New Room

By -

For Sarah Graves/ 10th birthday we did her room and held the same promise for Charlie on his 10th birthday. It was a little early, but with him away at camp, it seemed like the right time to get in his room and give it a makeover. 
Sis was eager to help paint! Charlie got to help choose the paint color and High Speed Access grey seemed like a great choice for a tech loving guy! After a decade of bibbidi bobbidi blue, he was eager for a change!

He decided he wanted a baseball theme and there was a lot to choose from! He saw this Braves bedding and was in love with it!A big part of the change in his room was removing the top bunk and putting the bed in front of the window. 

This mural of Truist Park helped to incorporate more of the baseball theme. 

Having a bedside table was one of Charlie's requests for his room redo. An easy one!

I gave the bedside table and desk a fresh coat of paint to match his bed. The real fun was putting together this gallery wall. I loved incorporating some of Charlie's treasures and giving him a way to display the things he really cares about. The photo clips, hexagon shelves, and pushpin board all give him the ability to customize and change things up as he grows. 

When he came home from camp, we did a reveal and he was very pleased! 

Sis was proud to show him the baseball themed painting of his name that she made for him. A sweet way to incorporate her talent!

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
