Little Dude’s Favourite Books

My So-Called Mommy Life Little Dude reading

For a while I was posting some of Princess Peach’s favourite toys/items that she enjoys playing with. I realized that in the almost 19 months that Little Dude has been here I haven’t shared any of his picks. The funny thing is that he doesn’t have very many favourite things that aren’t his sisters. Whatever […]

First time at the cottage and #PampersFirsts giveaway

When I met The Hubster just over 10 years ago (wow!), we joke that he wooed me over with his family’s cottage. The cottage is part of a cottage community and it’s very unique as they run their own summer camp. As the cottage is not too far from Toronto when we met we pretty […]

My little bully

My So-Called Mommy Life

About 2 months ago Little Dude bit me. Then he bit The Hubster. Then he pulled Princess Peach’s hair.  Houston we have a problem! My little sweet boy has turned into a bully.  At first it was just at home and usually out of frustration. He doesn’t have very many words so communicating with us […]

Wordless Wednesday- Me and the kids

This past Saturday, I met some friends at the Toronto Christmas Market in The Distillery District. It was my first time going and we had a blast. Here are some of my favourite pictures of me and the kids. Disclosure: I have NO affiliation with the Toronto Christmas Market. I just think it’s a fabulous […]

Sleepless in Toronto

sleepless toronto parenting My So-Called Mommy Life

As parents there are many things that we need. More hands, More time. More help. More patience. More coffee. More money. More sleep. MORE SLEEP. I need more sleep. One night (or more) of uninterrupted sleep. Where my head hits the pillow and no one bothers me until the next morning. I think this is […]

My kids watch TV and I’m ok with it!

My So-Called Mommy Life television

As  a child our television was always on. There was the news in the morning, many t.v. shows on during lunch such as my favourite Jem, Oprah on our television after school, news again during dinner time and a variety of prime time shows during the evenings. The amount of televisions in my childhood home […]

Our fall family tradition

My So-Called Mommy Life

You know when you have such a great time together as a family that you just don’t want the day to end? It’s every weekend for me but especially this morning. I wished it could have lasted way longer than it did! I guess it’s become somewhat of a tradition since Princess Peach was born […]

Wordless Wednesday- Daddy’s hockey game

The Hubster plays hockey every Sunday evening. This past Sunday I took both kids to watch his game. Princess Peach has gone to many games but this past week was Little Dude’s first ever hockey game and first time watching his daddy play! He wouldn’t go near The Hubster with his helmet on.

To create the next generation

When Princess Peach was 2.5 months old we had her baby naming at our synagogue. This meant that she officially received her Hebrew name, which if you were wondering is Mira Liba named after her great-great uncle and great-great aunt. After she received her Hebrew name our Rabbi made a little speech to us, as […]

Help runny noses with Boogie Wipes

Boogie Wipes My So-Called Mommy Life

September has been a very busy month for our house! The Hubster went back to teaching, Princess Peach started the nursery school program at her daycare and Little Dude started daycare. I absolutely love daycare for so many reasons but there is one thing about daycare that I don’t like- the germs.No matter how clean […]
