Valentines Ideas that are romantic and won’t break the bank
By: erincarrasco on: Feb 13,2009 In: Advice, Current Events, Random thoughtsForget paying over 60$ for roses for Valentines day for your sweetie! I’m not a woman who loves flowers, to me, yes they’re pretty… but they die! Plus at this time of year they’re ridiculously expensive. But keep in mind fella’s that there are women out there who love flowers and expect flowers so if [...]
Now that we have a son, I thought it would be nice if he “made” something for his daddy on his birthday. I had a wonderful Idea while i was at Walmart in the baby section (of all places, don’t even get me started on how much I hate Walmart.) I saw a baby hand [...]
While some people have been planning this day for months now, I find myself procrastinating. Do I not want him to be one? No.. But I’m just not keen on throwing a huge bash for a one year old. Yes i’m the granola mother who makes all her food for her baby–although I think that [...]
Sponsoring a Child
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.

My Clark Griswald Christmas tree
By: erincarrasco on: Dec 7,2008 In: Random thoughtsSince my husband and I have lived together (yes we lived in sin for 3 years) we have always had a fake Christmas tree. Our first tree looked like this, but ever so less tasteful: He grew up with fake trees as his parents run a daycare, so to him this fake Christmas tree [...]
The Invisible Mom
By: erincarrasco on: Nov 29,2008 In: Forward of the Month, Mom, New Mom, Random thoughtsA dear friend of mine posted this on a site I created. Thank you Sonya, this is a wonderful tribute to mothers everywhere. I feel sometimes that I’m being taken for granted, sometimes stepped on and often invisible. No one sees how much time Stay at Home Mom’s spend interacting with our children, how many [...]
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.
