Lisa ArneillLisa started Growing Your Baby in 2006 after her son was born 4 months early. Now the mom of two, her blogging career started with a personal blog about her son’s journey and expanded with a site for all parents looking for information on pregnancy, parenting and gear trends.   When she’s not writing about her favorite finds she enjoys spending time with her family at the mall, the beach or the zoo.  Travel is her passion and her goal is to show her kids the world.  Trip by trip, they are crossing experiences off their bucket list and hope to live in by the ocean some day.  For now Lisa works full time running three sites; Growing Your Baby and World Traveled Family.


These moms contribute their unique voices to the site everyday and work tirelessly to ensure that our content is both fresh and accurate.

Jen Routledge, Senior Contributor

Jen RoutledgeJen R should have been a spy; she would have been really great at it. Instead, she has found limitless happiness raising a future international man of mystery. She is a writer, a maker of suppers, a kisser of boo boos and a finder of lost things. She would always prefer to watch politics than sports and will never watch a soap opera…ever.

  • I came across my photo on google and found my story on your website. I am writing in regards to the article about the birth of my son, Maverick written by Atula. It is in-accurate in some areas. You can email me for the correct details if you like.
