Not that I’m trying to stereotype or rag on my own country, but what is up with America’s obsession with the high bed? My mother-in-law’s is so high that she has to leave a step stool nearby just so she can try to heft herself in at night. She’s like the princess and the pea with her face just inches away from the ceiling. Ok. Maybe not quite that close, but in many countries around the world, the bed is much lower to the ground, sometimes even on it.
I can already hear my mom defending the whole of America, “If it’s too far down I’ll never get back up!”
I’m crushing on some super cool beds for my boys, but they keep telling me that they LOVE sleeping on the floor. It’s easier to jump into… and easier to jump on… or less risky at the very least… and my youngest loves to sit on the floor and play with his toys on his bed.
Either way, I’m happy that they aren’t complaining because our furniture hasn’t arrived yet and I have some beautiful hand made iron beds that might just fit in here… the boys will be so disappointed! {smiles}

I’m behind on my reading, I had to search back and back – I didn’t realize you’d moved! Congratulations on starting this new and exciting chapter (I can’t wait to listen to your podcasts, I’m saving them to listen to during my morning workouts). I’m laughing at your boys bed-on-floor (my first clue that something was new in your house!). That might be us next year when we move back to Seattle. Even though we will have 4-6 weeks in temp housing, our house will be empty of our tenants and I know we will want to just be there as much as possible (especially since the kitchen will be under renovations). It took 9 weeks for our goods to move from Seattle to London last summer, so I’m expecting it’ll be the same for next summer as well! Bring on the sleeping bags.
