Articles by Kate Hayes
Kate Hayes is a children’s book author, professional marketing writer, former TV news anchor, and blogger. Her funny stories about parenting and life in New England (www.adventuresinparenting.me) recently earned her recognition as one of the BlogHer 2011 Humor Voices of the Year. Kate’s most important role is that of a busy mom with two young children and a husband to feed. And most of the time, she feels like she doesn’t do a very good job of making the best food choices.

She will be documenting their journey for readers to share in on the ZisBoomBah blog.

I have never been a drinker. I’m not a gambler. In fact, I can’t seem to find an anonymous support group to help with my own personal struggles. If one existed, every meeting would probably start with me admitting, “Hi. I’m Kate and I’m a nutritionally challenged mom.”
Oh, the shame in that confession! If only it were possible to look around the room to see other sympathetic nutritionally challenged…
