Parents and Drivers Can Help Keep Halloween a Fun and Safe Holiday for Children

Halloween is one of my favorite times of year – our office is peppered with bowls of fun-sized chocolates and more importantly, I love seeing my kids dressed up in costumes. When I look through our photo album, seeing pictures of Tommy dressed as Superman or Sydney dressed as Princess Leia always make me smile.This year is no different – the Ross family is ready and waiting for October 31st so that we can trick-or-treat in our neighborhood. “Dr. Tommy Ross” has his lab coat and scrubs and…See More

Baby Safety

Babies are fragile, helpless and innocent. Because of their small size, lack of physical coordination and cognitive abilities, they are more likely to be injured. Join this group to learn valuable information to keep your babies safer!

Home Safety

The safest place for your child should be your home, but every year thousands of children are injured or killed as a result of preventable injuries that happen at home. To avoid this, take simple prevention measures and supervise your little ones.

Just Say No to Soft Bedding

When my husband and I had our firstborn child, we did what all parents do – buy tons of stuff we simply did not need. We registered for a bottle warmer, not knowing that Tommy enjoyed a cool thirst-quenching bottle straight from the refrigerator. We bought a wipes warmer and realized that was $30 wasted since it scorched the wipes as opposing to taking the chill away. We purchased a mosquito net for his stroller, but as mosquitoes aren’t the threat in Washington DC that they are in parts of…See More

Pool Safely this Summer

When my seven year old son Tommy was going swimming with his summer camp, I bombarded him with the usual “mom” safety commandments – “Make sure an adult is there…swim with a buddy…and STAY AWAY FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE POOL.” After years of working on the advocacy effort for the Virginia Graeme Baker Pool & Spa Safety Act, the dangers of drain entrapment are…See More

Profile Information

About Me:

I've worked at Safe Kids for over 10 years now, and love how my professional job helps me be a better mom! I have learned a lot about what to do (and not do!) to keep my two kids, Tommy (age 7) and Sydney (age 2, but going on 30), safe.

I spend most of my work time helping our coalition network with their grassroots advocacy efforts (car seat laws and bike helmet laws, for example) and also representing Safe Kids at the federal level to congressional offices and government agencies. Most of my personal time is spent figuring out what to feed my son for dinner or telling my daughter to stop dancing on the coffee table.

My blogging goal is to share with you information to make your life as a parent easier -- whether it be how to access recall notices or if you should buy a used crib (i recommend against that by the way!). Parenting is challenging enough, so I hope you think of Safe Kids as a your one stop safety clearinghouse!
