Whether it’s a playhouse, she shed or teenager’s sleepout, a stencil-painted floor in Resene Clockwork Orange will elevate it from meh to wow.

For My Children

Marie from Flaxmere

One day, when my children are grown, I hope they still come through the front door without knocking. I hope they head to the kitchen for a snack and slump on the sofa to watch TV. I hope they come in and feel the weight of adulthood leave them, for they are home. For my children, my door will … View moreOne day, when my children are grown, I hope they still come through the front door without knocking.

Can you help us help our frontline this Easter?

ShieldsUp is a volunteer driven initiative of over 500 Kiwis, 3D printing, manufacturing and distributing face shields to our medical and emergency heroes across the country facing Covid-19 head on.

Within two weeks, we have delivered over 5,000 face shields, but we are still hearing the calls of many. As the government and DHBโ€™s publicly assure us that all necessary equipment is readily accessible, the demand for our face shields continues to grow daily, with requests for 30,000 shields.

If you would like to help us help them, sign up to volunteer at shieldsup.org.nz, or make a donation to ensure we can continue to produce and distribute our shields to protect our frontline heroes.

ShieldsUp, offering protection to Kiwiโ€™s against COVID-19.

"So what did you get her?" Sam asks.
Abe replies, smiling. "I bought her a deck of cards ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

You Are Beautiful

Marie from Flaxmere

Let go of the idea of perfection - you are not perfect, you are real. Let yourself be flawed, and allow yourself to make mistakes. Recognize that you're not always going to have it all together. Sometimes your heart is going to break, you are going to get hurt, you are going to feel pain. … View moreLet go of the idea of perfection - you are not perfect, you are real. Let yourself be flawed, and allow yourself to make mistakes. Recognize that you're not always going to have it all together. Sometimes your heart is going to break, you are going to get hurt, you are going to feel pain. Don't

apologize for being broken โ€“ every time you break you

become a little more alive. You become more open with

yourself. You become exposed to your sensibility. Every crack tells you a little more about yourself - your strength, your courage, your tenacity โ€“ what you're made of. Do not hide these pieces from the world, they are a part of who you are. You see, the most beautiful people are beautifully broken. Their hearts are heavy but they love the deepest.

They have seen the dark but they appreciate everything that shines. They're compassionate, understanding, and empathetic. Beautiful hearts just don't happen - and you my dear are going to show the world just how beautiful you are๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ’œ

Happy Easter Neighbourly People

Marie from Flaxmere

Friendship is a priceless gift
That cannot be bought or sold,
But its value is far greater
Than a mountain made of gold
For gold is cold and lifeless,
It can neither see nor hear,
And in the time of trouble
It is powerless to cheer… View more
Friendship is a priceless gift
That cannot be bought or sold,
But its value is far greater
Than a mountain made of gold
For gold is cold and lifeless,
It can neither see nor hear,
And in the time of trouble
It is powerless to cheer
It has no ears to listen,
No heart to understand,
It cannot bring you comfort
Or reach out a helping hand
So when you ask God for a Gift,
Be thankful if He sends
Nor diamonds, pearls or riches,
But the love of real and true friends!
๐Ÿฐ๐ŸฐHappy Easter to All You Lovely Neighbourly People๐Ÿฐ๐Ÿฐ
