Homeward Bound

By -

After months of planning and anticipation, our big adventure was coming to an end. 
We loaded our suitcases with Tato's, Hula Hoops, and Cadbury chocolate to bring our new found snack loves home!

My seat buddies! We laughed at the guys in front of us who were constantly waking the Asian woman in the aisle seat with their liquor purchases and subsequent restroom breaks and the guy behind us gave us a big chuckle when he asked his wife if she had another one of those rectal suppositories! 

After a short delay in D.C. due to serious lightning and fear our flight would be canceled, we were excited when they started boarding us on this plane, even if we had to walk outside in the rain to get on! I thought it could be my lucky day when the gate agent joyfully shouted, "Seat Change!" when she scanned my boarding pass, but just a correction as this was a different plan than we were originally scheduled on!

Lots of great memories and fun times bonding with my Irish geezers! Driving through small country roads with Charlie cracking us up making up names for a fake soap opera he would call the Gams and the Gwippas (he calls toes grippers :) ) while SG piles on the details of the soap will be some of the fond memories I carry with me!

Frozen Party Details

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
