Last night Dan and I got to go to the funnest murder mystery party planned by my awesome sister in law Haley. She sent out each persons character and we were to dress up and pretend to be that person, also we had to try to solve the mystery of who killed me "Snow White". It was fun I got to scream and pretend to be dead on the floor. If you can't tell from the pictures I was snow white, and Dan was prince charming. I found our costumes on line and it was fun to be dressed as a couple. Dan was a good sport and wore his prince costume, he added some of his own flair with the BYU hat.
Then today marked an exciting new step in Dan's new business, we went and saw a bed on the shelf at a Sam's club in Draper Utah. It was really awesome to go and see it in the store. The two older kids were totally embarrassed to be taking pictures in front of people at a warehouse store, but I didn't care I had to document this. Now we just need to get selling this puppies and we are on our way to a successful business. So far sales have been pretty modest. We have them in about ninety Sam's Club stores set up and displayed. There are about fifty more to come in the next few weeks. I think the beds attract attention just because of the light, and the great licensed images.
The beds are just such a new concept that I think it will take some time and marketing to get people to understand it. What bed can be used as a reading light, night light, has a dimmer and timer, and also has an image which can change in just seconds with endless possibilities? You like soccer? You got it, you like Princesses? You got it. Basically anything you can dream up, you can create for your bed. You can even customize with your own photo's. This isn't easily explained in a small display. The boy's have a cowboy themed room, so we have horses and elk in their beds. Kate has butterflies for hers. Is your child afraid to sleep in their own beds at night? We were loosing sleep when Benjamin would want to sleep with us everynight. We got him a lightheaded bed it has a soft night light with a built in timer. The best part about the beds in my opinion is that they have a reading light. If you want to instill the love of reading in your child, get them this bed. Get rid of the TV in your kid's room and replace it with a lightheaded bed. Kate has to read every night for thirty minutes. I use to be the one with the headache of keeping track of her reading minutes. Now with her new bed she can be in control, she just sets the timer for thirty minutes on her light, and when the light turns off she knows it's time to go to sleep, and I know that she's keeping up with her schoolwork. This bed will totally change your child's attitude about reading. It brings back the old tradition of reading together at bedtime with a new and cool twist.
Do you recognize the kids and the mom on the box? It's hard to tell from the small photo, but that's me and the kids!
