Family Date Tallulah Falls Gorge

By -

 

We picked Sarah Graves up from camp and while we were in North Georgia we decided to visit Tallulah Falls Gorge. 
I'll admit, I was envisioning a family hike by a waterfall. I never imagined it would be a 2 mile walk going up and down 1,099 stairs! Talk about a thigh workout!





It was hot and humid, but we had a good time together! The kids were supportive in helping me not die as we came back up all 1,099 stairs!

I have wanted to visit a Chick Fil A Dwarf House for quite some time, but our schedule doesn't seem to line up to get to one when they are open. I was glad we finally made it!


Sis enjoyed the waffle with the CFA logo on it. Charlie and I really liked the sweet potatoes! 

These two were worn out and promptly fell asleep on the ride home!

I love that the kids have their fun, summer adventures, but I miss us all being together! Not sure I will like the chapter of life when they move out!

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.

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
