Children’s Books
Author

Every parent has read a children’s book for the 90th time and realized that they would rather read one about things they enjoy. As a science nerd, I made a little series of science concepts to enjoy and share. Read the first one free here. 📖

Community Disability Advocacy
Creator

Disability advocacy has been part of my life forever as a Deaf/HoH Dyslexic person with a mother who specialized in Elementary Special Education, but now that advocacy takes on new life as tools have been democratized and my own child has navigated accessibility challenges. Empower yourself to build your 504/IEP and empower a coach, teacher, or scout leader to Make It Inclusive here. ♿

Community Resources Tool

Families need to juggle air quality, weather, traffic, events, and more to make plans for the day to support each other and grow. This is a little tool for that I made to celebrate the families who were supporting my start-up. Check out Pittsburgh Family Home resources here. 🫶

Community Resource Database
Creator

My first effort at community-specific reviews started with a conversation about how highly rated restaurants for the general public are not necessarily highly rated for a family experience with small children. Now it includes physicians, parks, businesses, resource centers, and more! Check out Pittsburgh Family Spots Here. 📍

In 2015, I had an infant, an appreciation for communities I saw online helping each other out, and a need to swap newborn stuff for toddler stuff, so I created this free-swap community. Today over 2000 moms participate in this lively community, support each other, and give good stuff to each other. Pittsburgh Moms can Join Here ♻️
