    Lisa LaGrou www.Mommy-Network.comWe've all heard the term Man Caves. My husband has his own man cave in our finished basement that he prefers everyone steer clear of. It's his place to get away, watch his nerdy sports, play guitar and do his work. If our kids get into his things and touch something in his space, he's not the best sport about it.  Read more >

    Lisa LaGrou www.Mommy-Network.com My mother-in-law phoned my husband recnetly with some sad news about a death on his side of the family. While the actual news of the call wasn't altogether surprising, the outcome was unexpected. I'm going to let my husband tell the story. Here it is:   I have to set this story up with a disclaimer. I have a large extended family.  Read more >

    When I first introduced my children to food when they were infants, there was a lot that they truly enjoyed, and none of it had any sugar or salt added. It was all they knew, and they were thrilled. I even made the food myself, and still did not add any seasonings to improve upon the flavor.  Read more >

    I saw an article with the following headline, dated January 04, 2010: Journal Says No Proof Special Diets Help Autistic ChildrenHaving a child on the autistic spectrum, I can truly attest that this latest finding is infuriatingly shocking to me. I can only guess that it is inconclusive and nobody is willing to make a claim that they can't seem to find any hard proof to back it up with.Here's a portion of the article:  Read more >

    Has anyone else seen those recent Chuck E. Cheese commercials? They're the ones where the moms are so worried about their kids safety that they become over-protective and can't relax when the kids are out to play. One commercial shows a nervous mom standing at the window looking outside while the kids play on the swingset.  Another shows a mom wrapping her kids up in bubble wrap before they go for a bike ride.Oddly enough, the solution message then enters... take your kids to Chuck E. Cheese where they can have some safe fun.  Read more >

    Back in the late 1990s, an mompreneur named Julie Aigner-Clark developed a series of DVDs (Baby Einstein) that would make your baby smarter by stimulating her infant brain. “Studies show that if these neurons are not used, they may die,” the first press release warned ominously.  Read more >

About Me: 

I am a mother of two and a wife to a wonderful husband. Our children are 7 1/2 (Jayson) and 5 1/2 (Lindsey). Both of our kids have special needs and have required us to be very involved in learning and caring for them. Our son was considered autistic back when he was 2 years 8 months (with a LOT of hard work, he is improving and doing great) and our daughter has Eosiniphillic Esophagitis - an allergy related disease that has her allergic to well over 30 foods. I stayed at home to care for the kids, and started my home business to help make ends meet. I began my website as an online tool for moms to network. My site means a lot to me - it was started so I could stay at home with my kids and I continue the effort so moms can share their parenting experiences, because special needs or not, we're doing the most difficult job we've ever been faced with!
