Liza in the Lou: September 2015
http://lizainthelou.blogspot.com/2015_09_01_archive.html
STL Free Events for Kids. Saturday, September 12, 2015. Starting Solid Foods: What to Eat and When. Before my daughter was born, I read a lot of parenting books and knew the basic 5S’s. I knew that the first few months were going to be challenging, but I really did not know what to expect post-swaddle. I assumed that my child was going to be a Gerber-baby—because I was one—and because I did not know that there was an alternative. Dairy, shellfish, non-shell fish, soy, eggs, and peanuts. (. Inspire my chi...

I have about ten pages left in the New York Times bestseller, "How Children Succeed: Grit, Curiosity and the Hidden Power of Character.

I was especially struck by the section (starting on page 31 if you own the book) on attachment. It giv...

Liza in the Lou: On Being a "Gramma"
http://lizainthelou.blogspot.com/2014/05/on-being-gramma.html
STL Free Events for Kids. Tuesday, May 27, 2014. On Being a "Gramma". The mother of one of my very dear lifelong friends, Noah Harrell, wrote a touching guest blog post for Liza in the Lou on being a Grandmother. I think that it will resonate with many of you as you reflect on your relationship with your own mother or mother-in-law. She and her husband were barely 23 and I was 47…and we were all starting into a journey that would forever change our collective lives. When they got back, she was in her 6.

What Makes Me Smile – three with a twist
https://threewithatwist.wordpress.com/2016/11/07/what-makes-me-smile
Three with a twist. Family life with a twist of Down syndrome. What Makes Me Smile. November 7, 2016. Gigi has Down syndrome. With Down syndrome often comes low muscle tone. Because of this, at the age of almost two she still isn’t walking or crawling yet. This doesn’t mean that Gigi hasn’t been mobile. She’s been moving around since before she turned one by scooting around on her bottom. She butt scoots while dangling underpants. She has a silly smile when she says “Dee” for dad. She sucks her tongue.

STL Free Events for Kids. Friday, October 30, 2015. 7 Ways to Save Money and Live on One Income. I am Sarah at Liza in the Lou. Stasia and I went to college at UGA together and have stayed in touch through blogging. We both have adorable little girls- and I would be remiss if I didn't include a picture of my Elizabeth:. As the mom of a now almost 5 month old, I am LOVING being at home with her. The decision to leave my job was a very hard person decision but not difficult from a financial perspective.
