💜 Calling on our amazing friends, family Clients & community! 💜

As many of you know, Big K and I are proudly hosting a Charity Quiz Night in Mount Barker this November to raise funds for the Australian Amyloidosis Network—supporting patients, families, and vital research into this rare cancer.

To help make the night a success, we’re looking for donations of goods, vouchers, or services to include in our raffle and silent auction. Every contribution, big or small, will help us raise more funds and make the night extra special.

If you, your workplace, or someone you know might be able to donate, please get in touch with me directly. 🙏
Your generosity will go a long way—and we’ll be sure to acknowledge and celebrate all who support.

Thank you so much for helping us make a difference. Together, we can turn a fun night into real impact. 💜✨

🌸Monday's Moment of Reflection🌸

Little Blossom Support team saw this video whilst doing some training and thought 'wow this can happen so easily to not just people with Down Syndrome but to anyone'. The good ol' self-fulfilling prophecy!

Here at Little Blossom Support, we want to promote independence and for our participants to try new things because who knows...maybe they can do more than they or I think! What a wonderful approach to life if we believe we can do anything we set our mind to. 😍🙌

Our negative assumptions about people with Down syndrome can lead us to treat them in such a way that these assumptions become reality. In sociology, this is...

🌸CARERS WEEK 2025🌸

During the week of October 12th - 18th, we are taking time to recognise and celebrate the incredible contributions of carers in our community. Carers often go above and beyond in supporting their loved ones, and their role can be both rewarding and deeply challenging.

One of the hardest realities we see as a disability support provider is that formal disability supports cease as soon as a person passes away. This can leave families and informal supports navigating not only grief, but also the complex and overwhelming task of finalising a deceased estate.

To help ease this burden, we have teamed up with Sage Executor Solutions to provide carers with information and guidance around deceased estate planning. Having a plan in place can make a world of difference when the time comes, giving families peace of mind and reducing the stress during an already difficult period.

Carers give so much of themselves every day. During Carers Week, we want to not only acknowledge their dedication, but also equip them with tools and knowledge to feel supported now and into the future. 💜

To attend this free event, please follow the link to get a ticket: https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/deceased-estate-planning-tickets-1637165910309?aff=oddtdtcreator

We look forward to seeing you there 😁

🌸INCLUSIVITY AT THE ROYAL ADELAIDE SHOW🌸

I have been working with the wonderful Owen from Show Lockers to arrange a large mobility scooter for the Royal Adelaide Show for a participant of mine. Owen has confirmed today that he has a mobility scooter (180kg weight capacity) in stock to hire at the Royal Adelaide Show. They usually only stock small and medium-sized mobility scooters.

I wanted to share this news, as if you support anyone who has mobility issues and requires this kind of mobility scooter at the Royal Adelaide Show, it is available. You can hire it from Sat, 30 August 2025 – Sun, 7 September 2025 (excluding the 4th September) for $110 per day.

The more that hire it, the more this can be an annual occurrence, and I get to see more people be able to access such a wonderful event. 🥰

Happy Monday! ✨

🌸Feedback Thursday!🌸

The wonderful Nicholas has been working with a participant for less than a month, and they have already smashed some serious goals. We appreciate receiving feedback, as it helps us improve our work and gives us an added boost of dopamine knowing we are doing exactly what we aim to do.

We pride ourselves on walking alongside you on your journey and assisting however we can to get the best outcome for you - after all, we want to see everyone blossom! ✨

🌸Walk a mile complete! 🌸

🌸ORIGIN OF LITTLE BLOSSOM SUPPORT NAME 🌸

I remember when I was a teenager receiving a bookmark that had my name 'Chloe' and the meaning of 'Fresh young blossom'. I found it quite a beautiful meaning, with lots of semantic richness. The idea that we are young, we have fresh ideas and that we show our beautiful selves - quite like flowers blossoming.

It was a no-brainer when I was thinking of business names, that I knew I wanted to use 'blossom', I just needed it to flow nicely - hence the introduction of ✨Little Blossom Support✨

It's crazy to think that so much time has passed, but it's still very early days. Here's to 2.5 years of Little Blossom Support. 🙌

🌸Walk a mile in my boots🌸

We've just joined Hutt St Centre for the Walk a Mile in My Boots Challenge from 4–10 August to raise funds for more than 7,000 people experiencing homelessness in South Australia this year.

Every dollar raised helps Hutt St Centre provide access to essential well-being services like meals, showers and laundry facilities as well as access to professional services like medical support, health clinics, and financial and legal advice. Our fundraising efforts will also help provide access to emergency and longer-term accommodation, as well as help to develop the confidence and skills to become work-ready.

🌸Sleep Hygiene🌸

Sleep is so important for our mental and physical well-being. There are many things you can do to improve your sleep hygiene, and today we are talking about why phones in the bedroom are not helping you.

Here’s some benefits to leaving your phone outside of your bedroom:
✨ Better Sleep Quality
No blue light = better melatonin = deeper sleep.

🧠 Less Stress & Anxiety
Avoid late-night doom-scrolling, work emails, and overstimulation.

⏰ Healthier Sleep Routine
You’ll fall asleep faster—and wake up more refreshed without immediately reaching for your screen.

📳 Fewer Sleep Disruptions
No buzzing, lights, or random notifications at 3AM.

💡 More Mindful Mornings
Start your day with intention, not Instagram.

Make your bedroom a tech-free zone and watch your sleep (and mental clarity) improve. Try it for a week—you might be surprised how much better you feel!

🌸Practising Gratitude🌸

Gratitude is a powerful habit 🌿
At the end of each day, try listing just three things you're grateful for — big or small. It could be a warm cup of tea, a kind message, or just making it through a tough day.

This simple practice can shift your focus, boost your mood, and help you rest with a peaceful mind. ✨

What are three things you are grateful for today?

Drop them in the comments or take a moment just for yourself ❤️

🌸LITTLE HEROES FOUNDATION🌸

Little Blossom Support was fortunate enough to attend the annual gala for the Little Heroes Foundation. This not-for-profit organisation is focusing their efforts on raising much-needed awareness and funds for childhood dementia. A severely under-funded and under-researched disease that is affecting an estimated 700,000 children worldwide.

The gala was a beautiful way to see the South Australian community come together and raise funds, and appreciate the efforts that the Little Heroes Foundation team are doing.

If you wish to donate, please follow the link below. Your generosity will bring us closer to finding a cure for this heartbreaking disease: https://www.littleheroesfoundation.com.au/donate/

🌸Benefits of Yoga 🌸

Here at Little Blossom Support, we are big on ensuring that our mental well-being is just as strong as our physical well-being. Yoga is a great way to improve both physical health (like flexibility and strength), whilst also improving mental health (like reducing stress, slowing down and supporting emotional resilience).

The cool thing is that there are lots of Yoga practices to choose from - whether it be slow and deep stretches and breathing, fast-paced and flexible movements, or even chair-based yoga. There really is something for everyone!

Why not explore yoga today so you can experience all the benefits that this practice has to offer - your body and mind will thank you later. 🥰
