📖 The latest issue of The Australian Women's Weekly is on shelves now, and there's a lot in it.

Miranda Tapsell is on the cover talking about family life, she says having three generations under one roof is one of the best parts of her life right now. Good, honest read.

This issue also carries a warm tribute to Sam Neill, celebrating the life and career of an actor so many of us grew up watching. Alongside that there's a 20 page health special with expert tips and checklists, plus the return of Ask the Doctor. And Kathy Lette joins The Weekly as a new contributor.

📖 This week's that's life! is full of the good stuff, warm, real, and a little bit delicious.

There's a gorgeous chicken recipe feature inside with winning ideas for weeknight dinners (that loaded chicken and chips bake looks like it should come with a warning label). Plus real reader stories that'll have you feeling all sorts of things, like the guy who copped a nasty scratch in the pool that turned into way more than he bargained for, and the woman who found love while giving blood.

And honestly, the photo of a nan and her granddaughter making waves together might be the best thing on the cover this week.

💌 There's something about a real, physical thank you that a text just can't match.

Whether it's for a teacher who went above and beyond, a mate who helped you move house, or someone who showed up for you when it counted, a proper card says you took the time. It sits on their kitchen bench or fridge for weeks. A text disappears in the scroll.

We've got a huge range of thank you cards in store, from cheeky and light hearted to heartfelt and beautifully designed. Whatever you're saying thanks for, there's one that'll say it right.
