I Get My Ya-Yas From Ikea. You Have to Put Them Together Yourself, but They Cost a Little Less.

On what could almost be called a whim today, we loaded up the whole family and headed out to Ikea. Oh Ikea how I love thee, if I were a poet I would write a sonnet either to or about you. Contented sigh...
We didn't go for the whole show because I basically knew what I wanted - CD size storage boxes in an effort to organize the fabric into submission, it's taking over! So we stuck to the kids area and the storage/organization area. I thought the girls would be the ones goggling over everything in the kids area, and while they did their fair share it was me who wanted to buy up everything in the place. Almost everything there is too adorable! I had to content myself with only picking up this little numberOnly $14.99 yall! Plus the other side is a chalkboard and there's a place to put a paper roll that you pull up and over should you be in the mood for crayons or paints (and by you I of course mean the kids, it's for the kids of course!). I'm ridiculously giddy, let's hope Matilda feels the same way come the morning of her birthday. Oops, I hope you're not reading this Tillie!
Of course when we moved onto the storage/organization area it did not disappoint. I totally nerd out over compartments and shelving and boxes, oh my! You might think this means I'm organized, it really seems like I should be, hmmm... Anyway, I found what I'm sure will be just the thing to head me in that direction. (Is anyone else seeing Liz Lemon lament "my decorganizers!" no?)
To sum up, I loves me some Ikea and the next time I need to buy 100 tea lights for 3.99, you know where I'll be heading.
