E hara taku toa i te toa takitahi ēngari he toa takitini!

This week my passion for cooking was re-ignited. My children and I spent the week in Rotorua catering for a film production. It was an amazing experience.
I was blown away with the efforts of my team.
Tipene was my little runner, some times he run fast but most times he ran slow.......he taught me patience, in the whare we say popotahi
Apirana impressed me with his eagerness he was always up at the break of dawn doing his duties........he reminded me of a kōrero that we always say, mahia te mahi!
Tiari was a great little worker however she had moments where she just shut down...... she taught me its ok to have a break. In our whare we say tu whakatā.
Shentay was also a great worker she was always on the go and would do anything you asked of her she was a real busy bee she reminded me of the saying he rau ringa e oti ai, she was a great worker!

The true essence of mā pango mā whero was shown to me this week and it was my pleasure to show the balance of raka te maui raka te katau.  when there is work they will also be play. We had so many adventures this week it was a great time spent with my lovelies.
