We’ve compiled the kids’ gift lists and have been ordering some things in advance as they go …

I love IKEA. Love love love. I could spend an entire day browsing the store, much to the chagrin of my husband of course. I also love baskets and bins, especially those made from natural materials such as rope, bamboo, fabric, and wood. Since we’ll be near an IKEA when we visit family over Labor …
