Forgetting about your children, a sad reality.
By: erincarrasco on: Mar 10,2009 In: Advice, Current Events, Mom, New MomI was wasting time on twitter today (via tweetdeck) and came across this article on parents who forget a child in their car and the child dies. Lisa Belkin highlights the original article in the Washington post by Gene Weingarten about children who are forgotten in their car seats. Please, read both articles. It’s a thought that is horribly [...]
The person who invented Daylight Savings Time never had children
By: erincarrasco on: Mar 9,2009 In: Current Events, MomI’m convinced, it was a man who invented DST and he never had children, (sorry men, I still love you but sometimes you’re clueless.) Ok I wiki’d it and it was a man! William Willett get’s curses from me and all moms out there. On a side note about this man, his occupation as listed [...]
Valentines Ideas that are romantic and won’t break the bank

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.

By: erincarrasco on: Dec 14,2008 In: Current Events, Random thoughts, UncategorizedWhile researching my post for my Favourite Christmas songs, one video on YouTube of the John Lennon song War is over, brought me to tears. It made me think how selfish I was to worry about how many presents to buy this year, or what kind of food to prepare to impress my guests. There [...]

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.
