A Simple 'Thank you'

Today, I wanted to post something different than a recipe or something food related. I basically wanted to give a simple thanks to all of you who have supported my blog, viewed, messaged me about how inspiring it is so far, etc. Hence there are only 3 recipes, but there is more on the way! I promise, pinky promise. It's kind of funny and random how this all started... I literally was making scones one day and said to myself "You're going to make a blog. Ready....GO!" I mean what do I have to lose? Absolutely nothing.

It's been super fun coming up with ideas, finding recipes and modifying them to my liking. It's a great way for me to use my creative side and get outside of the box. This blog has helped me to get in touch with myself and find a hidden passion I never knew I had. 

Now, that's an awesome discovery. 

Many of you have asked, "What is Tate and Tot diaries?,  Where did you come up with that name?" Well, here's your answer.

Tate and Tot:

You remember the story, Jack and Jill? Well, I wanted to incorporate a modern version of that title. As of now, I am a nanny of a set of twins: girl and boy. I was just picturing Jack and Jill being a set of twins, curious little humans that explore everything they can. So, I wanted to make my own version: Tate being a girl, Tot being a boy. I love the word 'tot'. It's super cute and it just seemed fitting. Might be cheesy but I fell in love with it.  

In this blog, I want to be inspiring to mothers, nannies, or anyone looking for a tasty and healthy recipe.  This blog is mainly focusing on children's nutrition but, I want to reach out to everyone. It's true when they say, children are the future. Who knows, your child just may become the President of the United States one day, or an amazing athletic and go to the Olympics. You never know. I want to help feed their molding brains with healthy foods!

Their brains are developing so fast, almost too fast sometimes! They bring on new habits, their speech gets better, they start to comprehend life in general better. They learn new skills they never knew they had, test their capabilities. The world is their playground and it's literally at their fingertips, one monkey bar at a time.

All because of one thing: Nutrients. 

I believe that if you eat healthy, good food, your body will thank you and so will your brain. It's so important to pack nutrients into your child's daily diet as much as you can. Now, you see why I am putting spinach in juuust about everything ;) They don't have to know! "Honey, pancakes have always been green. Remember?" Takes a bite...Silence. Empty Plate. Mission Complete. One happy mama! You're welcome :)

I know there are a lot of busy parents that don't always get the chance to cook. You've had a long day at work, your boss is being a door knob, you get home and cooking is by far the last thing you're wanting to do. Trust me, I get it and we've all been there. So, in my blog I want to help provide recipes that you can make a large quantity of, that wont take up a lot of your time and that are super healthy and great for your little ones.

So, with all that being said...  I hope you follow my journey, join the adventure and let's be creative! Healthy kids are happy kids, which make happy parents.

Thank you. Thank you so much for following me, subscribing and being a loyal friend. Stay tuned because, this is just the beginning.
