SG Only Kid

By -

 During her week as only kid, Sarah Graves went to a middle school prep class where she got to meet her teacher Mrs. Parrino and see some of her classmates. At first, she felt like she was going to summer school, but as the week went on, she liked it more and more and became more excited about her new teacher! 

We did a little shopping and although she was bummed out she didn't find any tennis shoes in her size and style, she enjoyed shopping in the Dollar Spot at Target!

We had a great time going to paint pottery! We had a fantastic dinner at a little Italian restaurant with garlic knots and pasta with a butter sauce! It has been a long time since I painted pottery and they had lots of cute items to paint and many examples to get you inspired!
Sis chose a bowl and wanted a watermelon look. 

Aaron chose a vase and picked colors that work in our den. Maybe this will inspire more fresh flowers!

She put so much time and care into her work! 

We enjoyed our art time and it was nice to focus just on her for a bit.  We all missed Charlie while he was gone, but Sissy felt really out of sorts without him.

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
