If there’s one thing that brings us all together—whether for a heartfelt connection or just pure practicality—it’s dinner time.

No matter who we are, we all have to eat, and that simple act unites us.

Throughout the year, we’ve been gathering stories from parents across Australia about how they navigate the chaos, joy, and challenges of dinner time. Now, we’d love to share those stories with you.

This is Dinner Time

What do you remember about summer holidays as a kid? Whether it was pools, rivers, beaches, or running under sprinklers, staying cool was key.

For today’s guest, Tiffany, summers were spent with her younger siblings. One unforgettable day at 17 tested her swim teacher skills when both siblings struggled in the water. Staying calm under pressure, Tiffany guided them to safety with quick thinking and steady coaching.

Now a swim teacher, Tiffany uses those same skills to help parents keep their kids safe while enjoying the water.

This little love story is about family, summer memories, and learning to respect the water.

Taking a long holiday is on the minds of families across the nation. So if you're in the need of some inspiration today's guest from the archives might be able to help...

Deanna and her family after months spent in lockdown decided they wanted to go on an adventure. So they mapped out their ideal holiday, a six-month trek across New Zealand on the Te Araroa trail, totalling 3000kms. From Cape Reinga on the North Island to a place called, Bluff on the South Island. So why in the world did they decide to do it? and what did they learn along the way?

Plus this week's parenting dilemma, is Minecraft the gateway for all video games?
