25.01.2022 It’s a hard life being a dog guide! Yas is happy to wait on the couch while Henry cooks banana bread. She’s waiting patiently for something to drop! I think she got a couple dropped bits but that banana bread was too good to share. Great job, Henry. Picture 1: A close up of Yas, a yellow lab, lying on a black couch with her head on the arm rest. You wouldn’t know she’s waiting for food except for her eyes. They are both turned to the left, INTENTLY starring into the kitchen.... Picture 2: A picture of the whole room. Yas is lying on the black couch on the right side of the picture. Henry is behind the kitchen bench preparing the food on the far left. In the background, there’s a folded up tread mill, a 4 seater dining room table and, of course, dog toys.

23.01.2022 Are you losing your vision and love to read? Or would you like to send messages to someone who can't see? !?Why not learn Braille!?... Braille was designed to enable you to read when you can no longer see print. It is also a fun and unique way to communicate with others. Come join this growing trend and learn Braille with us! (Photo of a young girl being introduced to Braille. In front of her, on the table she is sitting, is a Perkins Brailler. Sitting to the young girls left is a Braille instructor who is holding a book with letters from the alphabet in Braille on it.)

18.01.2022 !?WHO cut the CHEESE!? ~~We did~~ After searching and trialling a wide selection of cheese cutters, the jury is now out with the best result. We all found the wire cheese cutter to work the best for big blocks of solid cheese. As you can see in the picture, the wire cheese cutter can even cut through hard cheese wrapped in wax. If you’re having difficulty cutting the cheese, look into one! This one, integra maison marble cheese slicer, was purchased from Kitchen Warehouse for... $19.95. If you have some tips or equipment for cutting cheese, feel free to share it with us in the comments. (Picture Description: A marble cheese board lies flat with an attached handle on the right hand side of the board. The handle is attached to a thin wire that moves up and down by moving the handle. A block of hard smoked cheese wrapped in a green wax lies cut on the board. Behind the marble board is the box it came in.)
18.01.2022 !!Oven mitts!! Who would think they would be such an issue for people who are blind or have low vision?! Yet, they are... We’ve recently found a pair that are almost perfect! Weber Premium Gloves. They have fingers to easily grab everything, they come halfway up your forearm so you don't burn yourself and have a silicone non-slip grip on the palms. If you’ve found the perfect oven mitt, let us know in the comments. If not, give the Weber Premium Glove a try! A special shout ...out to The Weber Store in Northlakes, QLD! The manager, Mick, hooked us up with a pair in each size for our clients to try before they buy. Thanks Mick And Weber!! You rock. (Picture description: a pair of black and red, small to medium Weber Premium Gloves laid out on a white bench top. One shows the silicone grip in the palm while the other shows the black back. Behind the gloves is the box they came in.)
18.01.2022 Jack loved making homemade potato soup a few weeks ago! He used a Tupperware microwave pressure cooker to make the soup and a Tupperware string pull chopper to blend it up nice and smooth. To his surprise, he loved it! Picture Description: Picture 1 - Jack has a look of concentration on his face as he holds the chopper with his right hand and pulls the string to blend it with his left hand. The chopper sits on a white tray. Picture 2 - Jack tastes his soup! He leans over the glass bowl with his finished soup inside and is just about to put the first spoonful in his mouth.
15.01.2022 When you’re given a BIG Orientation and Mobility challenge and you SMASH IT, you deserve a reward. Picture Description: The picture is taken behind Jack who is in mid throw at a neon lit arcade game, Blox Breaker. The picture catches Jack mid throw so his arm is extended in front of him with a yellow ball hanging in mid air as it has just been released from his hand. Jack smashed O&M AND arcade games today!
