Castaway Cay

By -
Our last day on the cruise was at Castaway Cay. I had heard a lot of good things about Disney's island, so we were really excited! 

The night before we weren't sure if we would be able to go. Jeanne' started feeling really ill when she went to bed and soon Livy was knocking on our adjoining door to get me to help. I wasn't sure what might be wrong but Jeanne' felt like her blood pressure was really high and she had symptoms of stomach flu. Unsure of what to do, I got mom and then we started working on what to do. Finally, when her tongue began to swell, it was decided she needed to see the ship doctor. As it turns out, Jeanne' has a lobster allergy that she has recently developed. The doctor took care of her and with a little sleep she was feeling fine. So glad it wasn't anything worse than that!

My two cool dudes!





The water in the Bahamas was just gorgeous!


This ship was so awesome and the little touches like Dumbo on the back of the ship made it so special.



Sarah Graves and Livy opted to spend much of their day at kids club.

Even Mickey was in his swimsuit!

Charlie hung out with us in the morning and joined kids club in the afternoon. 



These water slides were quite fun! One was open and very fast and the other was closed making it dark and surprising.


With the kids in kids club, Aaron, Dad, and I headed out to do some snorkeling.

Disney buried some of these which added to the snorkeling fun.

We had a fun day. The lunch might have been my favorite part. The ribs were some of the best I have had!

Just like that, in the blink of an eye, our magical vacation was over. We had a wonderful time and made memories that none of us will ever forget. I can't thank mom and dad enough for such a special trip!

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
