Date: Friday 15 February 2019
Time:10.30am
Where: Te Kuiti Maternity Resource Centre, 20 Carroll Street, Te Kuiti

Last year we went to Te Kuiti and the surrounding area to ask those who had recently had babies, their whānau and the community to have a say in the design of the new maternity resource centre in Te Kuiti.

We gathered your ideas, created the centre, and now we can celebrate this new service that will support women during their pregnancy, after baby is born and beyond with a range of community resources and social services.

There's nothing worse than a soggy sammy. The trick to keeping kids interested in eating their lunch (and stopping yourself getting bored making it) is mixing it up with variations on a theme that you know they already love.

So instead of a plain ham and cheese sandwich on sliced bread, try folding slices of ham and cheese into wedges of crunchy baguette or a soft bap. Save time and stress by using Mainland’s convenient sliced cheese – available in Edam, Tasty, Colby and Swiss to suit your family’s taste.

Head to mainland.co.nz for some quick and easy cheesy ideas.
