Bye Bye, Shreveport!

By -
Sunday morning, we had time for a leisurely breakfast with Grancy and Ger Ger before we headed back to the airport.  We knew it would be a short trip, but it definitely did not feel like enough time.


We couldn't get everyone looking in one picture, so between the two we come close!

This is what it looks like traveling with two young kids...
Charlie rides in the Ergo while I push SG in the stroller and both diaper bags are on the stroller.  

Aaron wheels the suitcase and carries both carseats.  We make our way to check the bags as quick as we can!  Aaron used to worry about checking the carseats, but he has gotten over that fear now that we have two to haul!

We have really been blessed that these kids travel very well.  Charlie usually sleeps on the plane and both of them do well napping in the car.  It is still a lot of work, but we are so thankful that we haven't had major meltdowns and what not while flying.

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
