Friday Fun Day

By -

The kids' fall break fell at a tough time for other activities so we opted to stay home. I did take off a Friday to do some fun things together. 
We started with breakfast at a spot we recently discovered called Snooze. The food is really good and the kids like their specialty drink bar for tea lattes and hot chocolates!

Next, we visited a German bakery we have been to before but don't often get there because of our schedule. 

Then we headed to Marietta Square and went to a shop with all sorts of candy, snacks, and sodas. We walked and looked at all of the options then landed on flavored sodas and pop rocks!

Charlie went with Toxic Waste soda!


SG tried a drink from Japan requiring you to hit a marble to open the bottle and the marble bobs around while you drink. It made her happy!

It started raining while we were walking around so we hopped back in the car and ate our treat from the German bakery!

Then, we headed on to paint pottery. 






We had such a fun time with our pottery! They were engaged and worked hard on their pieces, but no one took it too seriously and got frustrated! 

I had such a fun time with these two! We laughed, we walked around together, and mostly just enjoyed the time to be together and not be rushing around!

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
