Oakgrove Methodist Consignment Sale

By -
No, it's not Christmas yet!  On Friday there was a really big consignment sale that I have heard a lot about, but hadn't had the chance to go before.  Dad came over and took Sarah Graves and me to it and it was as big as everyone had said.  There were toys, books, clothes, and baby equipment.  We had a lot of fun picking out toys, books, dvds, and puzzles for Sarah Graves to play with when she gets a little older.  I did find a great mirror for tummy time and another toy that lights up and plays music that caught her attention. 
Dad and I also had fun picking out some Spring/Summer clothes for her.  I just hope that we guessed her size correctly!  I'm still unsure how much to expect her to grow in a few months time. 
This sale is so well organized and the items are really nice quality and have all the pieces there with them.  I will try to go back for the Fall sale in September. 
I am really lucky to have a Dad who is willing to take time out of his day to go with me, and especially lucky to have a Dad who enjoys shopping!

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
