My 6 year old son, Jack, loves Ikea. It's the combination of things to do - he loves a play in Småland while I have a mooch around, thinks we're going to the 3 bears house when we pass through the model apartment, always gets to buy a little something in the kids section, then really enjoys a trip to the cafe for quick pick me up and is a great fellah for manning the trolley as we go...

Let's face it there are lots of rainy days here in Ireland, so we were delighted to be asked to take part in a fun Family activity for IKEA that would keep the girls entertained on one of these days. The children's food market stall was really easy to assemble and the girls really enjoyed picking out what fruit and vegetables we would stock. Their soft texture, almost like a cuddly toy...

Over the October mid-term, my family and I got to spend a wonderful two days in Liss Ard Estate. We travelled down the long winding drive-way to arrive at the beautiful house and grounds of Liss Ard Estate. Upon our arrival, we were told that they had taken every effort to make the estate feel like a home away from home for all their guests. We were invited to make use of the selection of...

A study showed that the standard of living in Ireland has decreased in the past few years. Findings from the Growing Up in Ireland survey revealed that the financial difficulties that families experience have been both “pervasive and persistent.” Researchers interviewed the families of 11,100 five-year-olds in 2008 and in 2011 and found that the number of parents struggling to get by has more...

With two small children, Jack 5 years old and Grace 3 years old, sleep is a very important part of our lives. So when we had the opportunity to try out the 40 Winks idea as part of the IKEA Family activity programme - we jumped at it! We took our cute BULLRIG floor mats and laid them out on the living room floor. This made our nap space really soft to lie down on as we have wooden floors. We...

I followed the plan meticulously and enthusiastically, so I was looking forward to my meeting with the Motivation team. I can’t guarantee this will always be the case, so I guess it’s important to bank this ‘feel good’ factor now for use later on in the process. I exercised well, ate as per the plan, used the motivational tools and recorded my motivation as 8 out of 10, which is pretty...

As Mum-in-Residence for MummyPages, I was really excited when IKEA asked me to check out their new “Bring the Family Together” range of ideas. With family life sometimes feeling like it’s running on a timetable of eating, sleeping, drop-offs and pick-ups, that we have no time to just simply ‘be’. Be a family, have fun, get creative, make a mess...and not worry about the clean-up, or...

The aim of this course is to help children build a rapport with the natural environment in a way that will engage all their senses. The idea to take pupils out of their classrooms once a week proved to...
