Life Changing Bedding
Before introducing something to you that will completely change your life (you think I am exaggerating), I would like to just let you know that this post is not sponsored. My blog is not a place to promote products, but if something is worth mentioning, I am always willing and hoping to share the information for others. I mean, we all can work together to promote peace and sanity, right?
That being said, I was recently informed of this amazing, life-changing product: Beddys. As soon as I was sent the information, I was sold. We have five beds in this household. All five are made every morning as a requirement. I would like to say that the children have always meticulously made their beds, but that would be a lie. Layers of blankets and sheets shift in the night and while they try their best, beds are always a mess, even when made. Truth is, I secretly straighten pillows and blankets out after the children have made their beds, just so that I can relax when I pass by their rooms (I'm hoping I'm not the only neurotic mom that does this? Anyone?!).
I've even tried to eliminate the problem by removing the top sheet. With the bunks, I've cut a queen duvet in half, sewn the raw edges and tucked it into the bottom of the bunk so that there isn't excess fabric hanging down and all around. But still, there's always blanket parts coming down under the top bunk and blankets shifting, coming undone, etc. No matter what I have tried to simplify and keep things tidy, it has never solved the true problem.
This may not be a big deal for some people, but I struggle with a little bit of OCD or perfectionism, minimalism, whatever you want to call it. It's there. While I feel like I have died to a lot of it with all that we have going on, I do know one thing: a tidy and kept house allows me to be a peaceful mother, which certainly effects our little school house and the attitudes around here.
So, let me introduce you to Beddys. We were sent a few to test out and before even receiving them I knew they were something special. A very welcome addition to our home. Please see in the photo below that there are no hanging blankets or sheets, just one, soft comforter tucked nicely and tightly around the top bunk (well, assume the Mexican blanket isn't there!). This bedding is an all-in-one product. It fits like a fitted sheet, functions similar to a sleeping bag (but looser because it has a zipper on each side), but looks like a comforter, nicely tucked in. It takes 20 seconds to make. NO JOKE. I timed the boys (this was a fun math project, haha). 20 Seconds and it looks as if I have nipped and tucked and smoothed out and straightened. It is genius. The woman who came up with this deserves some sort of serious award. If I could hug and kiss her, I would. ;)

I am so grateful that we came into contact with this company! Originally when I was checking it out, I was looking at the pricing and it threw me off for a quick second. But when you start factoring in sheets, blankets and comforters, it's actually a steal (especially if you choose to buy your kids' bedding at brand name retailers). A steal that saves your sanity! Plus there are various designs that allow you to style each one according to your child's taste.
Scarlett chose the white ruffles, to no surprise. Even with her tiny little fingers she can make it on her own. She chooses to fold hers back a bit because she loves the fleece polka dots to show.

In the image below, you can see the zipper, which from standing view, is completely covered. You would never know how this bedding functions based on the looks of it.
I can't rave enough about this product. Primarily because it saves me from a little extra time and annoyance, but more so because the children are completely comfortable, warm, and independent. They are proud of how well they can make their bed now (or should I say "zip" their bed?!). Life changing, I tell you. :) Thanks, Beddys, for making our morning a bit more enjoyable!
