Character Fun

By -
We were busy cruisers! We packed in so many things, especially character meet and greets! Charlie and Livy enjoyed time in kids club, but Sarah Graves enjoyed being with the grownups. 


The kids enjoyed working for Mickey's Detective Agency and trying to solve the case of the Muppets' missing costumes. This was PePe's door and the kids got a big kick out of how small it was!





We had scheduled a meet and greet with the Elsa and Anna from Frozen. 




Sarah Graves is always a good photo taker, but Charlie and Livy seem to get overwhelmed at times and needed a little extra help getting into the fun. Pops jumped in and got them all back to fun.



Couldn't resist those port holes!

The water slides by the pools were also a lot of fun! The Aqua Duck (the big one that runs all around the outside of the ship) was a lot of fun! The kids enjoyed Mickey's slide quite a bit and it was a great size for them.



Next up on our agenda was a princess meet and greet, but while we waited to see them we caught up with Buzz!


Tiana was so friendly! We saw her multiple times on the cruise and since she is Sarah Graves' favorite princess, that was a real treat. 


Charlie only wanted to see Ariel! He ran up and gave her a big hug! It was really sweet!

Who wouldn't want a hug from Cinderella!

While we saw princesses, Pops and Aaron went to get us seats to see Incredibles 2. It was adorable and the kids loved it so much that we went back again! Jack Jack was everyone's favorite!











Charlie is quite a monkey!

Olivie couldn't be out done and had to show what a monkey she is too!

Jason was so kind and made origami birds for the kids. They were impressed with his skill and appreciated the special touch.

Charlie is our budding photographer and caught this great shot of a beautiful light fixture. I love that he noticed its beauty and took a picture. 

What a great way to end the day! Towel animal with the bed turned down and chocolates waiting.

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
