"Growing up Southern is a privilege, really. It's more than where you're born - it's an idea, a state of mind that seems imparted at birth. It's more than loving fried chicken, sweet tea, high school football, country music, and acoustic guitars. It's being hospitable, being devoted to front porches, magnolias, the good Lord, and each other. We don't become Southern - we're born that way."

Eating Healthy with The Very Hungry Caterpillar



The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle is my very favorite children's book. I absolutely love it.

So I was excited to learn that The American Academy of Pediatrics and The Alliance for a Healthier Generation have partnered with The Very Hungry Caterpillar to help families learn about healthy eating habits!

Just as The Very Hungry Caterpillar eats many different foods in his journey to become a butterfly, our children eat many different foods in their journey to adulthood. Help them learn how to make healthy choices. You can also download a growth chart to keep track of your child's journey to grow healthy and strong.

Check it all out HERE!
