The Appeal of IKEA

We are eyeballs deep in searching for a place to call *our* home. Because of that this week has been b-u-s-y! If we aren't scouring listing sights for new properties we are touring properties, and all of that has made this week fly by.

Jumping into the big fives from the week:

1) Yesterday one of the first things to pop up on my Facebook feed was this:
It's the little things in life… :)

2) My friend convinced me to make a weekday trip to IKEA. The last time I went was on a Sunday afternoon. Lesson learned. Week days are the way to go. And, I actually enjoyed the place, I can finally understand the appeal of IKEA. Picking out "stuff" for where ever we call home will be good times!
These two were our little shopping assistants. They were high-fiving (how appropriate for today's post) the successful trip.

3) These two are so stinking cute together. We asked if they would hold hands, and the obliged.
Heart exploded.
Now, please excuse me while I go sob in a corner… When did my baby decide it was ok to hold any other girls hand besides mine?!

4) My life long BFF, Amy, and her family are coming to visit us in April. I.CAN.NOT.WAIT! There are so many things I already have planned for all of us to do while they're here. I hope her family is ready for my action-packed itinerary.
Is it April, yet?
This was the last picture taken of the two of us together before we became mommies. :)
5) Oh, Kid President, you certainly have a way with words…
"You're awake. You're awesome. Live like it!"

  5. Sending you positive vibes on finding the perfect place!

    That is so awesome that they used your picture. Can't blame them since it is a gorgeous one. I love that they credited you! You know how some places tend to forget that sometimes.

    I've never been to an IKEA before. Not sure if it is a good or bad thing but I really, really want to go. I've just never been very close to one.

    And I think you know by now that I love the way you dress Marcus! Cutest little outfit.

    Yay for BFFs visiting!

    Kid President is the best! Such great messages and it's nice to see that the message are coming from a child.

    I hope that you have a great weekend!

  9. Isn't IKEA just amazing? Since I was pregnant during the hottest part of the summer, I would go there just to walk sometimes :)

  10. Ooo, I can't wait to hear about your new place -- hope you find it soon!!! Having any luck, any contenders?

    I've never been to IKEA, would like to go sometime just to see what it's like. I think Chicago is the closest one to me, if we ever get over there I guess I should plan a shopping trip.

    Have a great weekend!

  15. Totally jealous of Ikea. We have none here in Maine, and the closest one to us is in Massachusetts. I keep telling my hubby we need to go there for a couple of days and just spend a day at Ikea! ha!

  18. Oh, don't even get me started on IKEA. It's very, VERY dangerous for me to go into that store. I always walk in saying, "I'm just looking." I walk out with about 10 bags of stuff. And yay on the photo credit! That's awesome!

  19. How totally awesome & what a great way to start your time on Facebook to see your picture & photo credit show up in your news feed! Did you run around and want to share & tell everyone you knew that you were technically Facebook "famous" like I would have? Lol, cause I totally would have!! Hope you have all had a good weekend. :)
