It all started with a simple post on Nextdoor
A few years ago, life as I knew it changed completely. I became a single parent, navigating an entirely new reality while trying to keep everything together for my daughter, Laya, who was in her tween years. Balancing work, school, and home felt overwhelming, and no matter how hard I tried, I was constantly playing catch-up. The mental load was exhausting, and I knew I needed help. Desperate for a way to bring some structure into our lives, I turned to my local Nextdoor community, hoping someone had found an app that could make single parenting just a little bit easier.
I found apps for everything—groceries, ride-sharing, even organizing my closet. But when it came to managing family life as a whole? Nothing. Crickets. Sure, there were apps for specific tasks, but expecting parents to juggle ten different apps just to keep a household running? That wasn’t a solution—it was another headache.
I felt betrayed: I have been in tech for my whole adult like and why hasn't tech stepped up for parents like us?
That’s when I teamed up with Reeves Xavier, a technology and business innovator who shared the same vision. As a technologist, Reeves had long been passionate about using technology to solve real-world problems. Together, we set out to create S’moresUp—an all-in-one family management system that would empower parents, teach kids responsibility, and simplify everyday routines.
From countless surveys and endless late-night research, we learned two things:
- Parenting is beautifully complex, and there isn't a one-size-fits-all answer
- As parents, we always have our kids' best interests at heart and want the best for them.
That's the heart behind S’moresUp.
We created an all-in-one space for everything: chore tracking, rewards, scheduling, and even connecting with other parents. Our mission? To simplify modern parenting while empowering kids with essential life skills. I'm thrilled to say, not only has this been a game-changer for my family, but thousands have also joined our S’moresUp community.
Want to be part of the movement that puts family first in this tech-savvy era? Dive in with us. Find S’moresUp on the Apple AppStore, Google Play, and Amazon AppStore.
Here's to navigating the joys of parenting, together.
With love,
Priya Rajendran, Your Fellow Mom & S’moresUp Creator.
