3 hours ago by melissajack_ Ad - Everyone waiting for Nixon to finish his pokemon story and pass back the Brisket Loaded Fries ‍♀️ Ahhhhhh-mazing @pigandwhistlerotorua I can look at this pic (swipe) and smell the gravy, heaven! Awesome family friendly restaurant in the heart of Rotorua. Dave had the lamb shank which was fall off the bone, I had the Falafel & Haloumi salad, Ethan had the GIANT Beef Bacon and Mushroom Burger and Nix ordered the Free Range Chicken Strips and Pigtail Fries. All meals were with quick service which is impt when you've got tired kids after a big day! . .
1 day ago by melissajack_ Ad - Seriously the best remedy after an early departure and extended drive through Auckland traffic - cutting loose and laughing your way down a hill with @zorb .rotorua. Awesome family fun, both the boys loved the experience (ages 15.5 and 7 years) and @djack and I enjoyed the peace and quiet once the boys were in their own ball and were off rolling down the hill . Can't believe this is the first time we've visited ZORB Rotorua, it was a damn good time and would def go again! Oh, and there are hot tubs at the bottom AND top
2 days ago by melissajack_ AD > Yah Nixie! An ocean explorer in the making after our amazing trip to the Poor Knights Islands over the weekend. Our Kiwi kids must be some of the luckiest little people on earth to grow up surrounded by NZ’s beautiful, clean oceans. Getting out there and discovering what makes our ocean ecosystems so precious and worth protecting is an integral part of any discussion we have with our kids around conservation. Using creative play for good, the new @LEGO CITY Ocean Exploration range is a partnership with @NatGeo , contributing funds to further ocean exploration while getting our kids
2 days ago by melissajack_ Tuesday just felt like a good day for my first half-marathon ‍♀️ Stoked on the beautiful sunshine, stoked to have my big boy riding along (he kept having to backtrack to check on me so ended up doing 27.5km) and stoked to check off the only goal I made for 2020 ✔️✔️ Not going to lie legs have never felt like this before! Sore/tired and every movement a colossal effort lol. . . . . . . #halfmarathon #21km #nz #nzrunning #firsthalfmarathon #runnersofinstagram #mumswhorun #gorun #tuesdayrun #instastravarunning
4 days ago by melissajack_ (Ad) Oh yes, bring it on for Peanut Butter Protein Blondies! Our diet this year has been based upon the F45 Nutrition Plan, whole foods, fresh ingredients and well balanced meals. Well balanced = treats guys! Just like the @huntergatherergourmet boxes say, “People need cake!” Hunter Gatherer Gourmet baking mixes contain no processed white flour, low sugar, gluten free & requiring just water, eggs and oil to whip them into something delicious! You can pick up individual boxes of baking mix in the supermarket or order economical refillable jars online. So here’s what I made today; Peanut Butter Protein Blondies
4 days ago by melissajack_ 16km today!! Pushing the boat out a little bit further each week. My 'Longest Ever' runs are getting gradually longer as I'm putting in more hours. 4 hrs running and almost 41km in the bank this week. I had a quiet goal to run my first half this year and I just might sneak it in Stoked to have some girls keen to start running at 7.30am on a stunning Sunday morning @missaimeefleur @jessicacarew Happy with that pace at km 16 too! . . . . . . #runningstories #nzrunner #16km #halftraining #newbalancenz #mumswhorun #lovetorun #garminnz
5 days ago by melissajack_ Ad: I completed the final online @skinfitpen training today & boom, ✔️✔️, my first at-home Microneedling treatment is done! Check out that post-treatment glow! The SkinFit pen, is a NZ created product, registered with Medsafe NZ and comes with everything you need to complete up to 3 Microneedling treatments at home. I've experienced this treatment multiple times in a salon so know how effective it is. I'm so happy to be able to maintain ongoing treatments at home which will keep building new collagen through the microwounds the SkinFit pen delivers to the dermal/epidermal junction. I'll pop some video up
6 days ago by melissajack_ Last Sunday: Ginger freckles and I, sitting on the bow of a big old catamaran, basking in the spring sunshine, in Northland, counting our blessings. Life isn't easy with this one, ever. It's often cry and shut/slam the door-heart-breakingly hard. But we had a really good weekend together and it bloody gave me some much needed pep in my Mum Step. One on one time gave us some space to breathe and chill for two whole days and it was magically peaceful. Def recommend.
