IKEA Bring The Family Together

 

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 whether the ‘good-room’ is show-house ready!

 

As a child, some of my best memories are when we built forts at home with secret passwords for entry and licking the spoon when baking with my mum.  Now, thanks to IKEA, I have the opportunity to create some really fun memories for my children!

 

The old adage that your children won't remember what you spend on them, rather the time you spend with them is so true. It’s well worth reminding ourselves of this every now and again as we navigate our busy lives.

 

IKEA have put together a brochure that is full of fun ideas to help make any day a better day. Over the next few weeks, I am going to be putting these ideas to the test at home along with some other MummyPages mums.
