💛🎶 Mia and her SW, Tyler's recent day out was a doozie! Starting with a relaxing picnic in the park, soaking up the sunshine and sharing laughs, before heading into the Civic Theatre Newcastle for the Mamma Mia Newcastle musical 🎭✨

Mia had the best time singing, dancing and laughing along. Her smile was brighter than the stage lights! 😄💛

Mamma Mia… how can you resist her?

☕⚓️There’s something special about a morning by the water - and Will knows it, spending a beautiful day exploring Newcastle Harbour, enjoying a coffee while watching boats cruise in and out of the port. 🚢🌊

Will loves soaking in the fresh sea air, chatting with his Support Workers, and taking in the calm, social energy of Newcastle’s waterfront. 🌞

Here’s to good coffee, great company, and even better views! ☕🌅

A few weeks ago, James built his very own bird feeder and has been patiently waiting for some feathered friends to drop by. After a couple of quiet weeks… his hard work finally paid off, with this pair of galahs enjoying their breakfast straight from his feeder. Such an exciting moment!🐦💗

James was so proud to see his creation being used, and loved capturing the moment on camera. Sometimes the sweetest victories are the ones we wait the longest for. 🌼

In September, Will had a fantastic morning at the , where the amazing crew from Fire and Rescue NSW Station 458 Teralba were showing off shiny fire trucks! 🚒✨

Will absolutely loved exploring the truck, chatting with the firefighters, and soaking up the buzzing community atmosphere at the markets. 💬🌻

We love seeing Will out and about - connecting with locals, discovering new things, and enjoying everything our region has to offer! 🌞

Our very own Glenda was all smiles this week, showing off her brand-new Stitch Christmas shirt - proudly captured by her HM, Cindy! 🎄👕

A huge fan of Lilo & Stitch, Glenda loves everything about the mischievous little alien, and her collection also includes three Stitch plush toys to match! 🧸💙💙💙

Like her favourite character, Glenda reminds us that family - in every form - means belonging.🌺💫

We think she looks absolutely stitch-perfect! 😉

We can’t wait to see Shana’s race day look - watch this space! 🌸🐎

Every morning, Bernie and HM, Cindy, have been cooking up something special - not just for themselves, but for their resident magpies! 🍳🌿

Feeding the birds has become part of Bernie's daily routine, and it’s easy to see how much joy it brings her. Her handmade mosaic bird bath is now the magpies’ favourite spot - and recently, Mother Magpie even brought her baby along! 🐣❤️️

What a fantastic week for Megs! 🌟

She’s been facing her fears head-on - welcoming new team members with an open heart, and stepping out to join her new support group Elsy’s Halloween Party! 👻✨

Not only did Megs join in the fun, she even got up to sing karaoke with a friend - talk about finding your voice! 🎤💫

And the confidence didn’t stop there - Megs spent a day cooking up a storm with HMBM, creating some delicious meals and proving she’s got both spice and spirit! 🍳🔥

We’re so proud of Megs for embracing new experiences, new faces, and new confidence. 🌻💚

🦇💚 What a fang-tastic night! 💚🦇 Luke, Annette, James, Penny, Claire, Shana, Chris, Dyani, Maggie and Michael absolutely SLAYED at the Dandelion House Halloween Party on Friday night - and we’re not just talking about their costumes! 😉

From cackling witches to caped crusaders, our crew came out bold, confident and ready to BOO-gie! 🕺💀✨

House Managers Jacob and Vanessa (with the help of our brave Support Workers 🧙‍♀️) managed to keep the ghosts and goblins (mostly) under control as everyone enjoyed spooky snacks, eerie-sistible drinks, and a night full of laughs haunting the hallways. 🕸️👻

It was so inspiring to see everyone embracing the fun, showing confidence, and letting their personalities shine brighter than a jack-o’-lantern! 🎃💫

We’re so proud of Dyani, who continues to refrain from drug use and focus on her goal of living a healthy, balanced lifestyle. Through hard work, courage, and determination, she’s made incredible progress in her journey. Choosing positive habits and embracing each new day with purpose, Dyani is truly 🌻

With encouragement from her amazing support team, Dyani has been exploring new activities that bring her joy and energy. On a recent sunny morning, she joined her SW Tully and HM Jacob for a refreshing swim at the Newcastle Ocean Baths, followed by a coffee at Nobby’s Beach. ☕🌊

There were smiles all around as they chatted, watched the surfers, and enjoyed the calm start to the day. At one point Dyani beamed and said, “Can I do this every week?!” - and Jacob replied, “Absolutely, it’s the best way to start your day!” 💬

We couldn’t agree more! 🌞 Dyani’s progress is a shining reminder of the power of positive choices, supportive connections, and the joy that comes from living with intention.

💚 Fun news: The trio even floated the idea of starting a Dandelion House Swim Club on Friday mornings - and Dyani’s all for it! 🏊‍♀️✨
