Frozen Mania

By -
We have been non-stop Frozen mania since she saw the movie back in December.  When we downloaded the song, "Let It Go", the mania rose to new heights.  She saw it twice in the theater, owns the dolls, worships the soundtrack, wears the shirt anytime it's clean, has the Anna costume, and when the movie was available for download - sheer heaven.  The timing was actually perfect because she was home with a stomach virus that day and it was a great time to let her veg out and watch it as a continuous loop!
She loves to act out scenes from the movie and pretend that she is Elsa.  She wears her Elmo blanket like the cape because it is long like Elsa's and of course she needs her tiara.  She will have me hold out objects for her to take and place the tiara on her head just like the coronation ceremony.  My favorite part is when she pretends to make the snow and ice and she steps out with her foot and does her hand out like Elsa.  She is already talking about plans for her Frozen birthday party when she turns 5 and our Halloween costume (Lucy can be Sven!)  Sad thing is, I love the music and have happily blared it in the car while singing along with her for the past few weeks!   It reminds me of my love of Annie as a child.

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
