I think it all started when my much younger sister was born. Sophie and I share the same dad, but her mom was my dad’s second wife. As Sophie grew, I watched her mom short order cook for her time and time again. Never did she eat the same thing as all of use at the dinner table. This used to absolutely drive me crazy. After that, I decided to study nutrition in school and since became a registered dietitian. I ended up working in foodservice for several years and also started perusing a second career on the side, photography. The only reason I mention this is because I know many of you know me as "Kelley the photographer".
When I had my first baby (Annie), my passion for kid’s nutrition was completely reawakened. I would see parents of her peers completely throwing nutrition out the window before the kids barely had all of their baby teeth! It was a sad moment when I realized the majority of the kids in her toddler preschool class were asking for McDonald’s by name. I started doing consulting for local daycares and parents, offering help to moms and dads with young and/or picky eaters.
After I had my second child (Max), I decided to focus on the three things I’m most passionate about- childhood nutrition, photography and spending time with my kids. I do my photography on the weekends and plan to start up a small nutrition consulting business during the week part time while home with my kids. I always like to keep my plate a little full!
In this blog I intend to publish tips and tricks for parents who are interested in their kid’s health. I hope to include a variety of ideas, recipes, personal stories and links- all related to kid’s nutrition.
Happy eating and enjoy your better bitty bite!
Kelley
