With A Little Care

02/11/2026

POV: It’s a Monday morning and you’re kneading dough with a horse at your kitchen window. You’ve made it. 🐴🥹😂

Today’s kitchen creation: homemade cheesy Vegemite scrolls! A firm favourite around here, with 19 made for the freezer and snacks sorted for the week. 💛

I’m a big believer that making things from scratch doesn’t have to be complicated or expensive. With a little planning, it can often be cheaper than buying pre-packaged snacks, too!

And the best part? Activities like this are about so much more than baking.

Following a recipe, measuring ingredients, mixing, making choices and preparing food for the week are all wonderful opportunities to build everyday skills, confidence and independence.

And it doesn’t have to be perfect or look the same for everyone. Pre-made dough, visual instructions, adapted utensils or a helping hand can make the kitchen accessible to more people.

It’s about finding ways for everyone to participate, have a go and enjoy the end result. (Taste-testing is a very important role, obviously. 🤣)

19 scrolls, one very invested horse and a productive Monday morning. Billy approves. 🐴💛

Another day, another farming… incident? 😂🐄

Standing here, absolutely belting a gate latch with my best pair of pliers because whoever tied this bloody thing up clearly intended for it to NEVER be opened again.

Me: Surely there’s another gate somewhere?
Also me: WHY WON’T THIS THING COME UNDONE?!

And then, just as I’m questioning every life decision that led me to this moment…

THE DOG’S BACK. 😭😂

For context, he’d decided to go on a little solo adventure about an hour earlier. We’re at least 8km from the house by foot, and this bloody idiot has apparently decided he’s had enough exploring and would like to rejoin civilisation.

No phone reception, no gate cooperation, one wandering dog, and me out here trying to run a farming operation with a pair of pliers and questionable problem-solving skills.

Honestly, you couldn’t script this s**t.

Anyway, everyone accounted for, gate still winning, and another successful day in paradise. 🤣🌾

K love you bye. 💛

🥹💛 WE DID IT. FIVE WHOLE YEARS!

Five years of building, growing, learning, making mistakes, figuring things out as we go, and showing up even when things have been bloody hard.

Five years of supporting incredible people, building genuine relationships, growing our team and turning a little idea into something so much bigger than I ever imagined.

And let me tell you, running a business is not always the glamorous highlight reel people see online. There have been plenty of tears, late nights, stressful days and moments where I’ve wondered how on earth I’m going to make it all happen.

But here we are. STILL HERE. STILL GROWING. STILL DOING WHAT WE LOVE. 🥹🌻

To every participant who has trusted us, every family who has welcomed us into their lives, and every team member who has helped bring this vision to life — this little celebration belongs to you, too. 💛

Five years down, and so much more to come.

Now, somebody pass me a fork. We’ve bloody earned this cake. 😂🎂🥂

We’re still feeling quite wet up here in CQ! Stay safe everyone! 🌊

🌧️ And just like that, it’s raining AGAIN. 😂🫠

We’ve had what feels like approximately six hours of partial sunshine, and Mother Nature has decided we’ve had quite enough of that nonsense.

Another storm rolling in over the property, the ground is already saturated, and I’m starting to think we might need to build an ark instead of a driveway. 🛶🤣

On a serious note, we know these conditions are affecting communities right across Queensland, including our participants, their families and our support workers.

💛 PLEASE stay safe and stay dry over the coming days.

🚙 IF IT’S FLOODED, FORGET IT! No appointment, errand or trip is worth risking your life over. Never drive through floodwater, even if you think you know the road or your vehicle can handle it.

🏡 If conditions aren’t safe, stay home. Please communicate with your support worker or our team if the weather affects your supports or travel plans. Your safety comes first, always.

Keep an eye on weather warnings, check on your loved ones and neighbours, and take care of yourselves out there. 💛

We’re grateful for every drop after the drought and bushfires, but we reckon Queensland has made its point now. We’ve got the message, thanks! 😂🌧️

Stay safe, Queensland. From all of us at With A Little Care. 🌻

Never an original experience 🧩

The lighter side of torrential rain in Central Queensland at the moment. 😂🌧️

I suppose I’ll see everyone in about two weeks when I can finally get out of my driveway again. 🫠🤣

Until then, I’ll be here living my best Noah’s Ark life, watching the horses disappear into the mist and pretending I always wanted to be a hermit.

We begged for rain, and boy, did we get it. 🌾💛

K love you bye. 🚣🏼‍♀️

More storms coming for those of us in CQ!

We’ve had over 100mm per day since Tuesday, and that’s just the beginning. Remember to fill water bottles with drinking water, fill generators and water pumps with fuel, charge your phones, close your windows, put the aircon on dehumidify, and look deep in the pantry for snacks! Being properly prepared for flooding can make your life a whole lot easier!

Stay dry everybody! See you on the other side!
