Autism Takiwatanga
Just asking if anyone in the Whakatane Edgecumbe area know if we have any maori takiwatanga whanau support groups? (maori based autism groups) were whanau can come together and mingle with other whanau and exchange idea or a space where we can bring our tamariki together that is autism safe, relaxing can experience maori culture in their own way? I'm just asking as if we don't i would like to try organise something like that.
Worst Xmas ever?
There's a a lot of planning that goes into Christmas day and sometimes things just don't go to plan. But it can be a good thing - a family mishap or hilarious memory that you can laugh about in Christmases to come.

Suellen’s sweet Christmas tradition
The festive season is always a great excuse to indulge your sweet tooth, and this time of year poses the perfect opportunity to bring a real showstopper to the Christmas table.
For Suellen’s family, that showstopper is Croquembouche, an impressive tower of cream puffs bound together with spun sugar that is popular at weddings in France and Italy.
What began as a birthday treat at a local French café has become a cherished Christmas tradition for Suellen and her 17-year-old twin granddaughters, Ellie and Sadie. Every year, the trio gather in Suellen’s apartment at William Sanders Village to cook this festive dessert - a holiday highlight they all treasure.
