As with many mums these days, if I’m not running after the kids or doing household chores, I’m online. Whilst social media can be a great waster of time, it’s also a great way to find out more about what’s happening around me. Cos, let’s face it, these days if it’s not on social media it didn’t happen 😛 I’ve been lucky enough to meet many members from the talented mum & dads club. Some in real life, but most in the online world. In the Business Hot-Seat series, I hope to introduce you to some of these innovative and talented people. P.S If you’d like to be featured in…

Fitness with MisFitNZ – Guest Blog
As a new mum the last thing on my mind was how to lose weight. I don’t know about you but between feeds, nappy changes, baby health issues, lack of sleep and everything else that comes with a new baby, I was happy to just get into bed at night and fall straight to sleep. Fast forward almost 5 years and my youngest baby is now 18 months! 2 pregancies, lack of exercise & unhealthy eating habits have definitely taken it’s toll. I admit, like alot of mums, I have a bit of baby weight to lose. The funny thing is though, it’s not the extra weight that bothers me. …

Texture Café Review
All parents have a favourite place to eat out with their kids. You know, the one place you don’t have to worry about your kids annoying anyone cos it’s so kid friendly and you’ve been there so many times that they know your kids by name? Sometimes though, just sometimes, you try and venture out and try a new place. Just like you did pre-kids. Sometimes it goes horribly badly and you vow never to take your kids out anywhere again. But sometimes, it goes well and you add that place to the list. For us, our Tuesday brunch out for our anniversary, was part of the latter 🙂 Texture…

Eight Restaurant @The Langham Review
Ok, if you told me I would go to a buffet restaurant with my kids in tow and ENJOY it, I would have said you’re crazier than I. But that’s what happened on Sunday, and truth be told; I actually enjoyed it. See, buffet restaurants mean I have to go get my own food; whilst watching my kids; and if I have to do that, why go out? But there we were, last Sunday; as guests of family friends; sitting & enjoying lunch at Eight, with kids that seemed to be behaving. Eight Restaurant is in the Langham Hotel in Auckland City. It features “eight” different kitchens & the best part is,…

Me & You Tauranga Cafe review
Got taken here, for a Saturday morning brunch, by my sister on our recent trip to Tauranga. Her and my brother, who live in Tauranga, go here every Saturday morning and I can see why. Service was friendly and fast (despite it being VERY popular). Decor not entirely child friendly, however, did see a high chair being carried around after the fact. Sat outside, as the indoor seating left was not great for a 4 year old or carrying a 10 month old whilst eating (high bar stools). Food was fresh and well cooked. Happy to see that there was a lot that my 4 year old could enjoy (ended…
