Lucy's Quinceañera

By -


Lucy turned 15 on February 13. We typically give her extra treats or a special meal on her birthday, but 15 felt like such a milestone that we needed to celebrate with a party, a quinceañera! Lucy is not a fan of other dogs, so we didn't invite them, but we did invite some of her favorite humans!!


These are definitely her two favorite people. They show her so much affection and think about her often!

Since Lucy loves peanut butter, we did peanut butter frosting on the cupcakes and a special meat cake with peanut butter between the layers for Lucy!

Being so close to Valentine's Day we went with a Valentine theme with a few frenchies thrown in



Lucy definitely loved all the special attention!

The kids loved playing in the bouncy house!





When it was time to sing Happy Birthday, she acted like she knew what to do! I think she definitely felt the love and enjoyed all the attention!




It was a fun afternoon and I am so glad we gave Lucy this celebration. She entertains us every day and I'm glad we could give her some of that.

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
