Thursday — November 23, 2023
Milestone after milestone! This month has been so great! First, we passed 5,000,000 unique page views for the year (which means nearly 25% of our page views across all years have happened THIS YEAR alone!), then (yesterday morning) November 2023 became the “Best November Ever” for reach and readership here at LeadSafeMama.com/ TamaraRubin.com (passing the views for our previous “Best November Ever” in 2022)! Readership continues to be very strong this month and it looks like we will likely close out November 2023 with about 460,000 page views for the month (unless something goes viral unexpectedly and we do far better than that)!
If you take a look at the graph below (breaking 2021, 2022, and 2023 out by color), what we’re seeing is a steady increase in readership and reach and impact of this work WITHOUT the need for something going viral to help make that happen. In 2022, we had a post go viral in May. This year we really have not had anything go viral (yet) — but even so this is going to be our #BestYearEver. This type of consistent readership and growth is a clear demonstration of how this movement is truly growing (it’s not just a trending topic or a flash in the pan), which means that an awareness of childhood Lead poisoning is growing, too. People all over the world are getting involved in the conversation and working together to help protect children from being exposed to Lead (and other toxic heavy metals) in their homes, schools, and environments.
AGAIN: Thanks for your support, everyone.
Please keep reading and sharing Lead Safe Mama articles — I would love to keep building this movement over the course of what we have left in the year (protecting children from Lead exposure and informing families everywhere about toxicant concerns with consumer goods they may use every day in their homes)! Our target for this year is to pass our “stretch goal” of 6,000,000 unique page views.
As I mentioned before, in thanks for this outpouring of support, every day we are continuing to remove ads from our most popular articles to help make the information more easily accessible to readers!
Thanks again!

Thank you for your work. Your 3M Lead Check Swabs link on Amazon doesn’t appear to work. Are these testers discontinued? If yes, what would you recommend instead.
Found the answer to my question in your post here: https://tamararubin.com/2023/09/scitus-the-best-currently-available-home-test-kit-for-testing-house-paint-for-lead/. NO RELIABLE HOME LEAD TEST FOR CONSUMER GOODS YET.
