Prizes from London and Paris

By -
Lovie and Pops came back and brought many prizes for Sarah Graves.  One of them was this darling scooter that all the little ones in London were using.  Sarah Graves didn't quite know what to do with it, so Grancy was showing her how it is done!

Here is Sarah Graves with some of her new things.  She has a new bear from Harrod's that we have named Harry, a little backpack that has a lead that can clip on so that she gets more freedom without getting lost when we're out, and of course, her scooter.  She also has some cute t-shirts, a new dress, a guide to being a princess, and a keepsake for when she's older. 
Lovie and Pops didn't forget about me and Aaron.  We have a variety of things that they picked up for us including some delicious candy for me and a t-shirt for Aaron. 
We are so glad they are home!  I missed my morning call with Mom something terrible!

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
