About Us | Mary and Martin

Raising kids has never been a straight path—it’s more like a winding trail with sudden forks, unexpected potholes, and the occasional breathtaking view. We get it, because we’ve been walking it too. At MaryandMartin.com, we’re here to walk it with you. Whether you’re wrangling toddlers off tablets or navigating the emotional fog of sending your firstborn off to college, our purpose is to help unpack the challenges and celebrate the wins on this modern parenting journey.

We started Mary and Martin not because we had all the answers, but because we knew the questions were too big to face alone. As screens became staples in every room and independence started looking more like silence than freedom, we realized a lot of parents were asking the same things we were: How do I guide, not control? How do I teach balance in a world that rarely stops spinning? How do I stay connected without hovering?

This space brings together thoughtful, experience-backed content for today’s parents—from managing screen time without meltdowns, to making sense of teenage tech habits, to helping your college-bound kid carry confidence out the door with their suitcase. It’s all part of the same tapestry: parenting through growth, change, and the push-pull of letting go while always being there.

We’re a team of writers, educators, and (of course) parents, driven by one truth: parenting doesn’t come with a manual, but it shouldn’t feel like guesswork either. Think of us as your calm corner of the internet—a place where you can get guidance without judgment, stories without sugarcoating, and resources that respect your family’s unique rhythm.

Thanks for stopping by. Pull up a chair, explore a topic, and stay as long as you like—we’re glad you’re here.
