First Plane Ride

By -
Friday we left after work flying to Baton Rouge for a family reunion and a chance to see more family and friends.  Sarah Graves' first plane ride went pretty well.  As you can see from the picture, she was pretty distracted by the people and a little rambunctious.  Only one time did she really start to cry and the lady behind us started entertaining her with peek-a-boo and that calmed her down.  I think she did pretty well considering it's a small space and not much room to get down and play (what she really wanted to do the entire time).  I nursed her during take off and her ears didn't seem to bother her at all. 
The return flight was pretty smooth and she nursed some and hung out some.  Again, she got a little impatient with having to be held, but we had toys to distract her.  The iPad was really helpful for distracting her! 
She will be flying again in 2 weeks, but I'm not as nervous now that we have done it once!

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
