Easter Dinner

By -
I made lunch for us on Sunday after church. Mom and Dad were there as well as our family friends, Ms. Janan and Ms. Pauline. I picked up the cutesy bunny breads at a local bakery and just loved how they looked on the table.








I didn't get any pictures of the meal itself, but we had a good ham from Honey Baked Ham, sweet potato casserole, Emeril's mac'n cheese, my favorite salad with strawberries, garlic rolls, and for dessert we had several choices. Mom made strawberry pie, Ms. Janan made a strawberry cake, Aaron made vanilla ice cream, and I made cupcakes with Pioneer Woman's recipe for the tastiest frosting I have ever had. It is always a delicious meal when you have more desserts than side dishes! It was a really nice afternoon spent lingering at the table enjoying each other's company.

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
