-)
ReplyDeleteSo proud! You rock big sis. You never told me how *hot* Kate is! Yummy Mummy! x
ReplyDeleteHow impressive is Kate!
ReplyDeleteGreat work guys, love the book. I think many mums and soon-to-be mums will find it a valuable resource. x
Oh you star you! :)
ReplyDeleteYay!! Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteKate's 'hello to the kids' was perfect. I loved that she did that.
ReplyDeleteAnd, of course, couldn't be prouder of Allison Tait. x
Embedding is impossible if it isn't youtube? Thank goodness it isn't just me! I've been trying to add a 20 second video I took with my camera and failing miserably.
ReplyDeleteWoo Hoo!!!! very exciting!
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to reading!
I'm so delighted for you, Al. I've bought it and intend on sinking my teeth into it this weekend! J x
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! She did a great job with the interview.
ReplyDeleteOooh, go you! And I am off to buy a copy as well m'dear, cannot wait to read these pearls of wisdom!
ReplyDeleteBig congratulations!!!
ReplyDeleteI am soooo getting this book, even though I am not just going back to work (I never stopped) but I need the balance part. Booktopis is out of stock, where else can you get this?? Regular book stores??. X
