Who We Are!
Parenting advice that’s practical, personal, and written in pencil.
Who I'm!
I’m a teacher by trade and a mom by heart — and this little corner of the internet is where I share the kind of advice I wish someone had told me sooner.
Parenting in Pencil was born out of the overlap between the classroom and the chaos of real life at home. After spending years supporting kids as a teacher, and just as many learning on the go as a mom, I realized something important:
Parenting doesn’t have to be perfect. It just needs space to grow.
That’s why I created this space — to offer simple, smart tips and flexible tools for parents who want to do their best… without burning out.
What You’ll Find Here!
This is a real-life parenting blog. It’s not curated for perfection or packed with pressure. Here, you’ll find:
- Helpful blog posts with gentle guidance for everyday moments
- Free and paid printables to bring calm to your routines
- A simple newsletter with tips, encouragement, and support
- A growing shop filled with digital resources and printables I’ve created or love
Everything here is written and shared by me — from one parent to another — with heart, humor, and zero judgment.
Why I Do This!
I know what it feels like to wonder if you’re getting it right. I also know that you love your kids — and that you’re doing a great job, even on the hard days.
My hope is that something here makes your day a little easier, helps your home feel a little calmer, or simply reminds you: You don’t have to be perfect. You just need a pencil.
Our Mission:
To provide modern parents with flexible, functional tools that bring ease to the everyday — and encouragement when it’s needed most. We believe in gentle guidance, approachable routines, and parenting with heart.
