i’ve been missing my bed
so i decided to write about our room.
as
the title might allude this post isn’t promiscuous at all. in fact,
it’s more about the mundane rituals we follow behind closed doors and the rules
that we follow to keep our bedroom a tranquil yet functional space. in
our home these things work and for my husband and i they have become second
nature.
1) be
realistic. sure i’d love to have designer threads and even more
pillows but, at the end of the day they’d be ruined by drool, paw prints, and
spills.
2) eat in
bed, only occasionally. we don’t make a habit of eating in bed but
will occasionally enjoy a weekend breakfast or cup of coffee from our
room. it’s extremely restful and a great way to wake up.
3) make
the bed - everyday. we make our bed every morning and have for as
long as we’ve been together. even when i’m out before he wakes up cody makes sure the bed gets made. it sets the tone for the day and makes
coming home a bit more pleasant.
4) keep a
blanket close. not just the comforter or duvet but a blanket that
invites a quick afternoon nap or additional cover on a chilly night. we
have one at the foot of the bed in our room and our guest bedroom.
5) tidy
up daily. our room is always picked
up. i love that my husband helps with this on mornings that i just can’t
seem to get out of the house at a decent time. coming home to a clean bedroom (clear of dog toys and now, baby things) is always calming after a busy day at work or running errands.
6) respect your sleep
routine. this isn’t referring to your wake and sleep cycle but, more
about the way in which you go to sleep. in our home cody always sleeps on my
right side, he always turns off the lamp, and we always start close and then
move to the edges. on the weeknights the curtains are open and on
the weekend they are closed. when these things happen i’m instantly
put to ease knowing all is right in my world.
7) and finally, make it a point to always kiss goodnight and good
morning!!
