A Good Weekend

By -
Funny how my definition of a good weekend has changed. Good weekends don't necessarily mean that we did hugely exciting things, but that our sweet girl was in a good mood and we were able to enjoy her company.  This was one of those weekends; she was in a good mood most of the time and was a joy to be with.  Saturday we ran errands and enjoyed dinner out with my family and she didn't seem to mind the long day and constant barrage of things to see and hear.  She managed to take a few naps, some were on the go in her car seat and some in her crib.  By the time we left dinner she was worn out and quickly went to sleep on the ride home.  It's hard work being as cute as she was.
Sunday was also wonderful.  For the first time we were able to stay in the service the whole time at church.  She was tired, needed a nap, and wouldn't take one during church, but she remained pleasant the whole time.  She fell asleep the moment we got her in the car and slept on for a while in the grocery store. 
I think we were both sad to put her to sleep last night and wished that our good time could go on longer.

Mick and I feel like that every time a weekend ends! Even when Emily isn't in a great mood and we're both sleep deprived, all it takes is one of her sweet smiles to make us wish we had an endless supply of back-to-back weekends :).

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
