About Maggie

I am a nurse and a mother of 2. I am also the founder of Nourish Interactive. I am very concerned about the health and well being of our children. I started the Nourishing Thoughts Blog so that I could help parents keep up on the latest trends in children's nutrition and exercise.

I know that much like reading and writing is the foundation for learning, nutrition is the foundation for healthy children. But with so many new studies, products and trends constantly being reported it is hard to keep up. I just want to make it a little easier for parents by doing some of the legwork and providing you with up to date information.


Healthy Monday- How much food does your child need to be healthy?

Mondays are a great day to renew Family Health vows. Every Monday, you will find some healthy tip to help your family start the week off on a Healthy Note!

Start your week off right, by learning exactly how much food each of your child actually needs. The beginning of school offers a great opportunity to discuss lunch choices, healthier choices and portion sizes. But it all starts with knowing what your child’s body actually needs to keep healthy.

If you are not sure, use the meal planner, it will tell you exactly how many calories AND more importantly, how to “spend” those calories. (how many servings of each of the food groups is needed for a balanced, healthy diet)

Thanks to Healthy Monday organization for sharing their Monday tips.
