the swedish interiors boutique {52 adventures}

Adventures, and life in general really, is all in the way you look at things. A trip to the shop might not seem like an adventure to many, but everything is an adventure when you are 3 and 2, and to be honest, a little trip to my favourite swedish interiors boutique is always an adventure in my mind. And Rich wanted me to call this post "the great meatball adventure" so clearly IKEA really does have something for everyone. I did stop short of calling the adventure that... mainly because we were too busy eating said meatballs to remember to take photos of that part of the adventure. 

But while you may laugh at a trip to IKEA being an adventure, if you'd have seen the children you'd have been in no doubt that it was one. Our little man described it as being "the best day ever" and was nothing short of beside himself as we went round the different showrooms. And when practically your entire home is furnished from one shop, visiting that shop becomes a great game of "lets spot the things we have at home". The little lady loved jumping on beds (we were there to pick out a new bed and mattress for her so it was totally allowed) and playing in every single play kitchen on the way around while shouting "it's my kitchen".

 ^ turns out this little lady didn't like the meatballs... we might have to trade her in!

 ^ testing out the light switches (they worked)

 ^ yes, Rich decided to set up the stuffed dog so it was drinking from the toilet... yes, he thought this was hilarious... yes, he gave some other shoppers a laugh too.

This year we are embarking on a challenge to have an adventure every single week. They may be big excited adventures or simple ones close to home, but we want to have a 2015 full of adventures and full of amazing memories.

adventure 1 : fresh air

adventure 2 : windy walk
