The Mommy Blog Written by a Real Mom
Happy New Year to all of my readers (if there are any left!) I have sooo neglected this blog of mine over the holidays. But have no fear, I’m back from blog vacation! I have enjoyed reading all of the blogs of the people who haven’t gone on vacation over the holidays.

Stay tuned for my failed attempt at taking an imprint of my son’s hand for my husbands birthday. If any of you have ever done it, you will understand that not just one person can do it! What a mess!
Oh and a little update about our Sponsor Child! We got a little package with his photo and how to contact him so I’m looking forward to writing a letter (my mother in law said she’d translate it for us) and sending him a little something! Does anyone have any idea’s? It has to fit in a 6X9 envelope, be flat, and it can’t be money.
So to all of you, have a fantastic weekend, I’ll be back on Monday!
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.

How flat is flat? Could you squeeze a coloring book and some crayons in? Oh wait, he’s only Dom’s age, right? I guess some other kind of little book? Cody doesn’t have much that is flat.

We always sent balloons to our sponsor kids. Also stickers are always fun.

Thanks ladies! I will be for sure sending something like that, he’s three and a half so maybe something fun like stickers and a picture book or something.

Oh Ok, 3 1/2 is a little easier to think of flat things. I thought he was closer to Dom’s age. Stickers for sure I bet he’d like, good idea Trisha.
