THE AFAKASI SCOOP
Don't know about you but for us three working Mummas by the end of the week (sometimes not even mid-week) we just need to WINE-DOWN …. oh I mean WIND-DOWN! What better than combining both? We pour ourselves a glass of wine or three and talanoa, vent, discuss, and deliberate about current haps both personal and public.
Here is our Samoan/Euro flavoured podcast recipe ….
Ingredients: Friends, Wine, Issues, Open mind
Recipe: Mix all ingredients together with no script, no measurements, and no limits
Result: Your guess is as good as mine but we always tend to feel better at the end of it.
Understandably there is a lot of anxiety regarding many aspects of this pandemic but there are a few key things I have learnt since COVID reared its ugly head in Aotearoa that really helped me get through this current lockdown somewhat unscathed, and I would like to share three of these with you.

Lockdown Lessons
Times have changed. Technology has evolved. Cell phones are now a common accessory and the internet is easily accessible. Many children from intermediate level and higher have access to social media and group chats where messages, links, and images can be exchanged at the push of a button.
Is 13 Too Young to Talk to your Child about Sex?
By Tee
Sunday was different, it seemed more peaceful than any other day of the week. My peace however was always disturbed by a common practice of the Pacific Island church that we attended and that was the reading out at each Sunday service the monetary contribution/tithing given by each family.
