About the Diva
I was born and raised in Pennsylvania, in a small town 25 minutes south of Pittsburgh!! I am 29 years young and my birthday is April 15th, I am an Aries and my birthstone is Diamond, how fitting!! Ha Ha!!!! I have 4 sisters, Jennifer 34, Melissa 33, Angela 23, and Gina 19 !!! Lots of girls, poor dad!!!!
I have a 11 year old son named Anthony that is the light of my life! I was a teen mom and proud!
I had Anthony when I was 17, I found out I was pregnant the summer before my senior year of High School, I knew my life would be forever changed, and my Senior Year of school would be very difficult now, but I didn’t look back ! It was a very hard time for me, I had Anthony in March of my Senior Year and graduated in June !!!
I was now a mom and only still a kid myself but I matured very fast and did what I needed to make my son number one!! I would never change it for the world, I am so blessed to have him and don’t have any regrets!! I definitely didn’t have a normal teenager life but It was all worth it!!
I have a wonderful husband , Michael is the best , Anthony and I are so lucky to have him! Michael and I just got married June 18th, 2011, and you can read all about the planning and other stuff on My Wedding Details Page , Here!
We recently moved from Fort Wayne, IN , and now back to my home, Pennsylvania! We are so happy to be back here, and to finally settle!
Mike is a Patent Attorney at a firm in downtown Pittsburgh and Im a full time blogger and stay at home mom/wife 
My Healthy Lifestyle Philosophy….
I started this blog because I love living a healthy lifestyle, love people, and love spreading happiness!
I eat really healthy, lots of fruits, veggies, organic, and whole grains! Foods that make my body happy 
I really just eat what I want, if I want ice cream for lunch, I have it, its all about balance to me and not depriving yourself!
Listen to your body, it will tell you what it needs! It might say veggies for lunch and ice cream for dinner!
Ummmm yeah I am also known as the Ice cream Monster, because when I treat myself to it, I really do it big!!!!
I have to add the most important part….I LOVE Hello Kitty! My lovely readers know this! People see Hello Kitty and automatically think of ME!
Thanks for stopping by my blog and I truly am grateful for all my readers and love I receive daily!
If you ever have any questions, please email me at healthydivaeats@hotmail.com. Any comments, leave them! I love hearing from people and love to help out with anything as well, advice I like to give on a healthy lifestyle, fashion, or even relationship advice, haha! Look forward to hearing from you!
We are all beautiful inside and out! Live life to the fullest, life is amazing just like all of you!

Hey Katie! I’ve “known” Anthony for awhile now but never did the math…I didn’t know you had him when you were just 17. It seems like he turned out to be the sweetest kid in the whole world! The end of high school may have been tough, but now you can enjoy life with him for many more years. You’ll be in your 30s when he goes to college!
Oh wow! I thought you knew that! Yeah it was tough, but so wroth it all! He is the best!! Yes I am a young mom! Its funny, and it is cool too though!!
I just found your blog through Twitter. And wow! I love it I’m hooked. Your writing style and content is great. Totally enjoy it.

You have killer biceps! Do you follow a specific diet or food plan, or try to eat a lot of protein?
Keep up the great work and good luck on the fitness instructor certificate. I did mine last year… knowing that you are a zuma instructor it will be EASY for you!
-Jessica
Hey Jessica! U are so sweet! Thanks for the comment and for stopping by my blog! I actually dont follow a set plan, but I make sure to get protein at every meal! I do use protein powder in my oats every day and have protein smoothies after weights! I try to weight train 3 or 4 days a week and do cardio 3 days a week, but no longer that 35 minutes!
Thank you so much for the good luck on my fitness certificate! Means so much!!!!
Ok I must have read this 3x already but I just heart you so! =) You’re totally right, we all do see hello kitty and think of you! You need to get on pinterest so I can send you all the fun stuff I find!

Hi! I stumbled upon your blog through your comment over at Peas and Crayons, and I’m so glad I did! Your story about your son definitely warmed my heart up ~ I used to work at a daycare, and I saw way too many young moms who seemed like their kids were just “in the way”. And congrats on being a newlywed, how exciting!
Awwww hi Katie! Great name you have ; )
Im so glad you found me through a comment on peas and crayons, I find a lot of blogs that way too! Thank you so much, your sweet words mean a lot to me! I appreciate it so much!
The Hello Kitty is adorable. And I feel ya about doing it right when it comes to ice cream!
Hi Corrie!
Thanks for stopping by! Yes, ice cream and I are soulmates and I never go small with it ; )
I found your blog by googling “cotton candy martini”
haha! Love it, and so glad you did! <3
Katie,
I just came across your blog and was immediately floored by just how awesome you are. A college student now, I can’t even imagine the strength and courage you must had to be able to have your son at such an important age — you truly are an inspiration! I love your upbeat and light-hearted style of writing and, although I’m not a fan of Hello Kitty in the least, I appreciate your fondness
I’m definitely bookmarking your site… I look forward to reading more!
Please feel free to stop by ohshineon whenever!

Katie
