Easy Bakin' Fun

By -
For her birthday Sarah Graves received a lot of presents and we will get pictures of her with more of them, but I had to take pictures the first time she tried out her Easy Bake Oven from Grandaddy and Meme.
Of course, she loved it and has asked to make something in it just about every day since she got it.  I never had one as a kid, but I had friends who did and this one is dramatically different than what I remembered.  I don't think it even uses a light bulb!

Preparing the pan.



Waiting for the "cupcakes" to bake.

Moving the pan from the baking area to the cooling area.  
While it was baking, I took her up to put on her pjs and she grabbed her shark hat and said, "I need my shark hat because I'm a shark!" as we headed back down to remove the cupcakes.  Notice her hat ison upside down!  That is typical Sarah Graves.

We didn't get pictures of the final product, but we ended up with 6 doll size red velvet cupcakes with a very sweet pink frosting.  We let her eat them all!

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
