It’s the annual Sweet as Hot Chocolate Challenge
https://sweetaschallenge.nz

Thanks to the wonderful Goody Goodness I have some delicious take home hot chocolate kits that you can use to continue the experience at home. All packaging is recyclable or compostable, and the cups are edible. With a dairy free option and cookies, it’s perfect for any chocolate lover. It’s also good to keep kids entertained during the school holidays, it’s a science and food.
I can’t wait to try out some of the delicious looking hot chocolates, I’d love to hear which ones you’ve all tried and loved too.

Mother’s Day can be hard and complicated. For me it’s about the love and connection I have for my Mum and for all the mother figures I’ve had in my life. That love and connection doesn’t have to be biological, I’ve felt motherly care from kind people I’ve had brief interactions with as well as people I love deeply. So I hope that you all have experienced this even once. I also think about my son and my nieces, and how I would do anything to protect them, but I also want to be there to see them grow into the amazing people I know they will be.

This Mother’s day is going to be hard for us as a family, it’s the first without my Nana, who was one of the best people I ever knew, no perfect, no one is, but compassionate and empathetic, loving and supportive, I only remember her ever seeing the best in me, even when I couldn’t.

This is part of the reason I love vintage, retro and antique, because it connects me to items that were looked after and used and cherished by people that lived and loved and may be still around or may not be, but their treasures survive and can spark memories sweet or bittersweet. When I see something that reminds me of a precious memory it has a beautiful meaning.
So that’s why I try to give presents that I hope have meaning for the people I’m giving too. This Mother’s day whatever gift I get for Mum we will hopefully be together and remember Nana.
I hope I have treasures that you and your mothers’ love and enjoy.

Trying something new, candles in vintage drink receptacles. The pink ones are pink peony flavoured, and you might be surprised to find that the ones with coffee beans on top are espresso flavoured…..smelled lol. Just in time for Morher’s day. Prices on photos.
And thought I’d mention since sustainability is part of my business philosophy then this is the reusing and repurposing part. Once the candle has finished you have a vintage nice cup and saucer or glass to use too.
