It's nearing the end of term four, which means many parents are running around looking frazzled at the shops because they're wondering what the hell to buy their child's teacher for Christmas. 

Nothing divides people quite like wedding etiquette. We know it's a faux pas to wear white if you're not the bride and some frown upon the idea of having bank details listed on invitations for cash transfers instead of gifts. Yes, it's a thing. 

I went to get a tub of Ben & Jerry's last weekend and at $15 for a relatively small tub from Coles, I very quickly realised that the only place the delicious cookies and cream treat needed to be was back on the freezer shelf I pulled it out from.    

Summer is around the corner, which means clothing for the warmer weather is starting to creep into stores faster than you can complain about Christmas decorations in retailers as early as September.  

Thanks to the internet, we know a few things about what not to do on a flight shared with other people. 

Remember when the Willy Wonka experience in Glasgow went viral for all the wrong reasons earlier this year? 

It all started with an email sent at 8pm on a Thursday night. A message from Typo announcing this year's range of Christmas products. 

36,000.  That's the amount of calls taken by QPIC (Queensland Poison Information Centre) last year with the theme of a little one ingesting something they shouldn't have. 

I'm calling it. The Reject Shop is having a real moment right now and I wouldn't be surprised if shoppers soon claim this bargain retailer as their favourite -ahead of the likes of Kmart and Big W. 

It was the holiday I didn’t really want to go on. I’ve heard about cruises and how they’re not so great for those people who hate feeling trapped or scared of catching people’s germies.

Confession time ... I stopped ironing when my second son was born. It is such a time waster. 

Why is it that people enjoy debating over where they store certain food items in their homes? If it's not the tomato sauce, it's the Vegemite, and if it's not the vegemite, it's the jam. And if it's not the jam, it's the chocolate...

The cost of living crisis has forced many families to choose the cheaper option when it comes to a much-needed family getaway. 

I mentioned Franklins the other day when discussing cheap groceries and was met with a whole lot of blank stares from my colleagues. 

It was meant to be a sweet photo of her two infant children before a quick ride in mummy's car, but a clip shared by new mum Paris Hilton has come under fire from other parents online. 

Note to any celebrity working alongside him - don't ever make an X-rated joke in front of Robert Irwin. Things will get real awkward REAL quick.

Children come home with all sorts of stories after a day at preschool or daycare. But one mum was recently left confused and a little annoyed after her four-year-old shared something rather unusual with her about their day.

If you spook easily, may I suggest you don't look at the picture we're about to dissect too closely.

He sings, he dances, he does some pretty impressive jazz hands. Crikey! It's Robert Irwin as we've never seen him before. And who knew it would make so many reality TV fans so angry?

Good morning passengers, this is a message for all fur babies... your plane is now ready for boarding.
