Party Invitation

By -
I have been working hard to get an invitation ready for Sarah Graves' birthday and I finally had it done on Saturday night.  Then, the snow hit.  At first, I thought it wouldn't be a big deal and we would mail them out on Tuesday.  Now it's Wednesday and we really haven't been able to leave.  Aaron just made it up our street and has been able to see the conditions of the roads in the area.  The overpass that we use as one way to get to and from our neighborhood is totally iced over and the intersection I go through to get to work he said is a mess with only one lane operational. 
Aaron is a good Dad and despite the conditions of the roads (and due to his cabin fever) he is trying to get to the post office to get Sarah Graves' birthday invites in the mail.  Let's hope that he is successful! 
Here's a peak at her invite!  I think she looks pretty cute in her first birthday outfit that Ms. Margaret Ann made her. 


I have been working on plans for her party, which I know is more for me than it is for her.  I think she will enjoy her first taste of cake!

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
