Poll: Are you a good skipper?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Sacha Willetts is set to make history this July as the first person to represent New Zealand at the World Jump Rope Championships in Kawasaki City, Japan.

The Thames-based athlete, 40, will compete on the global stage in what marks a major milestone for both her personal journey and the growth of jump rope as a competitive sport in Aotearoa.

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!
