In Canada we have a resource called MotherRisk, generally it’s a resource that you can contact to inquire about medical questions you have during pregnancy and beyond. So if you were unsure as to what types of drugs [...]
Sunscreen: Why it’s not safe for babies
By: erincarrasco on: Jul 30,2008 In: Babies, Health and FitnessThe title should really be, why it’s not safe for anyone. I was cruising some message boards a few nights ago and found out why Sunscreen is not safe for babies. Let’s see, Number one, It’s never been tested on babies under 6 months.

I’ve bought my share of things from infomercials over the years and admittedly most have gathered dust around my house.

Tweightloss: Day One!
By: erincarrasco on: Jul 28,2008 In: Health and FitnessSo over the next twelve week’s Monday’s will be “weigh in” days. My goal is to lose 30 lbs over all, but certainly not in the next 12 weeks.

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.
