Partying with her friends!

By -
I can't believe that this pretty girl is already six! She was so pumped for her party! We had a snow shower that morning and she was worried we would have to cancel, but the sun came out and all was well!


Pizza is the typical choice for sleepovers, but Sissy prefers pasta, so we did a pasta bar. The girls could choose from tomato sauce, alfredo sauce, meatballs, and garlic toast. I think everyone found something they liked.

We set up a photo area with props and Aaron connected his phone to the apple TV so the girls could watch their photos on the TV! It was a lot of fun and they enjoyed checking themselves out!








She has a sweet group of friends!


Sarah Graves was really excited for painting nails at her party! We picked out some fun colors and let the girls choose. Thank goodness for Aunt Nay helping out with this part!

Sarah Graves was the first to fall asleep about 11 o'clock. My sweet girl likes her sleep!
It took most of her friends quite a bit longer to calm down and get to sleep. About 1 o'clock most of them were out! I was shocked that no one got homesick and I didn't make any phone calls to parents. Yay for a fun night!

After a late night, the girls were up at 7 and ready to start the fun all over!

We started with stringing fruit loops to make necklaces!

The girls also enjoyed relaxing and watching some cartoons.


We finished up with a few more photo ops before friends headed home!

Phew we did it! Her first slumber party and we had 12 girls come and have a great time!

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
