"Healthy Business" interview for Speaking Forward radio show
Just came back from a radio show with Olga Morse and Jeff Haynes, of Speaking Forward. As many business women and as many working parents, I send my daughter Charlotte to child care. I try to teach Charlotte healthy habits at home. I also do my best to be consistent in providing her healthy and nourishing meals at home. The role of child is sometimes overlooked, yet children spend 8-12 hours in child care and get 3 or more meals over there. It is extremely important that the food children get while in child care is healthy. On this show I talk about easy ways to improve nutrition in child care. For example, celebrate special occasions with non-food treats, like stickers, pencils, trinkets, stamps, etc...! Games and other activities are also a hit for children. They won't even ask about sweets. Speaking from experience. The show will air on Saturday, Sep. 3.

Parents Start Healthy Eating Committee - NBC29 WVIR Charlottesville, VA News, Sports and Weather
I am so excited that NBC 29 got interested in our Children's Healthy Eating Committee. I think it is a very important issue and it is often overlooked. Children spend 8-12 hours in child care, they eat at least 3 meals there. It's especially important that the meals they get in child care are nutritious and healthy. We are for offering children to choose between healthy and healthy food.

Michelle Obama's national
Let's Move campaign stresses the importance of healthy food and physical activity. One out of three children in America is overweight or obese! Here is a local way to get involved!
This
petition is being widely discussed around Charlottesville. I am strongly in support of it and I really look forward to the Charlottesville's School Board Meeting on June 2nd.
My daughter is not in school yet and our Children's Healthy Eating Committee is a grassroots organization started by parents in her Child Development Center. Take a look at the
pictures of our bulletin board.
