Katherine has worked with leading pediatricians and child-development experts such as William Sears, MD and Barbara J. Howard, MD.

She was a contributor to The Imperfect Mom: Candid Confessions of Mothers Living in the Real World, an anthology of essays published in 2006.

Katherine and her craft-making partner Sarah Waldron created a website for parents who want to make fun, simple, and beautiful crafts with children. The crafts featured on their site, MakingFunCrafts.com, are as kid-friendly and easy-to-make as they are lovely.

Katherine is also one of chefs featured in Two Busy Moms Gourmet, a website featuring quick and easy recipes for busy parents. She and Danielle Butler-Leu, owner of Cooked in Brooklyn, a collection of commercial kitchens for chefs in Brooklyn, New York, are making it their mission to show parents how to make fast, easy, and delicious meals, even on busy weeknights.
