Happy Birthday, Charlie

By -
Feels hard to believe that this precious baby boy has transformed before my eyes into a beautiful child. He has a fun side, is sensitive, likes to talk, loves games, and surprises me with all he knows!

The birthday boy wished for Chick-fil-A for breakfast!


Our elves flew in on broomsticks for Charlie's big day! I think they were trying to play Quidditch in the kitchen!

On their birthday kids get a free dress day. I was sure Charlie would want a t-shirt, but he surprised me and wanted to dress up in his bowtie! I think he knew it would get lots of compliments!


The elves brought some other Harry Potter decorations like this sign for platform 9 3/4. He had fun running at the closet door and either pretending the platform was closed or quickly opening the door and pretending he slipped through!

Moaning Myrtle in the toilet tickled him the most! He remembers the stories so well and knew exactly who it was!

Parents are invited to join for lunch at school. Aaron and I were happy to come check out lunch with kindergarten!



Aaron brought his favorite meal, mac'n cheese and apple sauce from Steaky Shake! He says their mac'n cheese is better than any other.

I think he was excited to have us there and meeting his friends was pretty funny. They were talking to me and telling all sorts of funny things.

Frozen Party Details

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
