My Lunch

By -
I decided to take my lunch to some tables we have in an outdoor courtyard rather than eating at my desk.  I was planning to look at facebook while I ate, but two guys from my department walked up looking for a table, so I suddenly had company.  You would never believe the topics of our lunch conversation, washing machines, detergents, and cleaning products.  Yep, these two guys were like a couple of old hens swapping laundry tips and ideas on stain fighters.  I chimed in since I was there, but I couldn't help but laugh at the conversation.  I rarely get together with women and chat about laundry or cleaning!
After lunch I signed myself up for the gym here.  I have been thinking that I need to do some exercise, but keep finding an excuse.  To hold myself accountable, I signed up for several sessions of personal training.  I picked a trainer that I have heard is tough.  As much as I am going to hate it, I think I need someone to push me so that I get back in the habit.  I start after our beach trip.  That means I have the rest of this week to enjoy my sedentary ways.  Exercise is a good thing, it is.  That will be my new mantra!

Frozen Party Details

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
