American Girl Sleepover

By -
After our fun meal and celebration at American Girl Bistro, we went to the nearby hotel that does an American Girl Experience! 




I wish I had taken a picture of the ladies at the front desk. They made the VIG (very important girl) check-in so fun and memorable for the kids! They talked to them and went over all the details of our stay with them making it feel so fun!

Our room was completely pink and girly!
Charlie was as excited to be there as the girls were!

The dolls were given these cute beds to sleep on and take home with us!

Pink everything!



We quickly had to get into swimsuits and get down to the indoor pool!

The dolls were prepared with their swimsuits!

The hot tub was my personal preference!

After showers, they were ready to head downstairs for special snacks from the hotel store (plus the fresh baked cookies they gave us!) The girls were sporting the pink robes provided!

Sarah Graves picked out this fun ballerina outfit for her doll.

Charlie was such a good sport! He had fun with the girls and gave them some space to do their makeup and dancing stuff. Even Sienna commented on how well he and Sarah Graves get along, which melted my mommy heart!

We relaxed while watching the American Girl move, Isabelle. 








The kids were so tickled with all the fun items they received for their dolls! Charlie contributed his for SG's dolls, but still fun to get goodies!


For breakfast, our tables were all done up in pink tablecloths! and of course the dolls were there to join us. 

This was a fun and memorable way to celebrate our sweet girl turning double-digits!

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
