Rise & Shine

About 6 AM Sunday morning I could hear noises coming from downstairs. Not alarming noises, but the sound of pans and people moving around. Aaron confirmed it was the kids and we dozed off. About 6:30 I started to smell bacon. A yummy smell, but a little concerning that they were making bacon on their own. I started to get up and go downstairs, then I thought they might be trying to surprise us and I didn't want to ruin that. So, we laid there waiting to see and shortly before 7 we heard them on the stairs bringing up breakfast! I had no idea to expect such a treat! Charlie fried bacon, Sarah Graves scrambled eggs, they baked biscuits, and made me tea and Aaron coffee. Sarah Graves also added some zip fizz for me! Such a smart girl to know I might need the extra kick with an early start to the day! They did an awesome job on the food. 


Then, they put on a magic show for the entertainment! Charlie was mostly the emcee and Sarah Graves performed the tricks! They can be so fun!

Their kind gesture making breakfast was appreciated and warms my heart to know that they have their own ideas about being kind to others and showing love for others.

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
