Raising Big Kids and Making Lattes
Hey. It’s been a while. When your babies turn into big kids time flies! These days you’re going to find a lot less of me online through Dirty Diaper Laundry; I’ve been quiet there for lots of reasons. It probably started after a very creepy/messed up/bizarre experience with a reader that opened my eyes to being an […]
NC New Home Tour
[metaslider id=20291] Many terrible things happened in 2016. In fact, a garbage fire is still the most accurate description I can think of for the year overall. The delay of our new home in North Carolina was one of those things but certainly not the biggest. We moved from the home we lovingly fixed up […]
A Final Rosas Home Tour- 2016
4 years and 1 month ago our family purchased our home in Florida after an excruciating 6 month wait. For those of you who don’t know or don’t remember, we embarked on the journey of a short sale; this process can take weeks or months and for us, we were in the latter. The location […]
Big Changes for the Rosas Family
Consider this an official announcement that my family and I are moving back to Charlotte, NC!!! Ever since we left NC nearly 10 years ago our hope has been that one day we would make it back. Now it’s happening! I grew up in NC and my husband and I met in college at […]
Million Dollar Diapers
Today I got to attend the annual “Muffins with Mom” at my youngest son’s pre-school. Every year all the mothers are treated to handmade wearables (think paper plate hats and matchbox lockets covered in rhinestones.) The children share their gifts with the mothers and enjoy a special treat. It’s a wonderfully put together affair each […]
Hey Mama, Don’t Stop The Music
Occasionally I feel the need to write something unrelated to diapering, in this case, about my devotion to the Smashing Pumpkins and music. If nothing else, let this remind you that mothers deserve it all, even a chance to throw elbows in the pit. Don’t let the music stop, mamas. It’s true that your […]
The Great American Teach-In “Cloth Diaper Laundry” Session
Each year my son’s school holds The Great American Teach-In event- it’s the new PC version of “Career Day” since it also allows parents/caregivers without employment to attend and share about their hobbies too. I know that kids love when the firefighters/policemen/doctors come in to explain their exciting jobs but I decided I should go […]
Looking Ahead to 2016 for Giving Diapers, Giving Hope
When you wear many hats sometimes you aren’t sure where to post your thoughts- all of my worlds mesh together and connect along the common theme of cloth diapering and my passion for helping families use them. DDL is my blog, it’s where I earn my income and where I can share my own thoughts. […]
Happy 5th Birthday Everett!
A solid 7 days late but it’s better than never! Longtime readers of DDL know that my sons each get a special video recapping their year for their birthday and a special photo. Each video takes on average 12+ hours to edit, usually because I stare at the screen and push clips around until finally […]
