Weekend Fun

By -
Charlie got his weekend time going with some cosmic yoga. He it took it very serious and worked hard to follow all the movements. 

Sarah Graves is generally not into board games, but this time she was all in for Ticket to Ride! Fun when everyone is all in!


We worked on some crafts with clay. The air dry clay was fun to shape and mold and not a big mess!

We had a really fun outing to see the Blue Angels fly over Atlanta! It felt so good to get out of the house and do something! The weather was gorgeous!

Sissy and I tried out a face mask. Not sure it was her thing! Fun to do a little beauty treatment with my girl!

 Charlie and I worked on a science experiment recommended by school.
The red was boiling hot water and the blue was ice cold water. We poured them into a container expecting to see the colors stay separate due to heat rising. 

We did it twice and it just didn't work! Oops! Probably why I'm not cut out to be a teacher! We determined it works with air, but maybe it is hard to see with water.

Our clay projects dried and were ready to paint!



The weather was gorgeous for working outside! The kids took breaks to swing while the layers of paint dried.


With all the great weather we have had, the plants are showing some beautiful blooms!

Even quarantine weekends can feel busy! Great to have fun things to do and get outside.

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
