Sister's Baby

Content by Mauricio Benson

When my sister had her baby I had to get the best of the clear internet plans for myself because with me being on the road all the time I needed to be able to answer her emails and get her pictures at the drop of a hat. I love my sister and this is the first time I’ve become an aunt so I want to be part of it once and for all and not miss a thing just because I wasn’t at my desk.

I love my sister so much and I know that it’s only a matter of time before she has a second one so I talked her into setting up a blog which has made my life SO much easier. She just posts pictures online when she can and I get to see what little Jayden is up to – it’s the simplest little strategy but you know, at the end of the day it works for my family and our crazy hectic lifestyle and that’s all that matters!

Fun at Chuck E Cheese's

CJ and I are not a fan of Chuck E. Cheese's - the food is sub-par and way over priced. However, the kids love it there and my dad enjoys taking them there n occasion. Last night was one of those occasions.

Finding a Suitable Bunk Bed

We are still at three kids, but we are tinkering around with the idea again of having another baby. The big issue right now is money – of course! In addition, this house only has three bedrooms so the boys already share a room. If we had the money right now, we could turn the attic into a bedroom.

Even with an additional bedroom, two kids will still have to share a room and I really think it should be the boys. They are only 14 months apart and have always shared a room. Finding the perfect bunk bed for them is very important.

I looked online, after searching the stores around here and being extremely disappointed, mostly with the prices. When I came across this Kinder Bunk Bed I instantly thought it was perfect for them!

It is a day bed that features a pull out trundle guest bed, ideal for when we have company, without the need for another bed taking up room in the meantime. I also think they will love playing here; it kind of reminds me of a secret fort.

So of course I also saw a bed I think would be great for Olivia. It is this Ohio futon bunk bed.

It is a single top bunk with a double ‘fold-away’ futon beneath and can be easily turned into a single bed with separate sofa. This type of bunk bed is perfect for when a friend sleeps over!
Having lots of children but living in an average home requires thinking outside the box.

Getting a bunk bed that fits my kids’ personalities is my goal I found these beds online at Dreams.co.uk and just seeing what they have available has given me some interesting bunk bed ideas!

Husband Hates the Atlanta

Guest post written by my buddy Aldo Mays

My husband hates Atlanta. He grew up in a small city and has always loved the feel of a small city better than a big one. He was use to feeling safe everywhere you went and his family didn’t even lock their doors.

It is hard for me to imagine feeling that safe anywhere. I love the city, but I can’t imagine leaving my doors unlocked or being without an Altanta home SECURITY system. My husband feels safer with the alarm, but I can tell he still hasn’t gotten used to living here. It is hard to see him so worried and unhappy.

When we first moved here, I thought he would get used to it and everything would be fine. After years of living here, I am starting to wonder if we should move. I love my husband more than anyone in this world and his happiness is important to me. I am sure I will miss the city and all of my friends, but sometimes you have to make sacrifices. This will probably be my biggest one.
