About Me

Welcome to Mom Living Healthy. I'm Greta. For several years, I've been very interested in all things related to health and nutrition. I loved my college nutrition class, and I've always been fitness-minded. Being a mom has only increased my passion for living a healthy life. I may not be perfect (I do LOVE chocolate and ice cream!), but I enjoy learning ways to live a healthy life and to make healthy living fun and easy for my family. The Mom Living Healthy blog is something I've been wanting to create for quite some time. My goal is to create a space for people who are interested in healthy living and parenthood to share ideas and things we have learned with each other. I will write about topics including nutrition, recipes, fitness, recreation and time management. I am by no means a nutrition expert, so any information I share is from my own personal research. You should certainly do your own research when it comes to making healthy decisions for your own family. I love to learn, so if you have any suggestions or facts about these topics, please feel free to share. Here are a few fun facts about me. I have been married for 4 years and have an 18-month old son. I have a Bachelor's Degree and majored in German. I was in the Army National Guard for 8 years and went on two deployments, one to Bosnia and the other to Iraq. I worked as a medic in Iraq, treating American soldiers, Iraqi civilians and also enemy combatants. I love running (although I haven't been doing as much of it since my son was born) and the farthest I've run to date is 20 miles.
