Smooth rocks, like those found on the beach or in a river bed, work best for this project.
Take the kids out to search for ones that lay flat and are generally round or oblong in shape. If you don’t live near water, you should be able to get some from your local garden supply store.
Make the most of this weekend with this easy step by step project idea from Resene.

Police will be there for you if you call us.
If you are in immediate danger and can’t call 111, leave your house and get out of harm’s way. Get to a safe distance and then ask a neighbour over a fence, or a passer-by, to call 111 for you. Your safety comes first.
It’s everybody’s responsibility to speak out and keep each other safe right now. If you think something is not ok with a friend, neighbour, or colleague, it’s okay to call Police on their behalf. The person you’re worried about may not be able to speak up for themselves. You could be saving a life.

I hope you are all well and safe at home, working or otherwise, not going to crazy! 🤯
❤ I wanted to touch base with everyone today - I know everyone is being effected with different challenges physically and mentally.
We all have little ideas and tips that can help each other so how about you comment below with, for example:
-Something you are struggling with.
-A "shout out" to something/one that helped you.
-Something you have found helpful with agjusting and feeling good.
🤔I have seen these as helpful to some:
-Talking about things - you can get or give reassurance and relief.
-Trying to give yourself a schedule, fresh air and physical activity.
-Not being to hard on yourself is important when adjusting to challenges and change.
-Think about how those around you are feeling.
-Its important to focus on positives,(talking can help here too) if we focus on negatives then that is what we have and how we feel, its sometimes hard and could feel like clutching at straws focusing on positives in hard times but its so helpful, gets you more mentally focused and more able to get what you want/need and feel good.
-Every step counts, don't be hard on yourself, reach out, focus positive.
-Do something to relax - everyones different e.g. have a bath, read a book, be *CREATIVE*, meditate, netflix and chill or even just doing nothing can sometimes be nice.
-Activities with children and/or pets at home (where applicable)
-Doing things you enjoy or can enjoy after - for example
~anything you have wanted to do, learn etc (thats possible) give it a try, or look for something new online
~We cleared up some garden and its so nice to see it tidy out the window each day.
~I made some recipies I had never made before but had wanted to, was bit of fun/learning, came out great and family loved them too.
~General tidying "been meaning to get to" - feels so good after
~Declutter - a clear space can be more physically and mentally comfortable
~ I also have on my list to tidy my cupboard, make some creative pieces, get my work out schedule back on track (so not just sitting round working and eating :/) along with other things
-Google is also a fantastic tool when stuck for ideas, as is your social media platforms and commnuity on neighbourly, facebook, intagram, pintrist etc etc
I have included the link to where the information in the image was found. If you need it I hope there is something to help :)
I look forward to seeing all the comments and people supporting each other. We are all very lucky in many ways, stay safe, be kind ❤

Some of our neighbours have gone above and beyond with their take on the teddy bear hunt sweeping the nation.
The McKinnon and Walter families have created a giant bear in their paddock, alongside a big dog - I don't think its name is Clifford - and a few side pieces their children jump on to bring joy to passing truckies.
Do you have any teddy bear creations that we haven't seen? Post them here or send them through to maxine.jacobs@stuff.co.nz, we'd love to see them :)

Normally I would pick up litter in my walks to the park and riverside, but with Covid 19 in the community and 2 people with infections who have not been overseas, naturally I am not going to put my health a risk. Could people please be careful with what could be a serious infection source to the public? Dispose of your waste products into the rubbish bins, or carry a paper bag with you to take home to put into the landfill rubbish.We will need to also protect the Council workers who are emptying these bins.
