Work From Home

By -
The upside of all this time at home has been extra time with the kids. I love seeing them as they wake up and ease into their day with no need to hurry. Our lunches as a family give us more time to talk and hopefully share our values with them. 
Charlie likes to take time to read to me from Weird But True books. My productivity with work takes a hit, but I like that we have this routine. 


Sarah Graves and Lucy frequently hang out around me while I work. I love how much she cares for Lucy and is very kind to her. 

Yep, this happens as I'm trying to work too!

Recently, Charlie was very worried about his wallet. He had been looking for it for a while on his on and was becoming very concerned that he could not find it. He asked for help and I was pleased that I could pause work and offer some ideas. It took a bit of time to think about the last time he had it, but finally one of my suggestions panned out and he was so excited!


Love seeing that happy kid! He was very appreciative of the help and so sweet!

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
