These two keep me young.
On this day 2 years ago, the guy with the self-painted orange hair broke my water after a 4 mile hike in the Eagle Cap wilderness of Northeast Oregon. We ended up in a tiny mountain town hospital where I spent my 41st birthday walking along a path dotted with horses and cattle to get my contractions started. Two days later, Jack arrived. His birthday we will celebrate Saturday. Life has changed, and time flies too fast, but gratitude grows every day. Thanks to all of you who have spent another year with my team!
This is a short clip from Sunday's show in case you didn't make it to the end. We had a mama fox and 4-5 kits move into an old gopher tortoise hole, about 20 yards from the chicken coop. Every single farmer I talked to told me to shoot the foxes as they're notorious chicken thieves. I chose a different route. Thankfully I have a very loud dog and lots of energy from all the good nutrition in Green Pasture's fermented cod liver/butter oil blend - so I was prepared for taking on the fox - and didn't lose a single chicken.

When we got our first set of chicks two years ago, the plan was pretty boring. Gather our own eggs right outside the house and never run out. Little did I know that chickens are wonderful babysitters, dress-up partners, art class teachers, and non-stop entertainment! We love the eggs, but as a parent of young kids, I love how much learning our kids do with chickens - while also having a lot of fun!
It does take a creative brain to think up all the ways to play with a chicken - which is why the omega 3s in Green Pasture’s fermented cod liver/butter oil blend will ramp up your chicken playtime ideas! I have been taking it for 15 years and I credit it with helping me end a chronic battle with cavities. It’s got vitamins that are important for brain, gut, hormonal and bone health - and it’s a food not a supplement. Ditch the cheap fish oils and try it.

We celebrated Lily’s 6th birthday recently. (Yes SIX!! If you’ve been part of this community since I was pregnant with her, it’s surreal how fast it has flown by!) So, what do you get your daughter when her best friend is a chicken named Carla? A chicken purse carrier of course. Now they can go on all kinds of adventures together. I hope the downtown sidewalks are ready. Honestly, I kind of think Carla likes it?!
By the way, both of my kids take the fermented cod liver/butter oil from https://www.greenpasture.org/ — It’s food, not a supplement, that’s packed with vitamins A, D & K in highly absorbable form that your body will recognize. I battled chronic cavities before taking this, and now have check-ups where the dentist remarks at the health of my teeth and gums. This happened even before I cut sugar and ultra-processed foods.
