(breaks into song) “it’s the most wonderful time of the year!” And no I’m not talking about just Christmas itself…i’m talking about Starbucks Christmas! Yes it’s that time of year already and once again Starbucks is displaying the wonderful red cups and Christmas schwag. I love this time of year, the peppermint mocha’s, the gingerbread [...]

Lest we forget

In: Current Events, Lingo

In Canada November 11th is known as remembrance day. In the united States it’s Veterans day.. many countries observe the end of world war one in some way at 11 am.  This is because WW1 ended the eleventh day of the eleventh month at the eleventh hour when Germany signs an armistice agreement with the [...]

Thoughts 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.  [...]

The lost art of Christmas Cards

In: Current Events, Product Reviews

Its going to be my son’s first Christmas this year. The Christmas lights are already up and turned on. I love Christmas, I love the lights, the cheesy music, I love sitting in the dark with my hubby and looking at our Christmas lights. But I hate doing Christmas Cards. I should correct myself, I [...]

Happy Halloween!

In: Babies, Current Events, Mom, Random thoughts

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 [...]

Ok so maybe not. But how cool would it be to have twins that came out varying degree’s of colour? Well on July 11th a German couple gave birth to two baby boys, one white, and one black. The odd’s are technically two in a million, isn’t that crazy? Experts say that because mom is [...]

So with the never ending debate of should I vaccinate my children (that will be another posting at a later date) and why, I’ve come across this neat little tool that my husband sent to me. Do you want to know the latest diseases that are being reported around the world, let alone in your [...]

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.
