Momma is on the Road

By -
I almost never travel for work, but I have led a big project to implement all new testing to hire for our call center positions and they are holding a huge hiring event this week, so it is a chance to see my work in action. The event is in Ogden, Utah about 40 minutes outside of Salt Lake City. I guess it doesn't make sense to put a call center in a glamorous city!
Mom offered to be my travel buddy and I couldn't be more grateful! I don't know anyone else very well and there was some confusion about what was happening when, so today has a lot of down time.
I won't be back until Sunday, so this is by far the longest I have been away from SG. That's the really tough part. She is old enough to understand that I have to go bye bye, but she doesn't understand that I will be back on Sunday. The whole time I packed she was telling me bye and giving me hugs! I know Aaron will have a great time with her, but I miss being with her. It takes all of my courage to be a grownup and be away from her!
Before I left, I told her I would bring her a prize and asked her what a good prize would be. She quickly told me that Kate's birthday is tomano (tomorrow) and she needs a cake. Kate's birthday has been a topic of conversation ever since her friend's birthday party and it is always tomano! So I think I will be stopping for a cake before I get home!

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
