I was honored to assist Mission Motherhood with this brand application.

We are so grateful to announce that St. Joseph Community Health Foundation has awarded Mission: Motherhood a grant in the amount of $4,500 to expand our diaper bank and pantry program.

Thanks to this initial funding, the Northeast Indiana Diaper Bank will roll out in early 2022 and is looking to serve the needs of our region.

For families with young children, diapers are a necessity, not a luxury. Providing no cost access to diapers alleviates stress for families that are already stretched thin and addresses maternal mental health practically. Studies indicate that the stress of diaper need greatly outweighs the stress of food insecurity for a mother due to the severe lack of access and availability. We can do better - we have to.

Our pilot program, in partnership with Community Harvest Food Bank - Fort Wayne, Connect Allen County and Wellspring Interfaith Social Services, will continue to serve emergent needs of our community while including additional pantry sites in the New Year as well.

I've been working with the team at A&L Great Lakes Laboratories, INC. for over 5 years. They were my first client after I decided to start my business after my daughter was born.

Earlier this year, we set a goal to get Jamie Bultemeier's content about soil sampling and the lawn care industry published in a national publication. Today is that day. My experience in the publishing world, and relentless follow up, landed us top billing in the Green Industry Pros e-newsletter today.

I am so proud of the work I get to do with this organization.

Most reports indicate less than 5% of professionals are taking the time to collect a soil sample routinely to guide turf and landscape management, but soil testing can take the guess work out of achieving the desired lawncare results customers want.

It is exciting to see a collaboration come to fruition. Earlier this year, JH Specialty, Inc asked me to help them with a website redesign for A. Hattersley & Sons. I managed the written content. The new site is absolutely stunning. Thanks to JH and AHS for trusting me to help tell the story.
