Yellowstone Adventures

By -

As a special gift for turning 12, Sarah Graves got to pick a trip for Lovie and Pops to take her on. She chose Yellowstone and Jackson, Wyoming. They have been talking and planning this trip for well over a year and it was much anticipated!
What a fun adventure to set off on together!

They had so many fun things planned!


They went to the rodeo!


A chuck wagon dinner show.



A bike tour around lake Jenny with beautiful views of the Tetons!

So many gorgeous views!

Sarah Graves is modeling the hat designed for Beth Dutton on Yellowstone.

A giant cinnamon roll!

Horseback riding and more beautiful mountain views.

I was quite proud of these matching shirts I made them!

They had a driver tour them through Yellowstone and take them to see the geisers. Turns out Old Faithful isnt so punctual!

Their flight home turned into quite the adventure routing them through Minnesota and taking 2 extra days to get a flight home and their luggage was not with them. Turns out you can have fun shopping at an impressive Target! 

I am so glad she got to go back to Wyoming after falling in love with it last summer and I am even happier she took a trip of a lifetime making memories she will cherish forever with her Lovie and Pops!

Frozen Party Details

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
