Rain, Rain Go Away...

By -
We have had so much rain here lately that even I was longing to see the sunshine!  It finally came out yesterday and I was eager to get outside and enjoy it.  Lucy was getting cabin fever too, so I wanted to get her out for a walk.  Aaron was willing to come with us and we headed off as soon as I got home.  It's still pretty humid outside, but it was good to be out and not looking for cover from the rain!
I have definitely noticed that I get winded more quickly than usual.  The route that I like to walk has a lot of hills and I was breathing hard as we went up.  I have read that exercise and the extra blood circulation is good for baby.  Hopefully, she appreciated it!  Lucy was panting hard by the time we made it home, but she was smiling all the way!  (In case you haven't met Lucy, she is one of those dogs that really can smile and it just delights me to see it!)
Hopefully the drier conditions will stick around, but I think more rain is in the forecast fo the weekend.

Frozen Party Details

It reminded me of an infographic. The Frozen theme was a lot of fun! There were so many things to choose from that I took to pinterest and eventually decided on the ideas that I would use for this party. I found this great Arendelle banner here on Pinterest I was so grateful that my sister did a snowflake Christmas and had tons of snowflake ornaments to hang as decorations! This party theme was a lot of fun to plan the food. Kristoff's ice cubes were made from Jell-o with an ombre effect. I found the recipe here on Pinterest. I doubled the recipe to make a 13x9 size pan of it and I made 2 13x9 pans of it. The made plenty of "ice cubes" to fill 35 cups. They turned out really cute! My parents made this Elsa cake and did a fabulous job

Cloth vs. Disposable

By -
We have mostly been planning to do disposable diapers because I felt that cloth would just be too much work when I go back to work.  Then, we saw these diapers called happy heiny's ( www.happyheinys.com ).  These looked much different than what I envisioned cloth diapers to look like.  Mom used cloth diapers with me and Jeanne', so she felt totally up for using them while Sarah Graves is at her house.  I started looking into the cost comparison and depending on what type of cloth diapers you buy, you can save anywhere from $1200 - $1700.  That is pretty attractive, not to mention knowing that you aren't filling up a landfill somewhere.  There are lots of different varieties of cloth diapers out there, but the ones that seem to be a good investment and user friendly are diapers that have snap closures, with a pocket for an insert to absorb the contents, and they are one size that adjusts as your baby grows from a newborn up to 35 pounds.  You can also purchase the traditio
