Thanks so much for all the info! I love your blog – you inspire me so much! I am a young mother of three kids (ages 6, 4, and 2), and it’s such a blessing to read about your creativity and home life. Thank you!

Stephanie,
The slats are VERY secure. There are little holes drilled into the wood that fit over metal balls on the frame and then also little screw type things that you hammer in. The mattress is just the one from IKEA that went with it…just b/c I didn’t feel like shopping around. I think a regular twin mattress would fit, but I am not sure. The IKEA mattress was under $80.00.

I LOVE that bed as well – how do the wood slats stay on the frame? Are just sitting on top of them? Also, did you use a regular twin size mattress for it?

man, pictures of your kids almost makes me want to have another. That’s a scary thought. Maybe I need to look at blogs with pics of kids whining and crying and moms pulling their hair out.
kidding aside, your children are beautiful. And your blog reminds me why motherhood is wonderful. I love seeing my kids smile and enjoy life.
I seriously love coming to your site!

What a great idea to capture this “first.” I love it! And I love the orange and gray bedding and polka dot pillow! You have such a way with colors that I just adore.

The pack-n-play might actually have fit on the train (although I laughed out thinking about the five of us trying to get through the train station with everything!). I think the real reason you didn’t have room to bring it was due to the extra suitcase of stuff you trucked over for us . . . I’m remembering something about an OBU commemorative plate?!

I follow a lot of photo blogs and this series is my favorite I’ve seen in a long, long time. Something about the big ‘firsts’ that just melt my heart…not to mention those eyes. You are a wise mother, dark glasses are truly in order! Thanks for sharing you made my flu weary brain smile, Kim
