What’s your Mother’s Day tradition?
Perhaps it’s surprising your Mum with a lovely bunch of flowers or baking your favourite childhood treats together. Why not start a new tradition this year and register for the Jennian Homes Mother’s Day Fun Run/Walk, proudly supporting the Heart Foundation NZ. Each entrant will receive a Dick Frizzell designed event t-shirt.
So, get your running shoes ready to walk alongside thousands of other women to promote good heart health. You could even rub shoulders with an Olympian. Sign up to a 5km Fun Run/Walk near you to show your support. Tickets on sale at www.jennianmothersday.com
What's your favourite recipe for courgettes?

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
