It's that time of year - Christmas is done, we've entered the new year and summer school holidays are coming to a close, meaning many parents are starting to tick off all the items on their kids' back-to-school lists.

As a parent, you can expect to clean up 5,432 spills in your child's first five years.

The first contestant joining the new series of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! has been revealed.

How many times did you make an emergency call to your parents to ask for help with looking after the kids?

It's for this reason that parents are going above and beyond to thank their parents for stepping in to save the day on many occasions. It does take a village, after all.

Are you even living in Australia if you haven't: a) had your food stolen by a bin chicken or b) had your rubbish bin rummaged by a bin chicken?

If we have learnt anything from Crocs and Teva sandals, it's that not ALL footwear is going to be attractive. No matter how popular they are.

Stop! No this is not another rant about people loving their beach cabanas and how they're slowly taking over Aussie beaches.
