REBECCA MORSE: “I was 25 when I fell pregnant. I had just started a new job with the ABC in Brisbane and was ambitious. Parenthood was not on the horizon for my twenties. In hindsight I should have been as focussed on taking the pill at the same time every day as I was on my career progression, but then we wouldn’t have our Grace!”

ELF ON THE SHELF: The Triumph and the Torture. “I must have missed the part in the book where it says every place the elf moves to must be meticulously chronicled on social media.
