Turner's Bunk Bed

Turner went to stay with my parents last week, and on a whim Alex and I decided to surprise him with a bunk bed when he returned. The bunk bed adds extra space for guests, which we have often. We chose this simple IKEA bunk bed. It's sturdy, and I like that the ladder doesn't take up any extra space. I would prefer it to be white or a bright color since my walls are gray (maybe I'll spray paint it one day).

Turner loved it, and immediately crawled the ladder to the top. When it came to decorating, I found these cloud sheets online from Target for $18 and fell in love. The sheet set came with a flat sheet, but I won't use it until we have guests. It's a pain to make the bed, so Turner will just use his quilt. Most nights he ends up sleeping with a blanket from our living room anyway.

How old is he? Did you have a hard time transitioning him? I want to move our son to a 'big boy' bed so badly because I wonder every single day if he would sleep better!!! Any advice on the whole topic of crib to big bed? :) I love that bed and the sheets!

He's 3 1/2. We transitioned him to a twin bed when he turned 3 and he did great. We just got home excited about it by taking him to target to buy a new pillow/stuffed animal.

Well, reading about setting up a cozy space brought back memories of how small details can really change your mood at home. I went through a similar phase of needing a break from routine evenings, and that’s when I randomly stumbled onto needforslot casino while browsing late. The casino games started with a cold streak and a few losses, then I pushed a bit harder on a slot and caught a satisfying win. It became a simple way to unwind, so I’d recommend it if you need that switch-off moment.

Hey, après une journée stressante en France, je voulais simplement me changer les idées et j’ai suivi le conseil d’un ami pour essayer vegashero casino, qui propose des bonus pour les joueurs français. Les premiers essais ont été difficiles, avec plusieurs pertes consécutives, mais en prenant un peu plus de risque, j’ai eu un gain qui m’a surpris et rendu la soirée beaucoup plus agréable. Depuis, j’utilise ce site pour me détendre et profiter des bonus proposés aux joueurs français.
