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.

Nourish Interactive Partners with Healthy Kids Challenge to Promote Healthy Families

I am happy to announce that we are partners with Healthy Kids Challenge.  We share a common vision and goal and by working together we can further our cause to promote healthy kids and healthy families.

What is the Healthy Kids Challenge?

The challenge is to help kids in your life make healthy eating and physical activity choices a habit.

The Healthy Kids Challenge Organization (HKC) helps you do that in a variety of ways:

  •  Healthy Me Challenge of the Month is a free monthly E-newsletter that offers a personal healthy eating or physical activity challenge. The focus is on six healthy messages – not weight.  Three to five simple challenges are offered each month. Pick at least one to Take the Challenge for your own wellness and see how many others you can get to Take the Challenge with you!
  • A Teaching Toolbox that includes resources with tips you can download. There are options for individuals, families or youth leaders and teachers.
  • At higher levels of involvement, HKC offers program development
  • Specifically for schools, HKC offers a year long distance assistance “School Challenge”. Participating schools receive resources, tips, and help by phone and E-mail with help to put wellness policies into action and help kids reach their best learning potential.
  • Special events such as a healthy fundraiser option, Dance for Healthâ„¢or the middle school Stirring Up Healthâ„¢ Recipe Contest help you provide fun opportunities with an added learning experience bonus.

Whatever YOU can do…a tiny step or a bigger leap…HKC can help you find something that works. Take the Challenge today and be a *KidLink™, a person who helps kids make healthy eating and physical activity choices a habit.
