LAST CHANCE TO GET IN THE DRAW
LAST CHANCE TO GET IN THE DRAW
Thank you so much to the community members that have supported us so far by purchasing a ticket in our fabulous Mothers Day Raffle. There is now less than two days to wait until you find out if you will be one of our lucky winners. We're all off to the local Fire Station on Thursday morning so our tamariki can enjoy the fire trucks, and one of our amazing firefighters can carry out the draw.
So if you haven't already got a ticket, this really is your last chance. To be in the draw we need any online funds to be cleared in our account by tomorrow night. But for those in Waiuku, we will be in the Town Square tomorrow between 11am and 1pm if you want to pop by and pay cash, or just come and say hi. You'll find us by the big yellow flag. Tickets are just $5 each or 3 for $10.
You'll be supporting a good cause. All funds are going towards assisting us to build a safe new fence for our Tamariki.
Poll: Are you still heading to your local for your caffeine fix, or has the $$ changed your habits? ☕
Auckland has a thriving cafe culture, but with costs climbing, that culture is under pressure. We’ve seen the headlines about recent closures across the country, and it’s a tough pill to swallow along with a $6+ coffee.
We all want our favourite spots to stay open, but we also have to balance our own budgets ⚖️
We want to know: How are you handling the "coffee math" in 2026? Are you still heading to your local for a chat and a caffeine fix, or has the cost of living changed your habits?

Whether it’s a courgette takeover or a feijoa frenzy, don’t let those garden gems go to waste!
Our suggestion to you: Did you know you can grate and freeze excess courgettes to use in chocolate cake later? It sounds a bit dodgy, but it makes the cake incredibly moist ... and hey, it counts as a serving of veg, right? 🍫
