Adventures in couchless living

I was sitting at work today thinking about how I need to get rid of my not-so-old and very busted futon because it’s so damn uncomfortable, but also knowing this wasn’t gonna happen anytime soon because we don’t the have money to buy a replacement sofa.

But I hated putting her in a tiny crib (to be fair, she is big for her size)… so we decided to turn her room into a crib.
