Truth behind Meghan Markle’s viral pregnancy dancing video

3 weeks ago | news.com.au | Jordana Shell

COMMENTCan we all just leave Meghan alone? Yes, that ’00s reference holds today because Meghan Markle (apologies, Sussex) can’t catch a break no matter what she posts or who she hosts. While I was sceptical of the rainbow sprinkles as well, and I wasn’t overwhelmed by her show, the backlash over her video has me firmly on Team Meghan. At the start of 2025, Meghan made her return to Instagram after a decade-long hiatus, following Royal Family protocol.

We're not to admit this as adults, but my mum is my best friend. We've always had a strong bond, but the truth is, as I've grown older, our relationship has evolved into something truly unique and special. All the elements of a friendship are there - trust, respect, and genuine enjoyment of each other. How lucky are we? So why is it considered 'uncool' to have a family member as a best friend?

I want to be a Disney princess mum - but I always sound like a villain

Oct 31, 2024 | cairnspost.com.au | Jordana Shell

ParentingDon't miss out on the headlines from Parenting. Followed categories will be added to My News. I was in the library with my youngest the other day when I heard what sounded like a Disney Princess had come to life. The kind of voice that would rouse a forest of animals to clean the house or make a dress out of rags. Want to join the family? Sign up to our Kidspot newsletter for more stories like this.
Yes. I’m laughing at your kid having a public tantrum

Oct 27, 2024 | cairnspost.com.au | Jordana Shell

I'll be the first to admit that after over nine years of parenting three children, I am nowhere near understanding tantrums. I am also no closer to unlocking the key to staying calm and collected during them, or even preventing their escalation. But one thing I do enjoy about tantrums is when other children have tantrums, especially in public.
‘Like an Uber’: Mum charges kids for driving them places

Oct 22, 2024 | townsvillebulletin.com.au | Jordana Shell

Parents with older kids warned me: “Just wait – soon you will be an Uber driver for your kids.” They were right. And it’s driving me (pardon the pun), crazy. While yes, as a driver, I am a five-star, my kids are not! They aren’t concerned about their passenger rating. If I were to rate them as passengers, they would be one star and I think that’s being generous because my calculations include their behaviour at home as well as in the car. Allow me to share just a glimpse of my past weekend.
