1) Why do you blog? I decided to start my blog for several reasons. I was a French teacher before having my son, and spent a significant amount of time living in France. When I returned to the United States I was appalled by the American diet and I was especially appalled at the diets of our teenagers. As a teacher, I integrated a lot of cooking into my curriculum, to teach kids about a healthy diet full of whole foods. When I had my son, I got tons of questions from other moms about how I get my son to eat things like eggplant. I decided to start the blog in order to get my voice out there, share what I know, and my opinions about food. To help change the American diet for the better.
2.) What do you blog about? The Foodie Mommie is a blog about helping families eliminate the processed foods from their diets, as well as providing tips for cooking as a family. I also provide product reviews, videos, and live web classes. I want my readers to be able to interact with me.
3.) What do you find to be the biggest reward you get from blogging? I really love the fact that I am getting to meet so many new and wonderful people. There are so many people out there with great ideas and marvelous things to say and I feel so privileged to be a part of this culture.
4.) How long have you been blogging? Since March 23rd :).
5.) Let's hear the story behind your blog title! Simple, I am a total foodie and now I am a mommy too! Mommie is spelled with an "ie" because I wanted it to match foodie :).
I love your reasons for starting a blog. It is ABSOLUTELY appalling how Americans eat and I hate that I've fallen victim to it. Maybe someday I'll get a brain and stop.. :(

ReplyDeleteHi there, nice to meet you. I'm over from a Monday blog hop where you are the featured blog.
ReplyDeleteI have a difficult time getting my 4 year old daughter to eat veggies so from time to time, I will stick a carrot or cucumber or something like that in a fruit smoothie for her.
I bet I could learn a few tricks around here!
