Special Gifts

By -
Sarah Graves has received several more gifts lately. 
For Valentine's day she got a Hello Kitty doll from Lovey and Pops.  She likes to carry it around at their house. 

Aunt Ardie and Uncle Joe sent her this inchworm that is really cute.  You press down on the middle section and it flattens out and goes forward as it comes back together.  SG usually pushes it along, but it can move on its own. 

This music cube is a favorite right now.  This was a gift from friends, Burt and Carolyn.  It has different instruments on each side and it lights up when you press it.  She loves it, especially, in the car. 

This storybook came from our friends Michael and Melissa and it is so cute.   I have loved Mary Engelbreit's style for a long time and this is a cute book.  It has classic stories like the 3 little pigs and the 3 little bears.  It has nice big pictures that are great for a little one. 

We have a good time enjoying all of the fun things she has!

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
