That Time I Flashed a Male Nurse
There really isn’t a great way to write a post about your 2.5 year old son being admitted to the hospital and it is even harder to title. It all started last Sunday (7 days ago) when Everett started screaming in pain at about 1 am. He was awake most of the night crying out […]
The Joy of a Tire Swing
My dream finally came true a few days ago. No, I didn’t win the lottery or get a full night of sleep. My husband put up a tire swing for me the kids. There is just something about a tire swing that personifies childhood; judging by the fun my boys had there is a good […]
Oops! I forgot to wean my 2 year old.
Everett’s 2nd birthday came and went and our nursing relationship has remained the same. He is still nursing and I am still letting him. To be honest I didn’t have plans to wean him at any certain age but it was my goal to make it to 2 with him. I wouldn’t have kept him […]
The newest trend in sleep: Sibling Bed Sharing.
I may have lied in the title. As far as I know sibling bed sharing isn’t a trend. It is however trending in the Rosas household and I’m getting excited about what this new bedtime tactic has afforded us: drama free bed time! It all started last week. My youngest son Everett decided that he […]
Flexing my Photography Muscles
It was almost a year ago that I decided to learn how to use my DSLR in Manual mode. Manual shooting requires that you set all of your own settings like the ISO, Aperture, and Shutter Speed. You can also get more in depth and change your white balance. Even after a year I am […]
Overly Attached Toddler
My son just turned two years old and he is a toddler through and through. Demanding, stubborn, dangerous, clingy, and cuddly. At this age they aren’t sure whether they want to be independent or stuck to you like glue. So instead they have bi-polar mood swings that would make even Sybil envious. One minute they […]
Happy 2nd Birthday Everett!
There is no way it has been 2 years since Everett joined our family. With two children now Everett’s life has gone by at warp speed. Before he was born I was terrified that I wouldn’t be able to love him as much as his brother. Now I don’t remember life without him. Everett has […]
A toilet, a dresser, a mirror, and a clean garage walk into a bar…
When you can’t think of a title and you are exhausted from working around the house for weeks on end and entertaining guests for a week you just start talking gibberish. I thought I would update everyone on the progress of the many projects we are juggling around the home. This also explains why I’ve […]
Memorial Day Weekend Wrap-Up in Pictures
Steven flew in to spend the long weekend with us on Friday and we surprised him inside of the airport. Saturday we spent the morning at Discovery Place in Huntersville. The water play area was impressive. The kid’s favorite exhibit was the miniature cafe. Fletcher served Daddy delicious meals. Everett cuddling at the cook-out. Sunday […]
1 Day Longer- We’ve been breastfeeding for 18 months and 6 days- but who’s counting?
Everett has been breastfeeding for 18 months and 6 days. My first son Fletcher weaned at 18 months and 5 days old. I can still vividly remember the moment I realized he would never nurse again. We were rocking together in the glider and each night I would nurse him while doing so to get […]
