I love this Blog Party... so many blogs to read... so little time. Thank you for stopping by! I appreciate your time.
Health Begins With Mom... It all started like this... I have been a Wellness Consultant for two and a half years. In that time, I have met a lot of people. A lot of really overwhelmed people. And the most common question I hear is: "Where do I start?" I have spent a lot of time answering this one question.
First, I ask more questions to find out where each mom is coming from - that makes a difference in what steps you take first! After chatting for a while, listening to moms tell their stories, I have learned that most of us are in the exact same place:
- We want to feed our children a healthy diet.
- We want to create a healthy living environment for them.
- We need to keep ourselves fueled for all the work we do in taking care of everyone else!
- And we want to be a good economist in the process.
This blog was created so that moms can have a frequent dosage of Health Help. I include some tips, some recipes, some information, and lots of encouragement. Making change is not easy! And making progress is so much easier with companionship along the way... that's why I'm here! 
I'd love to hear from you. Please comment to let me know more about you!
I posted my blog's purpose here: Why Health Begins With Mom?

Hi!
Nice to 'meet' you!

Your blog title is so apt! It's so true, health begins with mom! Glad I stopped by.
Come to my party in Dubai - no plane tickets required!!
Stopping by for the party! Happy UBP '09 and nice to meet you :O)
Joining the party!
I really love the idea behind your blog. It's nice to remind moms that they need to take care of themselves in order to take care of everyone around them. So often that's forgotten and we just take on too much without realizing what we're getting ourselves in to!
Glad to see you at the party !! Have wonderful Party Day
Hi! So nice to meet you! Stay healthy and Party On!
I'm partying UBP'09! Enjoyed looking around your site! I have to agree with you on "so many blogs, so little time"... I'm trying to get to all of them and leave some love, but I know I'll miserably fail! Love the idea, though!
Happy partying!
With hope,
Kristen

nice to meet you, you sound like an awesome mom
Love your blog! Happy Party!
Your right it is important for mom to be healthy. Great blog and enjoy the party
I don't do as much as I'd like to in this area but I do visit the Farmer's Mkt. every Saturday for local, organic veggies and raw milk. Always need help with meal planning though.
Found you through UBP09. I'm a humor writer and mom to two. Please come by anytime. :)
Hello! Poppin' in from The Ultimate Blog Party...all the way from Queensland, Australia! G'Day! I hope you have time to visit my party soon.
Ta!
I'd love to learn more healthy ways to feed my family!
Hi and hello! Welcome to the party
Hi there! This subject is close to my heart. I'll be back for more. Enjoy the party!
Happy UBP 2009!! Stopping in and checking things out on my way through ALL of the blogs on the family mr linky!
What a great blog concept! Happy partying!
Your blog sounds very interesting, I'll have to look around. I am always reading something about health, but I'm often frustrated about all the conflicting ideas. Like raw milk and raw foods and such. What do you do as a wellness consultant? Nice to meet you and happy blog party!
Nice to meet you!
Talk about a party!
I'm quite intrigued and am learning how to get around!
Just stopping by from 5minutes for moms blog party!
It's great to meet you! What a wonderful blog. Hope you have a wonderful bloggy party!
My health journey began with my son's eczema. Everyone else had been extremely healthy until him. It just blew us out of the water that he would have such a serious problem. Diet was the answer for him, since then I've realized how important what we eat is. I am confused often though because of all the misleading and contradicting information that is out there. I've really appreciated your blog!
Thanks for hosting a blog party! What a great ministry you offer to moms here. I am going to be sure to stop back by after all the party hopping. I look forward to getting to know you.
Since I got married to my hubby 7 1/2 yrs ago I've been growing and growing in the area of healthy eating. We are in the process in becoming vegetarians. I am following you right after this comment. Looking forward to getting to know you better and learn from you.
Great purpose to this blog! I agree and love your style. :)
Happy UBP!
I'm definitely trying to get myself and my family healthier... although my eating habits have little wiggle room. I'm a picky eater by biology not by choice. :-) I love finding healthier ways to make the foods we eat, though!
It's nice to meet you!
Blog hopping with UBP09. Great blog. Come and visit me some time.
Hi from UBP 2009!
It is nice to meet you!
thanks for the party
I'm SO glad that this year's UBP has introduced me to your site. I'll be back often and would LOVE to share your articles with my readers from time to time.
Glad to meet you!
What a great blog! I could definitely use some help with the quest for a happy, healthy family. I will be visiting again! Nice meeting you =)
Hi!
I'm just clicking in from the party link list. You are sooooo right. So many blog parties... so little time.
Stop in on my party if you've got a minute!
Hi,
I'm visiting from the UBP. I'm having a blast meeting new people and reading everyone's blogs. It was very nice to have met you. Come on over and check out what's going on at my blog. We're having a blast!
Hi, I was blog hopping but just had to stop in your and say "Hello"! As a young Mom of two having a healthy home is of great interest to me! Right now I am researching the benefits of xylitol ... what are your thoughts on xylitol??? I'm not a blogger but I have just begun a new online community ... www.birthforums.com ... I would love to have you come join and share some "health advice" to our young pregnant Moms!
I'll be back to read thru your blog later!
have a great day!

yes, I totally agree with your philosophy on health. We need a constant dosage of encouragement. I am a fitness teacher with a passion for keeping healthy food on the table and a balanced life. It's hard though at times. My main theme is organizing for my blog, but there are a lot of sub-categories.
I just blogged about raising kids (specifically a daughter) to have a heatlhy relationship with food - and now I stumble across your site as part of the Blog Party. That's serendipity in action...
Hi. Its nice to meet you. Im just now joining the party. I enjoyed your blog.
Hi,
So good to meet you. I live near Athens, GA.
We are just now starting a healthier eating routine. I now drink 8 glasses of water daily. I was drinking sweet tea all day, I hated the taste of water. Now that I have started drinking it I am actually finding it refreshing.
Thanks for stopping by my blog.

I found you from the ubp 09. We have been experiencing some of these health issues that you write about and I have been looking for practical ways to make it work. Stop by and si hi some time.

stopping by from the party! love the concept of your blog...i am a nurse and mother of 3 boys, so i'm always striving to keep our family healthy and happy too :) stop by and meet me when you have time...take care, tracy
Yay UBP 2009. I found your blog through the UBP and I am glad I did. This is a subject that I am keenly interested in and with a daughter just starting solid food I fell as though this is the perfect time for me to learn how to give her the healthiest start. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. I will come back eagerly and often.
Hi stopping by from UPB. I love all the healthy things you are doing for your family.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts! I hope you have a great time with the blog party!
Oh I love the idea behind your blog! I'll definitely have to check it out more later... (I'm just bookmarking everyone right now, while I blog-hop my way through the party :-p)
Feel free to check out my blog, too! While I found the party too late to be part of the official prize giveaways, I do have a door prize at my blog: I'm giving away a free print copy of my book, "Two Snowflakes." Here's my address: http://twinhappyjen.blogspot.com/
It was nice to meet you!
love the blog name. Thanks for encouraging me to continue taking baby step towards better health
I found your blog from the big party. I've seen enough to know I want to keep reading here...so decided to subscribe by reader. Thanks for the health tips.
I actually found your blog through Renee, who I went to high school with, but I participated in the UBP this year too! I love your blog and I have added you to my bloglined. I just started packing my kids lunches and am trying to get healthier!
Love this blog! Mom is the place to start, the party is on glad I was finally able to comment.
