What to Consider When Choosing a Bed for Your Child

Collaborative Post¦ As children develop, it’s important for them to feel like they have their own space to retreat to within the home. Many kids want to start putting their own stamp on their environment, whether that’s having a say in the colour and design of the bedding that they use or putting up their pictures and handmade decorations on the walls. When it comes to customising a space for your growing child, picking out the right furniture is a key consideration. While kids might be more interested in getting the cool bed shaped like a racing car or the platform bed with space underneath it, as a parent, getting the right bed size is one of the main things to consider. Keeping your child safe and comfortable is a main concern, and you also need to think about affordability – your child will keep on growing, so most parents want to purchase beds and other furniture items that will grow with your child for a few years.

Reuben’s Seaside Themed 1st Birthday Cake Smash

There’s just something so cute about setting up a little scene and seeing how they react to the cake. We celebrated Autumn’s 1st birthday with a rose gold themed cake smash and it was the first time she’d ever tried cake. When Reuben’s 1st birthday approached in January, I knew I wanted us to celebrate his 1st birthday with a cake smash too! He had also never tried cake before and I was interested to see how he’d respond.

We’re still very much in the midst of renovating our house, but I want to decorate his nursery with a seaside theme. We recently got the photos back and once again Robert Marriott has helped make the ideas I pictured in my head a reality. The photos will look so gorgeous displayed in there!
