Adult time with Andreas

Today, Andreas and I found ourselves with a little "adult time".... you know, no kids... just us.... So what did we decide to do something.... something that is much better without kids around.... we went to IKEA ;)
When we take the boys, it is always a stressful situation. All of the living room displays suddenly become the best place to take a pretend nap. All of the couches must be sat on. All of the curtains must be hidden behind. Needless to say, not a leisurely stroll around the store ;) Without them, our trip was pretty efficient: we managed to agree on a shelf unit for the kitchen, a little carpet for the kitchen, new napkins and.... don't laugh because I am serious.... our groceries. Yes, our IKEA has a lot of our old favourites from Sweden... dark rye bread, cookies, crisp bread, meatballs, lingon sylt (not quite sure how to translate that one), Kalles Caviar (kind of like fish row in a tube)... and candy for Andreas (What? Share with the boys! No way!). All in all, it was a good trip... and Andreas got to say hello to the Mother land and renew his Swedish citizenship ;)

Wishing you all a good week ahead xox

  1. When my youngest daughter was studying in Bucharest (Erasmus students), the trip to Ikea wonderful, purchases similar to what you / I have with the vehicle and not as when we go to Ikea here in DK.
    Followed by a bit on the sidelines. Wish you and yours a wonderful day.

    1. So glad that you commented :) The first time I traveled to Denmark and Sweden, I felt oddly at home because most of the IKEA furniture was the same stuff that I had in my own home ;) Makes the world a little smaller ;) Have a great day!
