CHRISTMAS WITH CHILDREN IN NEED

Nicola from Stanmore Bay

As we all know, Christmas is coming and there are many families who aren't in a position at this time to give their children some gifts to open on Christmas. Although gifts are not what makes Christmas, we love bringing a smile to a Childs dial.

At Mummy's in need, along with all the few hundreds of orders we send out in November and December, we are going to be adding a present or two to all of them and we need your help!

If you would like to help please read the below:

1) Choose an age bracket between either 1-5, 5-10 and 10-13 then let me know what ages you have chosen
2) Buy/choose your gifts
3) Deliver to our factory at 6/42 Henderson Valley Road OR post to us OR if local, I can collect (Hibiscus Coast and North Shore)

If you can't help at this time, please share this post around if you can, with work colleagues, neighbours, friends, family etc It would be more appreciated than you could ever know!

Have a lovely weekend

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
