Getting Crunchy

By -
So the other night I am looking at a website for cloth diapers and this is the conversation that Aaron and I had:
Me: I guess a lot of granola kind of people cloth diaper because these sites have a lot of natural products

Aaron: Sweetie, I think you are kind of crunchy.

Me: I don't really think of myself that way.

Aaron: It happened about the time you got pregnant and got into natural childbirth, breastfeeding, making baby wipes, cloth diapering, and who knows what's next.

Me: It must have been that DVD that YOU brought home, The Business of Being Born

Ha ha! Nothing wrong with being a little crunchy. The idea of treading lightly on this earth is becoming more important than ever. Keep up the good parenting AND good earth-living.

FYI - sometimes cloth diapers aren't necessarily more earth friendly. I went to a talk once given by the Union of Concerned Scientists. They discussed the environmental footprint some of our choices have. A good read on that subject is "The Consumer's Guide to Effective Environmental Choices". Things such as "paper vs plastic", "cloth vs disposable diapers" are among the subjects discussed.
Hope the Caldwell Family is happy and healthy!!

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

Sarah Graves loves baking, watching baking shows, and has lots of ideas about cake decorating. She wanted to decorate her cake herself and made it a team effort with Lovie.  She was very proud of the finished product and learned that piping icing isn't as easy as it looks! For her party, friends went ice skating then came back to our house for food and cake! This guy we referred to as "Cat Man" skated around with his cat and at time with hold the cat under its front legs just above the ice and let it sway as he skated! The cat did not seem to mind...it sure did catch our attention! Pierced ears mean fun earrings! Aunt Lexie definitely picked fun ones with these rubber chickens! So many people love this sweet girl and showed up to celebrate her!
