Love is in the air this month! And no, we’re not just talking about the heart-shaped boxes of chocolates and cheesy cards lining the aisles of stores... we’re talking about this month’s national campaign. February is all about finding ways to show your community a little extra love and care.

Whether it’s organising a street clean up, helping a neighbour tidy up their property, putting together a working bee to paint a community mural, or installing a communal free kai pantry or library - there are so many ways to make our neighbourhoods that much more enjoyable for everyone.

Hey neighbours,

All New Zealand police officers will receive new stab- and bullet-proof vests in a $20 million roll-out over the next three-and-a-half years.

The current vests - which were introduced in 2006 - are stab-proof, but special vests are worn by any officers involved in firearms call-outs.

They have passed their warranty, but remain "safe and fit for purpose", says Police Commissioner Mike Bush.

What do you think about the new armour? Are police officers safe using the current vests? Are you surprised the existing vests aren't stab- and bullet-proof?

Better still, they’re a snap to make, especially if you have ready-grated tasty and parmesan cheese from Mainland in the fridge.

For the more adventurous eaters, finish each muffin with a little wedge of Brie, Noble or Blue cheese. You might not be able to resist sneaking a couple for your own lunch!

Are you wanting to get more active?

How about joining me in a walking/running challenge? The idea is that you challenge yourself to walk(or run) 150km's for the whole month. You track your distance using any walking/running apps on your phone/fitbit or use google maps to workout how far you walk each day. Keep a record and try to reach a total of 150km's by the end of the month.

If I get enough interest, I will start a facebook group for the month of Feb (and possibly future months if I get enough interest) and create a community of fellow ladies wanting to get their bodies moving and feel happier and healthier along the way. The group will be motivation and support throughout the month and you can share your progress as we go along.

Any fitness level is acceptable! We all have to start from somewhere and it is totally at your own pace.

If this sounds like something you would like to be a part of, pop your email below and if there are a few of us interested, I will start the facebook group.
