Free Subscription to KIWI Magazine-Moms meet Moms

KIWI Magazine, Growing Family the Natural and Organic Way, is offering a Free online subscription when you register with Kiwi Online and agree to receive periodic promotions. The offer is part of a promotion to announce the "Moms Meet, a new meeting place for moms who want to raise healthy kids".

As a mother of three children, eating healthy or I should say "balanced" is important. I'm not an extremist by any means. By balanced I mean in "moderation". John and I try to prepare homecooked meals that are moderate in fats, sodium, and protein. Outside of the home, fending off the soft drinks and bags of chips loaded with trans and saturated fats and other processed foods is a constant struggle for most parents. The result: Child obesity is an epidemic in this country.

Thankfully, I taught my children to drink water and juices (no soda pop) and snack on fruits and carrots since they were young. If there is nothing else to drink but Coke or Pepsi at a school event or kid's party, they will drink it but they prefer fruit juices. We hope this carries with them throughout their lives so they grow healthy and strong.

Kiwi is a great education and support tool for parents, and mothers to lay a foundation for healthy habits. [Alicia]
