The Hube is the kind of mum I aspire to be. The woman is one of the country's most impressive hyphenates. She's a writer-actress-designer-hopscotch enthusiast and prolific and generous purveyor of Twitter and Instagram amusement. I recognise that I lack the skillz and general grooming to actually be Amy Huberman, so I would settle for just having her as my BMF (best mum-friend). We could share LOLs about our children's antics and conspiratorial eye-rolls about the husbands and I could just be near her. Plus, I think, we would just get each other. Amy, if you're reading this, I'm that woman that you've noticed lurking on the peripheries of your life for some time now and if you would just give me a sign then I will come to your home uninvited with a basket of marshmallows and a bottle of Hendricks. We could be so good together. The 10 Instagram posts that make me wish Amy Huberman was my mum-friend 1. She's so down to earth...

5. We love a woman who's open about her struggles with chocolate

I'm scared of walking out of this room and never feeling the rest of my whole life the way I feel when I'm with you..

8. Even when juicing... she retains her sense of humour (unlike other sanctimonious "clean" eaters we could name)

9. She's pretty open about her own mum-friend crush

Myself and Amy Poehler got married in Trinity today. We are very happy. Thank you for all the well wishes.

10. She uses the selfie for amusement never vanity – incidentally this is my most treasured picture of Amy and I together (I'm there behind her in the mirror)
