Feelin' Country

Our chance to explore Nashville continued on Saturday. We headed downtown for breakfast at Johnny Cash's and a trip to the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum.

Aaron gave the Nashville hot chicken a try!


The kids played with fashion plates while waiting for their food and Charlie made his into Johnny Cash.

The food was great and the live music made it fun!

It's June and Johnny!


Scavenger hunts make museum visits more fun!




Sis was the kid with the most interest in the memorabilia. She is also the one who enjoys country music. She was taken with some of the costumes on display and definitely thought some of the really recent ones worn by the young ladies were a little crazy!


The original lyrics for 80's Ladies - a song that makes me think of my sister and our childhood!

There was a ton to see in this museum and it was a little overwhelming to take it all in!

Across the hall was the hall of fame and we saw the plaques for the best in country music!

It was a neat place to visit and a great way to bring to life some of the music and artists we have shared with the kids. 
We all agreed we would like to come back to the downtown area with more time to explore.

Frozen Party Details

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
