With Big Sister E's fourth birthday approaching in just a few short months, I'm amazed to look back and see all of the milestones that have come and gone since her birth. She crawled, she walked, she fed herself, she moved from a crib to a toddler bed, she conquered potty training, she became the older sibling... sometimes I just can't believe all that has happened in the past almost-4 years.
Recently, however, I noticed one of those achievements was in need of a little... adjustment. As both of my daughters are quite tall for their age (which is baffling, considering I'm only 5' 4") Big Sister E was starting to look a little scrunched in her toddler bed. If she actually stretched out fully, she was nearing both the head and foot of the bed at the same time and every time she turned over she was closer and closer to sliding right off.
So, the obvious next step was to start looking for a larger bed. And when I shop online, I want a site that is easy to navigate, has a huge selection and provides a great value. I didn't want to just settle for the first twin bed that I found and be done, I wanted to be able to browse multiple options and find the one that would fit our decor, style and personality. The obvious choice? It was time to shop at Hayneedle.

Shopping for a wind chime? Try WindChime.com. How

So when it came to a new bed for Big Sister E, I couldn't think of a better site to go to than SimplyKidsBeds.com. Ah yes, the variety. There were categories for Kids' Bunk Beds, Kids' Loft Beds, Kids' Trundle Beds... and what we finally decided on couldn't have fit the description of what we were looking for any better. All we had to do was sit back and wait for the South Shore Summer Breeze Mates Twin Platform Bed to arrive.

Did you catch that? The mattress was INCLUDED. How cool is that? I love the idea

So, after laying out the mattress and dressing it up with a fun set of sheets, the whole family stopped to admire the newest milestone that Big Sister E had reached.
