Staff


The entire staff of The Young Mommies Homesite are 100% volunteers and devote their time and energy to keep the site running smoothly! This site was created and run by young mothers and for young mothers; as such, we can all relate to what our members are going through.

Our Site Admin/Webmaster/founder is Kris. She started running The Young Mommies Homesite as a side project when she was an 18-year-old new mommy, and it has grown from there! Now that the site has gotten so large, she commits as many hours per month as her health allows ensuring that the site, the Boards, and the Communities are running smoothly and growing to better able to support young mothers!

We also have a volunteer staff of Board Coordinators/Moderators. These moms are in charge of maintaining our Boards, and are closely in touch with the members to make sure the moms are always feeling supported. They are also in touch with other Team members to ensure that they are doing what's best for their members.

The Coordinators and Moderators communicate on a regular basis through their Team's forum, and work as a collective as much as possible. When important decisions need to be made about the Boards, all members of our Team have a say in what actions are taken, and how. We try to listen to our members as much as possible to best respond to their unique needs. We're really proud of the great team of Moderators and Coordinators we have helping out!

In addition to Team members at the operation level, we have other contributors as well. This includes several mommy bloggers who share their stories on the YM blogs, and members of our Research Team who search out local resources to be added to our City-by-city Directory.

Kris is the Site Director, webmaster, and founder of YoungMommies. She quickly transitions from being the programmer, graphics designer, advertising rep, and article writer - whatever's needed! Her role also encompasses being Board Admin for the YM Boards, and stepping in as Moderator for Boards when needed.

She is a proud mom to DD Harmony Meghan (born 11/27/98), DS Avery Ryan (born 12/29/2004) and to DAs angel ronan, willow roselyn, and sienna rain (m/c in 02/2002, 10/2002, & 10/2003) She and her partner Paul were married on August 24th, 2003, and the family lives in Ottawa, ON.

Kris graduated from university in 2003 and holds a 4-year B.A. honours degree in Psychology and a B.A. concentration degree in Women's Studies. Since graduating, she has been a SAHM, WAHM, and WOHM. However, after a car accident in 2008 (her 2nd time being hit by a careless driver), she has been disabled and is now trying to work from home as well as continuing her volunteer work through YM.

She owns a graphic and web design company, KStar Design, where she offers thousands of Freebies!
