Escape Birthday

By -



For his party, Charlie really wanted an escape room. I found one that would do it for 9 and 10 year olds and had a party space to celebrate after. We had to keep it fairly small because space is limited in the room, but that worked just fine for Charlie wanting to have the gang there.

Silly guys hanging out while we waited for everyone to arrive.

We couldn't take pictures in the room, but suffice to say, it was LOUD! The boys were more interested than I expected, but there were a lot of puzzles to solve and they did not escape. I was worried Charlie might let that ruin his experience, but he was mature about it and went on to enjoy the rest of his party! Yay for getting older and more mature!





Sissy was such a great helper!


He really enjoyed being the birthday boy!

There weren't a lot of details to do for this party, but we did have fun putting together the goodie bags.

I was really proud of these adhesive vinyl stickers I made for each of the boys. I designed them and used my silhouette machine to cut them. 

We brought his friends Jake and Nico home after the party and Harrison hated the thought of missing out on the car ride! I think that car ride and the silliness that ensued when we got to Jake's house may have been their favorite part of the afternoon!

So glad my guy had a great time celebrating with his friends!

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
