Hi, I’m Saloo and I never planned to turn our parenting life into a blog.
But here I am — sharing the messy, magical in-betweens of raising a curious, emotionally aware, and future-ready child.I started documenting our journey on Instagram, posting the books we actually read, the open-ended toys that grew with us, and the little parenting scripts that helped me breathe easier through a tantrum.
But I wanted more space.
More space to reflect.
More space to go deeper.
More space to build something lasting.
That’s why I created this site — Code & Crayons.
📚 What You’ll Find Here:
- Montessori-inspired play that’s realistic and flexible
- Our favorite books and how we use them to spark conversations
- Reflections on parenting in the digital age — without guilt
- How I use tech tools (like AI) to parent with more calm and intention
- Free guides, prompts, and resources that make parenting feel a little lighter
This space is for you if you’ve ever:
Thought: “What if tech didn’t replace parenting — but helped me parent better?”
Wondered how to raise a resilient child without constant battlesFelt overwhelmed by Pinterest-perfect setupsLoved the idea of Montessori but wanted it to work in real, everyday life
💡 Why “Code & Crayons”?
Because I’m a software engineer… and also a mom who picks up crayons, Lego pieces, and puzzle boards 10 times a day.
It’s the intersection of logic and love.
Of structure and wonder.
Of tech and timeless parenting wisdom.
🧠 What’s Coming Next:
Over the coming weeks, I’ll share:
- Real examples from our home
- A printable curiosity cheat sheet
- Tools we use daily
- And how even 10 minutes of intentional connection can rewire your day
Thanks for being here.
This isn’t a perfect parenting blog — it’s a purposeful one.
Let’s raise the next generation with more intention, less noise — and maybe a few more crayons.
