Welcome to The House of Ros

 

We’re Nina and Aleksy — a London-based family of four sharing real life as it is.

We’re parents to two children with a big age gap (11 and 2), and we became mum and dad at 19. That means we’ve grown up alongside our kids — learning about life, parenting and adulthood all at the same time.

​

Our Story

 

Becoming parents at 19 shaped everything.

We were young. We were still figuring ourselves out. And at the same time, we were learning how to raise a child.

It wasn’t the typical path, but it became our path.

Over the years, we’ve built our life together in London — learning through experience, making mistakes, figuring things out the hard way and growing as a family.

We don’t claim to have had it all mapped out.

We still don’t.

But we’re proud of the life we’ve built.

​

Life With a Big Age Gap

 

Having children at very different stages gives us a unique view of family life.

One foot in the world of pre-teens.
The other in toddler chaos.

It’s school runs and sleepless nights. Independence and nappies. Big conversations and tiny shoes.

It’s busy, loud, unpredictable — and very real.

​

What You’ll Find Here

 

On The House of Ros, we share:

• Parenting with a big age gap
• Family travel and holidays
• Things to do in London and family-friendly places
• Honest everyday life
• Practical things that have actually worked for us

No filters. No pretending.

Just real experiences from a real family figuring it out as we go.

​

Why We Share

 

This blog isn’t about perfection.

It’s about documenting our journey — the wins, the challenges, the lessons we’ve learned and the moments in between.

If something we share helps another parent, another young couple, or another family navigating daily life, then it’s worth it.

We’re building this space as we grow.

One story at a time.
