About Julie Lankow

As a mum of two boys, I have had the pleasure of being Editor for Kidspot NZ throughout their childhood. My hobbies include laughing uncontrollably at my own jokes, accidentally revealing my age during quizzes, and never taking anything too seriously. Favourite motto to live by: “It ain’t nothing but a thing”

Travelling overseas with the kids? Here’s the one app that saves your sanity when returning to NZ

Travelling with kids is an adventure with equal parts of magical wonder and mild chaos! The last thing you want is a stressful arrival home. That’s where the digital New Zealand Traveller Declaration (NZTD) comes in. It's your go-to tool for a smoother trip through the airport when returning to New Zealand.

Fruity pancake stack

This recipe combines Barker’s deliciously fruity Peach, Mango & Passionfruit Compote with creamy mascarpone, which is generously layered between Marcel’s soft and fluffy pancakes, then topped off with in-season fresh fruit.

Pancake boats

This one’s for the kids … and the young at heart!  Mini pancakes form the perfect "boat" filled with ice cream and sprinkled with fun toppings.

Fairy bread pancakes

Traditionally, fairy bread is made with, you guessed it, bread! We have taken it to a whole new level using Marcel’s Pancakes Petite Pancakes. Your kids are going to LOVE these and we think that you might just love them too.
