Maman and I spent this afternoon at the ultimate time warp: Ikea.

My Lawdy. We were there almost three hours with little that seemed accomplished, minus a good lunch.

But that’s what can be so fun with my mama … wandering and looking and pondering how things will look.

Ikea did not succeed this time in making me feel like a complete home failure. Only a small one. Does anyone actually live in spaces that look like that in real life anyway?

Ikea or no Ikea, the important thing was just being with my mama. That’s always enough.
