I code. I parent. Sometimes at the same time.
I build things for my family. Maybe they’ll help yours too.
Printling
Ready for testingA fresh screen-free activity, printed every morning.
I love finding things to do with my son that aren't a screen — but keeping a steady stream of new ideas going, especially first thing in the morning, is the hard part. So I built this: it quietly prints a screen-free activity — a coloring page, a maze, a fun fact — before the day starts, then gets out of the way. Paper, not another screen.

AI for parents
How I use AI with my son
I use AI almost every day as a parent. Not to replace connection — to support it. Here are the things that actually work. Copy the prompts, they’re yours.
Turning hard things into stories he wants to hear
Car seat, getting dressed, transitions — instead of explaining, I ask for a story where the thing he resists becomes the cool thing. It works because it meets him where he is. The car seat became a pirate's special seat. He still talks about it.
✦ Use the Storybook gem for this one.
Try this prompt
"Make a short story for a 2-year-old about [hard thing]. Make it exciting and make [hard thing] the best part. His current obsession is [topic]."
Tracking illness
When my son has been sick for a few days, I log everything — symptoms, times, what helped — and ask for a summary I can share with the doctor. It helps me sound less scattered and catch patterns I would have missed.
Try this prompt
"Here's a log of my toddler's symptoms over the past 3 days: [paste log]. Summarize this clearly so I can share it with a doctor."
Printing things he loves
My son goes through obsessions — diggers, frogs, trains. I ask AI to help me find or describe images of whatever he's into so I can print them and use them for play, learning, or just decorating his space. It costs nothing and he thinks it's magic.
Try this prompt
"Give me 5 ideas for printable images related to [topic] that a 3-year-old would love. Keep it simple and colourful."
Rainy day activities
No screen time but also no plan? I describe what I have at home and ask for 3 activities using only those things. Works every time.
Try this prompt
"I have cardboard boxes, tape, and markers. Give me 3 activities for a 3-year-old that don't need anything else."
Real feedback on how I handled something
I describe a moment at home — a fight with my partner, how I reacted to a tantrum — and ask for honest, constructive feedback on what I could have done better. It doesn't judge. It just helps me think.
Try this prompt
"Here's what happened: [describe situation]. I want honest feedback on how I handled it and what I could do differently next time."
