By: erincarrasco on: Aug 4,2008 In: Babies, New MomIt’s funny how those things used to gross me out. I mean don’t get me wrong, I don’t stand up and announce that I have poo on my clothes to celebrate it and jump for joy, but I also don’t freak out that there is human feces on my clothes. When did that change? When [...]
This whole phenomenon I had hoped would pass me has sucked me in. I’ve caved. My husband www.realsoftwaredevelopment.com has been tweeting away for some time, and until this week I have successfully resisted. Thinking, who cares what I tweet, what on earth is a tweet, and why on earth would I "status" update people who [...]

By: Erin Carrasco on: Jul 16,2008 In: Advice, Mom, New MomWhat is Cradle Cap? Cradle cap is a crusting and scaling rash found on the scalps of many healthy babies.

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.
