A little perspective for those not familiar with how scary the #nelson flooding is. This is the Maitai River. Check out the distance from the normal river level up to the Riverside Pool building to the right.

Some (horrific) context regarding the #AustraliaBushfires ...

Has anyone noticed the witness quotes from #chch? Two I have seen both initially assumed the gun shots were people being silly or a car backfiring. How many places in the world would hear those noises and assume that? None now, I guess. #ChChMosque #nz
Thinking of everyone affected in #chch tonight, but especially our brave and heroic emergency and medical service professionals dealing with the aftermath of this despiscable act of hate, many of whom would never have seen gun shot wounds before today. #ChChMosque #nz 💗

Of all the places you wouldn’t want to be when you are pregnant and have heightened sense of smell and probable tiredness - Rotorua 🤮On the bright side, if she is having any pregnancy-related bowel issues, no one will notice there. #HarryandMeghan nzh.tw/12151869

Just came to check my views on this Julz and Davo situation were backed up by anyone else and they totally are 🙌 #mafsnz

#Pregnant life: Off to friends’ for takeaways and of all the things you need to pack when you have kids I have included extra pants not for the kids, but for myself, just in case I need to “slip into something a little more comfortable.” #stretchy #28weeks

Hey, Harold the Giraffe: 🖕!!! My 5-year-old just told me to “stop being a bully” because I made her pick up the pieces of a tissue she shredded all over the floor.

Conversation starter in our house just now: “So, do you think the ewoks were a mistake or just poor execution?” #StarWars #returnofthejedi

When your five-year-old asks you how the baby in your tummy got there. And then interrogates you for more and more detail 😬😬😬 nzh.tw/12047920

Watching #DWTSNZ - loving the show but amazingly finding it’s the judges who are the hardest to watch so far.

Our house, earlier today. Our 5yo announces: “Hey, Mumma, look! I just drew a bum, a poo, a wee and a fart.” (Apparently the poo is the oval down the bottom, the sausage-shaped object has turned out to be a “telephone”).

Advertised product versus reality 😬
After days without coffee beans, I set my alarm extra early so I could get up and make myself a coffee to enjoy in peace... and had two little friends join me.
Then, as if sensing their parents were going to have some rare fun without them, the children awoke at FOUR-THIRTY AM when we are going to Auckland overnight to #WEEZER and #FooFighters

It’s my girl’s last day of daycare today and her farewell morning tea is looming. Current feels: Hoping they cut the cake I made while I am there so I can eat some.

Some questions I have about school stationery. Yes, I know the kids use them... but 90? nzh.tw/11979690

Our pregnant PM is copping some of the judgey crap that most mums face at some stage. My two cents about that. #jacinda #people are dicks Our #PrimeMinister rocks nzh.tw/11978223

My husband is eating corn on the cob beside me and I am trying not to kill him.
