💙 Happy Father’s Day 💙

Today we’re celebrating all the dads, grandads, stepdads, father figures, and special men who have supported, guided, and cared for those around them.

Whether you’re spending the day together, sharing stories, or making new memories, we hope it’s filled with laughter, connection, and appreciation.

From all of us at Driving Miss Daisy, Happy Father’s Day.

Daffodil Day 28th of August 2026 💛 1 in 3 Kiwis will receive a cancer diagnosis in their lifetimes.

Each day 81 Kiwis hear the words, “You have cancer.” Daffodil Day is a chance to show your friends and family affected by cancer they’re not alone. Daffodil Day is about donating in order to protect future generations of New Zealanders by helping to fund world-leading cancer research and vital prevention programmes.

Make a difference this Daffodil Day 🌼

Today is World Senior Citizens Day, a day that recognises and appreciates senior citizens for all their accomplishments and contributions to the community we live in today. Senior citizens are valued members of society, who have plenty of kind wisdom and experience to share with the younger generation.

They are often overlooked and undermined because of their fragile state, but they have played a huge role in history, either in our communities, the workforce, or in our daily households. World Senior Citizens Day is a great opportunity to show them love and plenty of kindness in celebrating their golden age and their presence in our lives.

What is something you have learned from a grandparent or someone alike?

Matariki is a time to pause, reflect, remember, and reconnect with the people who matter most.

As we welcome the Māori New Year, we wish you a Matariki filled with connection, hope, and new beginnings.
