Future King Prince William claims his morning school run is actually just as chaotic and messy as ours. We’re trying to decide whether or not we believe him.

From a cryptic countdown to 13 clouds on a billboard. Taylor and Toy Story have officially collabbed. We’re breaking down all the Easter eggs and whether she might be attempting to reach EGOT status with her new song 'I Knew It, I Knew You.'

Plus, what do your kids think you do all day? We discuss the hilarious reality of trying to explain our jobs to our children. 

Also, if you think boarding school in Australia is strictly a status symbol for the ultra-wealthy, this might completely change your perspective.

And, is it okay to post pictures of your kids online? Comedian Tanya Hennessy wants to know.

Reccos:

Stacey is loving friend of the pod, Bandit Heeler’s parenting hack to get the kids out of the door.

Amelia recommends the Mimi Haircare’s Brisbane-designed hair wash system to tackle delicate, tangled kids curls without the extra conditioner fuss.

Monique is loving little lights. At 6pm, turn off all of your big lights and put the lamps on — that's it.
