Many people have asked me how we fit our family in a two-bedroom home, especially when one room is my husband's office, so here is a vlog tour of our bedroom:
Quickly I would like to address two questions I get that aren't addressed in the video:
First, how do you and your husband get, ahem, some privacy?
Well, my children, once asleep, sleep very, very soundly. Also, we're big fans of starfall.com. Even before we had kids, we rarely went to bed or got up at the same time anyway, so it's not a big deal to us.
Second, why would you even want to do that?
Why not? We save a lot of money by living in a smaller home, and we're living in a nice town-home where the kids have a lot of room to play outside, we don't have to worry about yardwork, and our home feels modern and new, but is well within our price-range. It's easier to clean a smaller home. While I am attracted to the green small/tiny home movement, the truth is, this is just what works well for our family right now. I'm not saying every family should do this by any means, nor am I a die-hard co-sleeper. I simply love co-sleeping, so it works for our family. My husband has a nice office to himself, as well as his "man-cave" out in the garage to do his projects, so he is happy.
The take-away lesson from this post is whatever you want it to be. Maybe you like our triple bunk bed that my husband made with plans from bunkbedsunlimited.com. Great. Maybe you like the idea of storing clothing all in one place and cutting back the laundry beast. Cool. Maybe you're just entertained by our parenting style, and the chaos that comes with it. I'm good with that. Thank you for watching!
