Fall Break

By -







 Nearly three months later, I am dusting off my neglected photos. 

We had a wonderful fall break trip to the beach. This was our last hoorah at Gulf Dunes and we added some great memories! Here are some highlights.

We enjoyed walks on the sugar sand beach. The weather was cool, but warm enough Charlie and Livy ended up soaked!





The pool was chilly for my taste, but as the kids repeatedly said, once you got used to it it was just fine!








These three can be so sweet and so fun!

Probably not the kids' favorite part, but we took some pictures on the beach. I love capturing a photo to remember how beautiful our time together was!







These two are a dynamic duo!
After our pictures we went for a lovely dinner at Sarah Graves' favorite place, Ali's. We all enjoyed our delicious food and before long, Livy nodded off at the table. 

More fun times in the pool!





They love for Pops to get in and play with them!






We had a fun time building a sand castle and playing out on the beach. The waves were strong, so not much swimming, but fun to play in the sand!







Putt putt and one more trip to Floyd's for our favorite fried shrimp! 








Of course, we had to work in a trip back to McGuire's! The kids love it there and think the dollar bills everywhere are great. They were so excited to see people wrote Trump 2020 on some of them!





We tried something new and visited Wonder Works kids' museum. Sarah Graves heard about it and asked to go. I think we all had a fun time!












The girls had a shopping day! 

Sarah Graves was so sweet and made sure Lovie's birthday was fully celebrated! Breakfast in bed and cupcakes for dessert were made!

We have made so many memories in Gulf Dunes 517. We will forever hold onto the good times we had there and look forward to the new adventures we will have in new places. 


Farewell to a great trip and to a great place!

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
