🍹 Aunty Lizzie’s back in action! 🍹

After an amazing holiday filled with sunshine, chaos, and one too many colourful cocktails (for research purposes, of course 😜), I’m back, recharged and ready to look after your little cherubs again! 💛

They say you can’t pour from an empty cup… well, mine’s been topped up with tropical vibes and a splash of laughter! 🌴✨

Bring on the giggles, crafts, cuddles and adventures, Aunty Lizzie’s ready to roll! 💪

🌴 Aunty Lizzie is officially on holiday! 🌴

Time to swap routines for relaxation, packed lunches for poolside snacks, and early alarms for absolutely nothing. 😎

I’m recharging the batteries, soaking up some sunshine, and making memories with some of my favourite people! 🥰

Grateful for the little humans, big humans, big hearts, and busy hands that make my world so full… but right now, Aunty’s off-duty, soaking up sun, smiles, and family time. ❤️

After a wild few months of respite care, platters, life and a whole lotta love — it’s time to refill my cup (and maybe a few glasses too 😉).

“Life’s all about balance, one day you’re making magic for everyone else, the next you’re horizontal by the pool with zero responsibilities.”

2 years ago today I stepped away from a Job of 12 years, a job that I loved, work colleges that had become beautiful friends over the years and so many families that I had connected with but knew it was time for Change 🥰

It was scary, but I knew in my heart ❤️ my mind 🧠 & in my Puku that this was about following my dream to becoming the CEO not only of my life but of my own little business 👩‍💼

Aunty Lizzie’s Respite was born, and I couldn’t be happier, our house is always full of laughter, fun, lots of energy, activities, adventures, early mornings 😜 so much more 🤪

28 beautiful kids/young people age range from 5 years old to 30!! Have become part of our extended family and bring us so much joy!! 🤩

Couldn’t do it with the on going support of my right hand partner in crime , forever greatful for him saying yes and supporting my crazy idea that he really had no idea what he was getting himself into 😜

Massive thanks to All the Families/Caregivers that trust us with their Babies 👶🏻 ❤️💙

Current Vibe: Working on getting the life that I once promised myself 😊

Mums are ‘Home’ 🥰
Mums are love and comfort ❤️
Wherever you are☺️
And what ever you are feeling😍
Mums always find away 😘
To soothe you 🤗
Or smile with you 😁
Or to stand by you 🧍🏽‍♀️

Wish all you amazing Mums/Caregivers/Grandparents/Aunties a very Happy Mother’s Day, hope you feel spoilt in someway or another today ❤️

The future of disability in Aotearoa is happening right now.

Until 24 March 2025, the government is asking for feedback on how disability support is funded and allocated.

This isn’t just policy – it’s about real lives. It’s about making sure disabled people, whānau, and caregivers get the support they need in a world that isn’t built for them.

If you or someone you love relies on disability services, now is the time to speak up. In-person and online workshops are available, alongside a submission process designed to be accessible to different communication needs.

Don’t let these decisions be made without you.

🤩January 2025 Recap🤩

I’m sure there are many parents/caregivers/Grandparents that are super glad the kiddies are either already back at school or start Monday - Sighs of relief all round 😜

It has certainly been busy at Aunty Lizzie’s Respite, with lots of kiddies and young people coming to hang out at their Home Away from home 🏠

We have managed some community Outings, Butterfly Creek, Beach, Park and also a lot of time spent at home with different activities to fill their day 🛝

Grateful for the help of the big kids, extra pair of eyes and hands definitely help!! 🤚
