Katherine, creator of SafeMama.com
Hi! My name is Katherine. I am a mother of two boys aged 15 and 12. In 2007, I found it to be completely overwhelming to spend time researching safety issues for my first child. That was 15 years ago! I spent hours looking up Bisphenol-A, reading about the hormone-mimicking chemical called phthalates in PVC, or looking for the latest toy recalls. I had an “a-ha” moment and thought that I must not be the only parent scouring the Internet for information about things that affect our children. I started SafeMama™ to keep it all in one place.
If I can save one mother or father an hour of valuable time and provide them a space to get informed, figure out what to buy, or not to buy, without having to go from site to site to site looking for answers… then I’ll sleep better tonight.
There are dozens of sites like mine now and they are all run by great people and parents like me. What I can offer you is my knowledge of 15 years researching as a concerned parent, like you. My door is always open to your questions.
What This Site is For:
This site isn’t to take the place of official information or the advice given by medical doctors. It should be used as a resource, and a time-saver to help you as a parent make decisions that affect your kids and to find fun and healthful tips on living a healthy safe life.

More About Katherine
I was once a web designer by trade and during that time co-authored a book with my amazing business partner about blogging called The IT Girls’ Guide to Blogging with Moxie (Wiley Publishing). Having kids really changed the way I view the world and they sparked change in my life. They are a big reason I want to change the world and help people. I attended a Liberal Arts College in Pennsylvania and took away a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree. I worked in the cement jungle of Philadelphia and beyond for many years, but seized an opportunity to start working from home as a freelancer when I began to have kids. I write freelance and welcome your pitch to write for you. Below is a selection of my work and publications I have been featured in.
