Grace’s Big Girl Bed!

19 Sep 2018 Home, Our Home

Big news in the Joy house! Grace has officially been upgraded to her new big girl bed! I am sharing all the details on how we made the decision, how the transition went and where we bought the bed!

 

I held onto that crib for as long as we could. Grace is 3 and 2 months, and she was physically outgrowing the size of the crib so I knew the time was coming. Also, kind of selfishly, we knew she could safely get up and out on her own in the mornings and play with Brian before we wanted to get out of bed and get her out of her crib (🙈 lazy parents!). No, but really, she was ready for the freedom of coming and getting out as she pleased.

Over the weekend, Brian, little Brian and I got it all ready to surprise her! Here is the sweet video:

Since then she has been loving her bed!  The first night was great, she was cozy and happy and slept perfectly!  She has a bumper on one side as the other side is up against the wall and she has a nice view out to the backyard and the ability to get up out of bed when she is ready.

 

I thought a lot about what bed, bedding and new furniture we would now need for her more grown up room.  I wanted to keep it fun and spunky, just like her, a little boho and a little girlie.  I decided to get the bed first as that’s the centerpiece and what matters most in terms of her comfort.  I had no idea that Walmart has so many great options for kids’ home decor. I compared other beds that were way more expensive and I’m so happy I went with this one, it’s SOLID, and the price can not be beat!  I loved the design as well as it was feminine yet simple which compliments the room so nicely.  The best part, assembly was super easy as I put it together with my friend in one afternoon.  I know Walmart as the go-to retailer for quality everyday items at a low price and now I would definitely recommend checking out the kids’ home home section of Walmart to help you furnish your next project for the kiddo’s.

Isn’t this table the sweetest??

I am sharing links of Grace’s bed/sheet set and similar decor items below (click on image to shop) to help you get the look!  I am so proud of our little girl and can’t wait to see all the fun and exciting things this year brings for my little people <3

Thank you Walmart for sponsoring today’s post!

We’re currently in Phase 1 of our Costa Rican ad We’re currently in Phase 1 of our Costa Rican adventure. This is the two week decompression period where we train our bodies and minds to slow down (this is more for me than anyone else), and let me tell you, I’m lapping it up.  We’re spending all day outside at the beach, going to bed early, eating lots of fresh fruit and healthy foods, swimming in the ocean, I’m working out and meditating in the mornings, and having fun together. For someone who is usually always in high gear, this part is my gift to myself 🐚 

We are staying at a beautiful place in papagayo with @exclusiveresorts and it feels very luxurious and restorative. 

The kids are already thriving. Being together 24/7 comes with its arguments and fights but they are learning how to just be with each other and with their crazy little brother. They’re helping a lot with him, learning a little Spanish, surfing, writing in their journals, and meeting kids from all over the world who are staying here as well. 

I’m letting us get pampered for this phase, and it feels really good. 

Thanks for coming along, I hope your year is off to an amazing start! Is there anything specific you’d like me to share about while we’re in this phase? I was thinking about sharing my morning workouts and meditations, but let me know!
Recently, I downloaded the Melissa Wood health app Recently, I downloaded the Melissa Wood health app @melissawoodtepperberg @melissawoodhealth and so far I’m loving the workouts. I try and do one every morning. They’re super quick so sometimes I do two. I like that they are gentle but hard. They incorporate a lots of yoga, pilates, breathing, stretching, balancing and all that good stuff. You can see from the videos I’m pretty shaky in the first couple clips, that balance is tough but I’m building up my strength, I can feel it 💪🏻
