Hi, I'm Mae.
Former kindergarten teacher, current parent of two. ToMomLog is the parenting blog I wish existed when I was the new mom on the floor with the cheerios.
I taught kindergarten for eight years before my first kid showed up and reminded me how much I'd forgotten about three-year-olds. ToMomLog is what I started writing in the margins of those years — the small experiments that worked, the books we re-read so often the spines gave up, the recipes my four-year-old can flip without setting anything on fire.
What you’ll find here
- Tiny activities you can run with what’s already in the kitchen.
- Honest book reviews — yes some are bad, no I won’t pretend otherwise.
- Printables you can put on the fridge, free for subscribers.
- Real photos of our real countertop, crumbs and all.
What you won’t find here
No screen-time scolding. No “unlock your child’s full potential.” No flat-lay aesthetics that make you feel bad about your own kitchen. The point of this place is the opposite of homework.
