Beachy Beachy!

By -

Our first day and we were eager to get out on the beach! The weather was great, aside from strong winds. 


We have the hardest working kids on the beach! They set to work building and digging in the sand!



These two are quite the team working together. They give quick orders and seem to have a shorthand with each other, but it works for them!



They love to play in the waves!







When Charlie found out we were going to a different area of beach than Okaloosa Island, he wanted to make sure there would be sugar sand and he was pleased to experience this soft, sugar sand! 




Sarah Graves doesn't enjoy the ocean, but she loves to build sand castles! Aunt Nay was so kind and watched videos with her to get some tips on how to build sand castles. They put their new knowledge in place and built this cool castle wall with arches!



Lovie and Pops were there watching all the action. Thanks to them for this beautiful place on the beach!

Part of the fun of visiting a new beach area is trying new restaurants! We really enjoyed Pizza by the Sea!



Ice cream for dessert was a big hit too! Starburst and Cookie Monster were the favorite flavors!

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
