New baby proofing changes electrical code
By: erincarrasco on: Jan 26,2009 In: Advice, Babies, Current EventsI was reading the paper today when I came across an interesting article about baby proofing your electrical outlets in new homes. It made me think of LipZips wordless Wednesday. Which refer to these:
Here’s what the new code would require:
“The updated code requires new homes to have tamper-resistant receptacles, designed to prevent children from inserting [...]
It’s beginning to look at lot like Winter.
By: erincarrasco on: Nov 8,2008 In: Babies, Current Events, Mom, New Mom, Random thoughts, Uncategorized, VideosThoughts of Christmas entered my mind this morning at around 4:32 A.M. as I looked out my front window to see the lawns and streets covered in a thick layer of fresh snow! Now for all of you who do not know where Winnipeg is, you can appreciate that it’s nickname across Canada is Winterpeg. [...]
When we were expecting, we were one of the few who decided to not find out if it was a boy or a girl. I remember going for my ultrasound at the hospital at around 21 weeks and being so curious but not looking in the “area” that i was supposed to.
It became a big [...]

Halloween is one of my favourite times of the year! Everyone get’s dressed up and little kids look SOOO cute in their outfits!
I always have gone all out decorating our house for Halloween, and year after year I only get about 10 kids. It’s sad really. I also dress up, the Cat in the Hat [...]
Since being at home my vocabulary and topic of interests has drastically narrowed.
Gone are the days where I was someone interesting to talk to. Now my idea of a good conversation is not one that is intellectually stimulating but one that revolves around children.
I told myself that I was not going to be one of [...]
Yes that’s poo on my clothes…but my son is still cute.
By: erincarrasco on: Aug 4,2008 In: Babies, New MomIt’s funny how those things used to gross me out.

About Erin Carrasco
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.
