  • Our 10th anniversary is in just a couple weeks.  The other night I was trying to get to sleep and was unsuccessful.  So I thought I’d go online via my iPhone and see if IKEA had any new products in stock.  My eyes were finally starting to droop when I spotted the coolest gift for…

  • Happy Valentine’s Day!  Tell everyone you love that you love them!  These are the Valentines I made on See Here for 18 cents each that came with 2 day shipping!  I used our red hearts blanket from IKEA as a backdrop on the sofa.  CSP gave treats while I snapped a bunch of pics.  I’m…

  • For the last 8 years (up until our yard sale in November) we sat every day on a bright red Ektorp sofa from IKEA.  We rented a giant moving truck and drove it up to the College Park, Maryland IKEA to buy it (before there was an IKEA anywhere closer).  We bought the matching chair…

  • Nanny bought me this cool plant and pot at IKEA while she was in town. I just love the way it looks on the half wall between the dining room and the living room. I hope I can keep it alive! I have a bit of a black thumb! *Ok, so just learned while finding…

  • Yesterday Nanny & I woke up and met up with Sara, Jacob, Joey & BF (bio father) at IKEA for breakfast.  They have an IKEA in Tampa & Orlando but Nanny & BF haven’t been to either.  Nanny was so excited!  I thought she’d pick up a thing or two, but she dropped close to…

  • Now that we have an IKEA we seem to be there at least once a week.  The other night Sara called and asked did I want to join them there for dinner.  Jacob & Joey LOVE IKEA.  She asked them where did they want to go and they both grabbed IKEA things to show her. …

  • A couple of weeks ago Gigi took a day off and we had a girls’ day.  We started the day by meeting up at IKEA.  We shopped and had lunch and shopped some more.  By the time we made it to the warehouse, so close to the registers and the car, our knees had had…

  • Besides my husband, who (whom?) I’ve been loving for almost 11 years now, and marriedly loving for 8, I’m loving a few other things. 1.  HOW CUTE ARE THESE???  Ok, so once April gets here it will mark 3 years of me wearing nothing but Crocs shoes.  So comfy and cute.  Not to mention inexpensive-…

  • Yesterday morning I woke up early (it can be done) and picked up Sara at her house.  We drove to IKEA to drop off our sweepstakes entries in the hopes to be one ( or two) of the 10 who will win a $1000 gift card.  There were a ton of flag people directing us…

  • It was announced today that IKEA Charlotte will be opening FEBRUARY 18TH!!!  That’s months earlier than we thought!  Woot!  I can hardly barely breathe!
