I could never imagine the impact #4H would have on my kids or our entire family. Yesterday my kiddos along with their #healthheroes teammates presented to over 100 middle schoolers about the negative effects of vaping. Did you even know that there is huge rise of 6-8th graders who are vaping?! So sad! Peer to peer teaching is a great way to influence healthy habits. That evening they got an Instagram message that was a photo of a locker at this school and someone had written #itsnotcooltojuul. They were so excited to see the kids instantly start to share the message. #ohio4h #4hgrowshere Even I have to admit it at this point. I have a problem. #crazychickenlady #cantstopbuyingchickens #arenttheysweet When you have the sweetest farm share customers who bring you the cutest gift at Saturday morning pick up. This little egg tea towel is eggactly the thing for spring. For sure using it on our table tomorrow for Mother’s Day! Thank you so much @dlittdan ❤️🐓

What?! You’ve never seen a chicken on a leash?? My husband referred to it as a “therapy chicken”. She’s not, but she sure could be. #crazychickenlady #happybirthdaysprout #ohiofarmers My baby. I blinked. She grew up. Long post of gratitude :: Making big career transitions is never easy. There is so much uncertainty. Almost 16 weeks ago, I took everything I have learned working in career services in higher ed and joined our advancement team as a major gifts officer. My job is to share the story of all the amazing things our students, faculty, researchers, and extension agents are doing to help make the quality of life here in Ohio and around the globe, better. I get to talk to people who are passionately excited to support the work of this college, extension and for 4-H. Today, we were greeted with a personal gift from our Dean who had these made just for our team to encourage and thank us while we have waited on a new team leader. I am immensely happy to be on this team that is so supportive, encouraging, inspiring and mission focused. Sitting in a meeting last week, we were discussing economic development and investment in Appalachia and talking about amazing success stories of families being lifted up out of poverty because of the work of this university. I heard God whisper, “this is what I was preparing you for”. I love helping people, I love seeing impact and communities thrive. I have unique gifts and talents that have prepared me for this job, at this time and I’m content, thankful and happy. Trusting in Gods plan for my life has been difficult at times. But I am so grateful for where He has led me. Jeremiah 29:11. For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” So excited to see the work of this college go forward to protecting and conserving our earth, sustainably growing food, supporting communities and families and helping to “make the best better”. What a gift - not a job, but a passion I get paid to pursue. #sograteful Artwork by @katiedaisy_artist ..... Happy Earth Day 🌎 “We abuse land because we regard it as a commodity belonging to us. When we see land as a community to which we belong, we may begin to use it with love and respect.” ...... Aldo Leopold, A Sand County Almanac ...... (my favorite book from my ENR 367 class. Thanks Dr. Disinger) Baby wrens have arrived in the chicken house!
