Office Baby Shower

By -
My team at work was kind enough to give me a baby shower today. We had some yummy cupcakes and icecream and a chance to share my excitement with the people that I spend a lot of time with each day.  Some shared advice with me; most of it more humorous than practical. 
They were so generous with the gifts. I was so excited that we started putting things together as soon as I got home.  It was a little like Christmas for us!  I had to take some pictures to show what nice things they picked out for us.
The team went together to get us the high chair, pack'n play, diaper genie, jumper, and bouncy seat.  I can't believe that they gave us all of those things!  I was completely shocked. 








My co-worker David was so thoughtful and gave us the Baby Bjourn.  He and his wife enjoyed using it with their son and he thought it might be something that we would appreciate.  Yes, we do, very much!  Aaron was very excited as this was one baby item that he was interested in getting.  We borrowed the neighbor's baby for the photo. Just kidding!  It's actually one of my beloved dolls that
I have been holding onto for when I had kids. 

Another co-worker, Michael, and his daughter picked out this outfit for us.  I love how the little shirt has 3 doggies appliqued on it and it has the look of being layered like adult clothes!  I also can't get over how tiny these pants are!  She is going to be so little!
I never expected to have so many people come together to help us prepare for our baby.  I am truly grateful.

Frozen Party Details

Like most girls her age, Sarah Graves LOVES Frozen and has known for quite some time that she wanted a Frozen birthday party. I was so excited when I saw this invitation on Etsy and she loved it too! 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
