Sick Princess

By -
Our princess has been battling asthma and this past week she came down with pink eye, too.  We were at the pediatrician last Sunday because her asthma flared up, she was running a low fever, and had a terrible cough leaving her gasping for air.  Thankfully, the pediatrician did not recommend liquid steroids again, but suggested that she take two puffs on her steroid inhaler and we up the frequency of the albuterol.  That cleared up the asthma pretty quick.

That seemed to calm the asthma down, then Monday her teacher called saying her eye was hurting and she suspected pink eye.  We headed back to the pediatrician.  It was pink eye and we got an antibiotic eye drop.  Poor little princess is so practiced at the pediatrician that she willingly sticks out her tongue, takes a deep breath, and lets them check her nose and ears.  She also very excitedly looks forward to the popsicle and treasure chest!  

She had to stay home from school for a couple of days while the pink eye cleared up.  I was so thankful that Lovie and Aunt Nay could help out.  Aunt Nay played with her and did some crafts.  She even helped SG make Monster Spray.  A spray that smells like lavender and you use it to keep the monsters away at night.  SG had such a great time that she didn't want to get better and have to go back to school!

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
