Babies in Bloom Baby Fest Recap
This past weekend I had the pleasure of attending and speaking at the Babies in Bloom Baby Fest in Northern California, about an hour from San Diego. The entire experience was wonderful and I was having so much fun and living in the moment so intensely that I found myself forgetting to use my camera […]
When all else fails, blog about cats! Meet our adopted kitties, Marilyn and Monroe.
As I juggle a lot of different projects outside of the blog itself I find it harder to devote the mental energy and time to get a good post up for you guys! So… let’s talk about cats, man. About 3 weeks ago we welcomed two cats to our family. Inspired by an episode of […]
A look at “Life After Diapers”
It has been about 8 months since Everett potty trained. This time in my life can now be referred to as “AD.” I suppose the previous 5 years were “DD” and pre-kids my life was “BD.” Life “BD” is nothing like “DD.” Even though there aren’t diapers to wash, there is still plenty of other […]
Rosas Family Christmas 2013- The Video
Since 2010 I have made a video of our Christmas mornings as a family. If you read the blog regularly you know that I take on the role of “historian” for our family, doing most of the photography and video. Since most people don’t go back to watch the long footage of their videos I […]
The Christmas card that almost wasn’t- featuring my son the axe murderer
I tend to go to extremes when doing certain things. Christmas is one of those things! I go way overboard for the Elf on the Shelf, I deck the halls as much as I can afford to, and I make sure my Christmas Card is awesome even though our list is rather short. When thinking […]
Happy 5th Birthday, Fletcher!
I’m a day early on this one but I’m having a hard time waiting! Fletcher, my first born, is 5. This boy continues to amaze me in every way- his sense of humor, intelligence, empathy, and dance moves rival that of a boy much older. He had a lot of firsts this year including his […]
Happy 3rd Birthday Everett!
The youngest member of our family, Everett, is the big 3 today! I can’t believe it either. He graduated from diapers to undies and recently weaned after he decided a T-Rex was cooler than boobs. He has a little personality all his own. Unlike his older brother, Everett is more reserved and doesn’t open up […]
To Grandmother’s House We Go!
Today we are off to Oma’s house in North Carolina for a quick visit. It’s been about six months since our last trip so we are all excited to see family and friends for a few days. That also means I’ll be away from my computer and taking a blog break until next week. I’m […]
The Family That Games Together…
Fletcher, my soon to be 5 year old, was my first baby. He is still my cuddler and his happiest moments are always when he lays his head on my stomach. He says “I love your tummy, mommy.” and lays there completely content. There are times when he is being difficult and we are both […]
