Last Friday was f-u-n, fun.
We rode up and down escalators…
…and ate Swedish meatballs and mashed pa-taters…
We tripped out on trays…
…and smiled at striped duvets…
We sipped tea on aisle four…
…and found lots of little goodies, all over the store…
We got hid our hands in our bags, and sang with invisible mics…
We ran into unbelievable prices that made me say “yikes!”
When we were done at Ikea, we headed over to Borders. We sat on the floor, and counted our quarters. (Not really….it just rhymed.)
We met lots of cool folks hanging out in the store…
…and I’ll never forget seeing this guy and his family stroll in through the door…
We had a blast chatting it up with the incomparable Miss Ree…
…and I had her sign an extra copy of her book, with love from TLC…
Want a chance to win it? Just leave a comment on this post and we’ll pick a winner on Friday!

I love PW!!! I stood in line for 3 hours with my sweet and very patient 6 year old to have my cookbook signed. She is the best – PW and my little girl. I think I will add you to the list Layla. : ) You are awesome too. Great giveaway. : )

I love IKEA and I love the Pioneer Woman. Actually, I went to a book signing she had here in Oklahoma City, but didn’t get a chance to get my recipe book signed. This would be an awesome win!
Love you blog. Keep up the good work!

I live 45 minutes from an Ikea and I’ve never been there. People are dumbfounded when I reveal this. I think you may have put me over the edge with the blue striped trays and the ticking stripe duvets! I’ll let you know if I make it there!
Thanks for what you and Kevin do here. I may not say much, but I’m here and enjoying your escapades!
Yes, I love The Pioneer Woman!
