The Mommy Blog Written by a Real Mom
A friend sent this to me this morning on Email and it’s just so wonderful, I thought I would share it with you. Every time you give up on something, you give up on yourself. Imagine your life as this man.
Thanks to Sonya for passing this on!
Erin Carrasco (Real Tech Mom) is a mom of a beautiful baby boy born in March. She also looks after her other two kids (Mia and Keely, her two cats) and her wonderful husband of four years. It has taken some time getting used to not being at home every day, but being a mom is a different type of job and I admire the moms who get to be with their kids every day!
Moms like me know that just because everyone says you should do it, or not do it does not make it set in stone. For us dinner is never the same time every night and because of my husband’s job, our lives are ruled by overtime, extra overtime, travel and the crack blackberry. I am not only a mom, I’m a woman and human being. Believe it or not I do enjoy a lot more than just being a mom! Some of my passions are a little geeky but still they’re me none the less.

After a horrible weak of painful physio and scans at the hospital, this was humbling and inspiring. Thank you so much for posting this.
While I was getting my scans done, I learned that SickKids needs crib mattresses desperately because the old ones contribute to skin breakdown. I felt ashamed because here I was feeling sorry for myself. So, I donated.
If you’re interested in more info on how you can help, either by blogging about the cause or by donating, here’s the link: http://www.savvymom.ca/index.php/sickkids/
Again thank you and take care,
