Here's to maintaining some self-respect and sanity while tending to the growth and maturation of young minds, including your own young mind. Here's to recognizing that it isn't necessary to know how everything is going to turn out in advance, and that often Life has much better in store than one can imagine. Here's to hope and happiness even when Life gets complicated, especially then... That's when it's needed it most.

...afterall, the car may only seat seven but room for friends is unlimited...

IKEA open today!

To help you understand what this means to our family, we used to plan vacations around visiting IKEA. Even the children love IKEA. T, our eleven year old son, saw a TV advertisement this week about opening day and said - "MOM! Now we don't need to go to California for vacation. We can just go to Draper! Think about what a short drive that will be! . . .and, we won't need to pack any suitcases or anything, so we'll have more room for stuff." The ride home from San Diego was more than just a little bit "packed" We had room to see out, but we had to move things around to get people out of the car at rest stops. It was pure vacation bliss. Honestly. The kids were so excited to get those things home and play with them, that they hardly complained the whole way home.
Now that our most common vacation destination is located so near our home, I guess we'll have to start planning around something else. Maybe Disneyland? Nah! I mean, what can honestly compare to IKEA?
