Sick, snowy, and snuggly

By -
Sunday morning Sarah Graves woke up very early with a cold. She has been quite pitiful with a nose that pours, cheeks and nose are bright red, and hair that is crazy. My usually very busy baby suddenly wants to be rocked and snuggled. If I put her down, she will stand at my leg crying with her arms up. It makes my heart break, so she has been held a lot. Nursing is a big comfort to her, so I let her go as long as she likes.
I hate it that she is sick, but I love all the cuddly time with her. She woke up early again this morning and came to our bed where she nursed and snuggled up next to me for a couple of hours. I cling to these sweet moments when she is peaceful against me and sleeping softly.
Yesterday evening the snow began to fall and it is gorgeous. We have several inches and it is beautiful, light and fluffy. I was amazed how bright the sky was with the reflection from all the snow. I took a few pictures while it was coming down last night. So pretty. It makes me wish I was going skiing again.






My office isn't opening today, so we are having an easy day at home. I am trying to get a little work done during her naps. I will post some more pictures later.

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!

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
