When you realize your kids are growing up.

Whether you notice the big things like: sitting up, crawling, walking, talking or being potty trained, there are little things along the way that make you step back and say, wow, he/she’s not a baby anymore. I notice this the most when I see pictures of my son. We recently went to sears to get [...]

What did you want to buy with your first paycheck?

erincarrasco — Fri, 21 May 2010 02:33:47 +0000

I went to the supermarket today and I went down the “junk” isle with cookies, pudding and “fruit” snacks. I remember as a child, my mom NEVER if ever bought fruit snacks, fruit roll ups etc. But what I do remember is that there were so many varieties that you could pick between cherry, strawberry [...]

Happy Mother’s Day

Mother’s day for me has become more important but not for the reason you would think. I finally realize what it means to be a mother. And because of that, it makes me appreciate the celebration that is Mother’s day. So while Mother’s day is important to me, it’s more important to me that I [...]

Who’s the crazy lady in the car, oh wait it’s mom.

As a mom, sometimes we do things to make our children happy without so much as looking to see who is staring at us. I do this often when I’m in the car. My son’s car seat is directly behind my seat in our car, so I can only look at him in the rear [...]

So I’m not a baker, I never claimed to be. I can cook but I hate baking. But each year i told myself that I would make a cake for my son, and this year it started out with me thinking to do a character from Monster’s Inc. I was googleing different options for this [...]

Owning the Podium

Oh the Olympics. You know I must admit, I love watching our Country win. Never have I felt more proud to be Canadian-aside from the opening ceremonies. Here is a shot of the medal standings as of Feb 26 2010: There has been a big controversy about Canada owning the podium, but honestly looking at [...]

Breaking up is hard to do.

erincarrasco — Fri, 26 Feb 2010 03:17:00 +0000

Breaking up with a significant other is hard, breaking up with your boss when you quit can kind of feel the same. You know when you try to break up with someone you don’t want to hurt them, lead them on or make them feel bad. At least not in healthy relationships. Recently I left [...]

My appologies to the Emo and/or Cutter World

erincarrasco — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 22:07:55 +0000

Let me keep you up to date as to why i’m writing this. Almost one year ago I wrote a post questioning what on earth Emo’s and Cutter’s were and I’ve been enlightened, OVER and OVER again. For some reason my mommy blog has been bombarded by people (each in their own way) telling me [...]
