Happy 4th Birthday Everett!
My youngest baby turns 4 today and I’ve definitely had a good cry over this fact. We are well beyond infancy, over a year past the last time he nursed, and I can’t recall the last time we was worn in a carrier. He still says “but I only 3” when it comes time for […]
The Teen in 10B
I’m constantly worried that I’m screwing my kids up for life, and not in the good way. As a child from a dysfunctional home I pride myself in the positives that came from it- like knowing a lot about drug culture (but never trying them because I had the best “say no to drugs” commercial […]
…and a Kim update too! Family, Fitness, Home, and BlogU
No, I’m not making a pregnancy announcement like Lara did yesterday. However, I realized I haven’t given a good “random stuff” update in a while about my family and our happenings. The biggest update is that my oldest son is just about to graduate from Pre-K this month and will start Kindergarten at a charter school […]
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 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 […]
Technology Keeps Our Family Together
For all the times I curse the invention of the smart phone and the 24/7 connectedness that threatens to swallow my life, I’m also just as thankful that it exists. Both of my children were born in a state that was a solid 12 hour drive from our closest relatives. In the early days we […]
