My name is Maida Carpio Scott, and I created this website, www.TheHealthyMom.com. I’m a work-at-home, semi-crunchy mom to 2 handsome, intelligent boys and wife to a wonderful, loving husband.

I am a first generation Filipina-American, born in Philadelphia, raised in New Jersey. I went to college for two years, served in the Air Force (active duty, then reserves), then finished my BS in Electrical Engineering. I married my soul mate, Doug, in 1996, after a 4 year long courtship. My oldest son is Zander, who is will be 3 in October 2005. His baby brother, Zevan, will be 16 months old on August 18, 2005.

My first internship was at Hewlett Packard, and one of my assignments was to learn how to make web pages. This was 1995, when the internet was “new.” An HP affiliate asked me to create a website for him. And that’s how MaidaNet was born.

I created this site to help with my journey through motherhood, and share my experiences and lessons learned. I also hope to earn money so that I can continue to stay home with my Zboys.

I hope you like it!
