Helping parents become better feeders,
so they raise great eaters!

by Your Child Nutrition Expert Jill Castle

A Blog is Born

September 3, 2009 | In: Uncategorized

After many months of consideration, false starts and re-considerations, here I am world!  Sort of like deciding whether or not to make the commitment to have a child, or start a business, or buy a house, beginning this blog has been an idea in my head that has grown from a tiny seed into a full rutabaga.

WHY am I doing this?  It’s not like I am not busy enough… kids, dogs, a husband, household, and a business that is growing like a child in a growth spurt.  I am doing this  because families need nutrition information…because many of our nation’s children are overweight, allergic, not eating, hate their bodies, sit in front of the TV, and/or are constipated and cranky…and because my knowledge, opinions, and creative ideas cannot sit in my head any longer.

This blog is yet another vehicle for information dissemination–for awareness, education, motivation, and action.   Especially for children and their families.

A baby blog is born…I hope to nourish it, encourage it, support it, and help it blossom into a full grown, healthy, strapping BLOG.

Congratulations! I recently started a blog as well (Nutritioulicious.wordpress.org), and as a fellow RD I know how time consuming it is to do it all, but getting out good, accurate information is so important! I look forward to reading your posts!!

If the “born” post is a sample of your writing, I look forward to more. Much more. Congratulations on entering the blogosphere. And, I for one, don’t think it takes that much time to post. I have slowed down recently just because I think I’m running out of things to say!
