Silly and Sweet

By -
Sarah Graves and I have some conversations that are not intended to be funny, but sometimes get that way.
For instance, the other night I had finished reading to her and we were laying there in her bed talking about how she is a princess, Aunt Nay is the queen, I'm the fairy godmother, and then I asked her about Lovie.  She said, "well, she can be the shepherd."  I said, "oh, is that something that you talked about at Sunday school?"  She said, "no momma, we talk about God!" I sure am silly!




Another night we laid in her bed talking about our trip to Shreveport that is coming up.  I was mentioning to her the idea of spending the night at Grancy's house, which she liked very much.  Then she asked about where daddy, Charlie, and I would stay.  Before I could explain it all she said, "oh yeah, you can stay in the stable because there's no more room."  I said, "like Mary and Joseph did when Jesus was born?"  She said, "yeah, 'cause you know there isn't any more room for you."  She was grinning and knew she was being funny with that one!

This one is more sweet than funny.  The other night in the bathtub I noticed a bruise on her arm and I asked her if she remembered how she got it.  She glanced at it and said, "Momma, that's just the way God made me."  Such a sweet girl.

The other day my heart melted for her when she was eating breakfast with her crown on and I called her a princess.  To that she replied, "Momma, I can't be a princess now because princesses don't wear glasses."  I didn't have the right response at the ready and the best I could do was tell her that I was sure some of the princesses wore glasses when they were little girls, but had contacts like Momma now that they are big girls.  I dread the day when she doesn't think she is pretty, smart, or anything else that she feels isn't right about herself.  She's perfect to me and her Daddy.

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
