I to the K to the E to the A

Reasons why we love IKEA:
1) the kids' supervised play area where the Girls can play games, craft a princess crown and jump in the ball pit while the Moms can shop in relative peace 2) the cafe where you can get two kids meals and an entree for yourself, all reasonably healthy, on the cheap...$9 3) the fact that Thelma & Louise can jump right into a display and toast their lemonade glasses without employees frowning upon it
4) the sinks in the bathroom that are at kid height (this was clearly Baby Sister's favorite part of the day) 5) the way that they set up entire rooms using their products which lend themselves to stimulating creative thoughts about the spaces in your own home 6) the $1.25 frozen yogurt ice cream cones and gargantuan cinnamon roles at the bistro near the exit

7) the prices, at $20, this mosquito net for the Girl's bed (which she has been wanting ever since she saw one hanging over her friend G's bed at Christmastime) was the most expensive item in my cart and my entire purchase (consisting of 14 bowls, 6 ceramic plant pots, the mosquito net, and an adorable sand toy set) totaled just $67
