Missing Carpet

So many things we take for granted until we don't have them anymore.  For example....

CARPET

For some reason every European house we've been in / lived in they are all tiles floors, wood floors, or tile and wood floors.  No carpet.  There are both pros and cons to this:
Pros: Easy Clean ups, easy potting training.
Cons: Hard, cold, and Tiles and wood floors can become extremely slippery.  Unfortunately these slippery floors led to Krystal falling (while caring a large load of clean laundry) and landing on her wrist.  So not only was there clean cloths decorating the shelves, lamps, and floor in our bedroom, but she also broke her wrist. 

So the next time you think it would be nice to rip out all your carpet and install tiles or wooden planks, think, "Is it really worth broken bones?" LOL
