2 year blogiversary!!!

  On May 8, 2012 at 4:03 pm I pushed publish and my first blog entry on My So-Called Mommy Life went live! I really wasn’t sure who was going to read my post or any subsequent posts that I wrote. I wanted to document my life with Princess Peach and share wonderful things with […]

5 chores your toddler can do

Princess Peach has been into “helping” me around the house these days. Instead of saying “no” and shooing her away I’ve enlisted her help. Obviously at 2.5 years old I can’t get her to cook me dinner (yet) although I’m sure if I asked her to she totally would. By having Princess Peach’s help it […]

A test of patience

The last 7.5 weeks have been trying to say the least. Little Dude is going through a rough patch that we just can’t seem to shake. The current state of affairs is that he needs to literally be attached to me ALL day. If he’s not in my arms he’s screaming hysterically. And he DOES.NOT.STOP! […]

Today, April 2nd is World Autism Awareness Day. It’s important to bring awareness to autism everyday not just once a year. The most recent stats are that 1 in every 68 kids will be diagnosed with autism. The last 10 years of my life has been devoted to helping children with autism and their families. […]

When parents stop trusting their gut and turn to Facebook groups

When I had Princess Peach 2.5 years ago, I joined a few Facebook groups about parenting. The intent of these groups was to create a community of parents in similar situations who can relate to each other. We are all going through it together so someone must understand, right? Sure, they all have some overriding […]

Princess Peach, Passover Break and Netflix #StreamTeam

netflix family fest stream team

Unlike most kids, Princess Peach wasn’t on break two weeks ago. The Hubster was off as he’s a teacher but she had regular school. Being a student at a Jewish school means that you get Passover break instead of the typical March/Spring Break. On a side note, having a kid in school and a husband […]

10 motivational quotes for parents

Monday, Monday. I’m sure most parents of school-aged children will be clapping, cheering, doing a happy dance when your child returns to the classroom today at 9am! But if you are like me, with two littles at home you may need a Monday morning pick-me-up. Sometimes that ginormous mug of coffee just doesn’t cut it […]

Small changes that make a big difference #SavingsMadeSimple #pgmom

I was put to the test in February with the Family Financial Challenge and learned a lot! By following Gail Vaz Oxlade’s advice from her book, Money Rules, I was able to tweak our spending habits. We may not have been the best on living on cash. I actually found it nearly impossible. How was […]
