Our Fun Day Out!

By -
After a three hour nap we headed to Nordstrom's to find a new pair of sandals.  The first pair we bought at Stride Rite just haven't worked out, so we decided to get a new pair.  SG learned the thrill of shopping in stores like Nordstrom's where they have a coloring station, an aquarium, and give you a balloon just for shopping!  One new pair of better fitting sandals later and we were on our way to the Georgia Aquarium.

We have been before, but it has been a while and Sarah Graves is so much bigger now!  We saw some big fish like this guy.

We walked in awe of all the fish around us.



We saw the dolphins that are new to the aquarium.  We would like to see the show, but know that Sarah Graves just isn't ready for that. 
We got super-excited and began swishing our head when we saw the penguins! I can't blame her because they are so cute.

"Lellow" is the only color that she recognizes and anything and everything can be yellow, so she got lucky with all these yellow fish!  She says it with such pride that I love to tell her how correct she is. 


Throughout the aquarium she signed that she was hungry and thirsty. The raisins in our bag just weren't doing it, so we headed for dinner at Johnny Rocket's.


We had the nicest waiter who adored Sarah Graves.  He brought her a hat, which she wore for about 2 seconds.

Then, Daddy put on the hat and it was pretty amusing to her. 

Our waiter also drew her a cute face out of ketchup.  She was more into dancing to the oldies and eating the french fries than she was anything else!

What a great afternoon!

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
