Hi Reader, I have to tell you – I’m constantly reminded how amazing the Mama Knows Community really is. The replies I get to these emails are so thoughtful and kind. I appreciate your willingness to spend your precious time reading my newsletter and to share your personal stories and thoughts! This has long been my favorite way to connect with all of you, and I’m grateful for that. We’re coming off yet another Amazon sale week, and I know that these sales are something people either love or love to hate, and I understand both. I’m more than happy to have the people who don’t want to see the content opt out, because I never want to inundate you with content you don’t want. And for those of you who stick around, click my links, and maybe even make a purchase of something I’ve shared – thank you from the bottom of my heart. It may seem like a little thing, but it truly makes a difference for MKN and allows me to continue to answer your nutrition questions, write weekly emails, create new recipes and keep Mama Knows Nutrition thriving in general. Thanks for being here. ♥️ New This Week From Mama Knows Is your kid taking a multivitamin? Should they be taking one?I updated this post about multivitamins to explain exactly when kids need a multivitamin (and when they don’t) and share what my top picks are.
IN THE RECIPE BOOK Mini Chocolate Chip MuffinsThese muffins have become a HUGE favorite in our house and I love that they check both boxes: my kids are excited to eat them, and I know they're getting something that's going to keep them fuller and more satisfied than a typical muffin.
A Kids Book I'm Excited About A new book titled, “It’s My Body!: A Book About Body Positivity" released this month, and I’ve got to tell you – it was a great book for both of my kids. From toddler to pre-teen, this book has a great message and is written in an engaging and relatable way. Something I recommend hitting add to cart immediately!
I hope you have a great week, Disclaimer: this message contains affiliate links. As an Amazon associate, I earn from qualifying purchases at no extra cost to you. © Mama Knows Nutrition 2026 |

Hi Reader, A mom wrote to me last week sharing a dilemma that I’m sure a lot of you relate to. She was telling me how helpful it is for her kids to eat lunch from the school cafeteria – it saves both time & money – but she worried because other moms said they “wouldn’t feed their kids that crap.” So she wanted to know, is it okay to feed her kids the cafeteria food? Is it really that bad as these other moms are saying? First – I told her that feeding our kids is always about more than just...
Hi Reader, You know when you see some startling headline, like what I just saw yesterday – “sparkling water now linked to colorectal cancer” and you want to know whether it’s ACTUALLY a real concern, or if you can just go on living your life? I wanted to make it quick and easy for you to get to the bottom of it, no matter what the headline is. So I created a prompt that you can copy and paste directly into ChatGPT that will evaluate the claim the same way I would. (Except ChatGPT will do it...
Hi Reader, If you have a kid starting school for the first time or starting at a new school, and you’re feeling a little nervous about how lunchtime is going to go, there are a few things you can practice at home ahead of time.
