2 hours ago by melissajack_ Ad: First, an apology for the shocking night-time foodie snaps. So hard to do the unforgettable dishes at @atticusfinchrotorua justice so you're just going to have to trust me! This is a spot you just can't miss when visiting Rotorua. Epic sharing plates, pictured are the Chargrilled Sirloin and Fennel Salt Crusted Pork Belly followed by the Warm Chocolate & Peanut Butter Fudge Cookie, Salted Caramel, Vanilla Bean Ice Cream, Popcorn & Pretzel Praline. BOOM A smidge of the amazingness we enjoyed, every bite divine. Also, because I know you know, BIG fan of the Atticus Finch Orange Espresso Martini

Dave had to work throughout the morning so the boys and I headed into the still, serene native forest to get our adventure on. It was drizzly and grey and this was no biggie at all. If you forget your umbrella there are plenty you can borrow from the reception/cafe. The trails are mint so it wasn't muddy or slippery either. The 4km walk is an easy one, Nixon, 7yrs, didn't struggle at all and the sights along the
1 day ago by melissajack_ Ad: Our 3hr adventure into virgin native forest with @rotoruacanopytours was hands down, one of the best NZ tourism experiences we've ever had. Epic, super fast zip lines from 50-400m (Nix, 7, handled them like a boss!), crazy suspension bridges, fun, friendly, knowledgeable and extremely capable guides that made us feel safe and confident at all times, and of course, immersion in our stunning NZ native forest. What a bloody treat! Huge smiles all round. Make sure you swipe across to the video, Dave vs Ethan on a big, fast run. Look at the forest below . . . .
1 day 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! . .
2 days 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
3 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
3 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
5 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

Athletics Finals Nights

Ethan has been racing up a storm at Athletics this year and I think it is fair to say from the pictures that he enjoys it a wee bit????
