Thanksgiving Day

By -
The chance to spend Thanksgiving in Baton Rouge was such a gift.  We probably wouldn't have made the drive if it weren't for Charlie's baptism, but it was so nice to be with my family.  We haven't seen many of them since Sarah Graves was Charlie's size and to have a day to be with all of them was so fun.  We had Thanksgiving dinner at my Aunt Tammy's and everyone from my Dad's side of the family was there except for Jeanne' and one cousin and even some of my Mom's side joined us there too.



These people give me a lot of things to be thankful for!



This little one didn't lack for arms to hold him.

Mom and Uncle Steve ooohing over this cute boy.

Sarah Graves and Wyatt are just a few weeks apart and had a good time playing together.  Aren't they darling with the little car? 

Aaron and my cousin Nick had time to chat.

GG made some plain cornbread for Sarah Graves and she generously shared it with her new buddy.

Aunt Tammy strolled SG around.

My cute boy and Lovie.

This was our first time to meet Keniann and I enjoyed talking to Lynsey about babies and natural parenting.  

Later that evening we headed to my Uncle Ronnie's to visit with my Mom's family some more.  

Uncle Ronnie was talking to Charlie while he stretched out for a while.

Mallory and Sarah Graves played with him for a bit too.

Sarah Graves and Uncle Steve laughing.

This was also our first time to meet Raylee and Sarah Graves was excited to see her.



It was nice to see so many of my cousins and catch up on what is happening in their lives.  

We had a great Thanksgiving with so much to be thankful for!

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
