Saturday in the Park

By -
Yesterday was a gorgeous day in Atlanta with sunshine and temperatures in the 60's.  We, along with everyone else in this area, decided to head to the park.  Since Sarah Graves learned to walk, it has been too cold to get outside to play.  I was anxious for her to have a chance to walk around in some open space and to feel the sun on her face again.  The Red, White, and Blue park (I think it has a more official name, but that is what everyone calls it) is right down the street from our house and right next to our church. 

I'm not sure that she loved it quite as much as we hoped she would.  She wasn't unhappy at all, she just wasn't all smiles and giggles about it the way I had hoped.  She definitely loved seeing the other kids and she wasn't the least bit afraid to try out the climbing type structure and slide they have.  It was really too big for her, but she gave it her all and climbed through it with me right behind her.  I don't think she loved the slide too much, but she went down a few times.  
She definitely enjoyed the freedom to walk around. 

Swinging got some smiles from her!

I can't believe she is so big!  Where did those long legs come from?


Having fun with Daddy! 

We are looking forward to going back as the weather gets nicer and she gets bigger.  Many more fun Saturdays at the park in our future!

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
