Can't wait never been to a ikea I did see several things I would have bought.

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

Lots to see and lots of great ideas! Thanks for spending time with us!

[@mandywhitton]

Love that shop I going on Tuesday and Costco to so roll on Tuesday

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

Sounds like fun! Thanks for watching!

[@marcellahicks3984]

I have not been to Ikea in years. Love going there. Love the kitchen section. It does take a long time to see everything. Thanks for taking us along.

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

Such a fun place to wander and get idea! Thanks for coming shopping with us. And thank you for the wonderful surprise waiting when we got home!!

[@marcellahicks3984]

We hope you will love it all.

Ikea is great for glass storage containers. Some of their furniture lines are durable. Most stores without elevators are a maze you must walk completely through and see everything to reach the check out. Wear comfortable supportive shoes. Shopping on line is more relaxed and you don't have to pull heavy boxes around. The stores do have loading areas though with help. Glad you enjoyed, Everett seemed to take it all in. The food seemed to help.

[@AlaskaBoys]

Those stores are like a maze, I remember getting lost the last time I went a few years back. Or maybe it’s like a river, you start at one spot and have to follow along till you get to the end.

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

It is all part of the marketing! Make you wander and want to buy more!

[@cindycarroll104]

Sorry but I don't think I been to Ikea ever. Thanks for taking me on your adventures with your sons. Your an Amazing young ❤ lady Lauren. I love 💘 to watch all your videos girl. Have fun

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed the fun! This was a short Ikea trip because usually there is a lot more to look at! Thank you so much for being here, we are so grateful!

[@annakrackerjaxxx5656]

We have an ikea about 20 minutes away. I haven’t been since the world closed. The lines waiting to get in were around the building. This was fun!

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

That is crazy! So many people, I would stay away too!

[@Judy.LoveandLightAlways]

Last time I went to IKEA was back in the 90s omg I bought a wall unit for my son's room, so many screws were missing, my husband ended up using his screws.. I Really don't like flat packs Lauren and gorgeous Boy's.. That IKEA had so many interesting things, a Cafe 😲. Big Hug's and Great Video Lauren and Boy's from Victoria in Australia 🐨🦘💝💙💙

[@cherylgreen7299]

I have never been to Ikea hope your having a great time on vacation love from pa

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

Thank you! AZ is wonderful! Thanks for watching!

[@leighlitz2481]

I’ve never been to IKEA but I hear the meatballs are great. Hope you’re having a great trip.

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

The meatballs are very tasty! We ended up not being very hungry and took most of the things home to eat later. We really enjoyed our trip, it was such a great time. Thanks for watching!

[@FiorLabhair]

I’ve never been either but looks cool

[@bonnie3994]

Well this was a fun video never seen inside a Ikea store before,,ol my goodness I could have spent way to much money in there,,alot of fun stuff. I used to get their catalog but they stop sending them out. Thanks for taking us with you,,now I got to go online to see what goodies they have that I might be able to use. Great video 💞

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

It really is a lot of fun. If getting it home wasn't an issue, I would have a lot more to buy there! So many fun things. Glad you enjoyed coming along. Thanks for watching Bonnie!

[@cindydaniel6125]

Only been to ikea once. It was so fun. Closest to me is a couple hours.

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

It is really fun! I enjoy my trip once a year. If there was one close I could be in trouble. A couple of hours would stop me from going too!

[@lig8817]

Love your videos!

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

Glad you like them! I appreciate you being here!

[@mandywhitton]

In love IKEA it’s best shop then IKEA xxxx

[@mandywhitton]

❤️ is so ❤️

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

Ikea is so much fun!

[@stephaniegillum9764]

I love IKEA!!! I don't get to go very often but when i do I seem to want everything. Haha🤣🤣

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

I agree! I would be in trouble if we had one close by!

[@karenleemallonee684]

I have never been to an Ikea before, now that I live in California I do have them near by. I guess I don't do anything to update my apartment, I really should! Sounds like Everett may have a bit of a cough, it makes it rough to be sick when your not in your own home. I hope you, Mark & the boys, enjoy the rest of your vacation...spring is on its way!!! 🌸🌷🌸

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

That would be fun to do a little updating. I would focus on one room at a time if you are going to do anything, don't overwhelm yourself! Everett did get a cough and it was sad but he is better now. Thanks you so much for watching, I needed a bit of spring because it has snowed 15 inches since we were in AZ!

[@margaretturner3251]

Hello thank for showing us nice products at Ikea nice store big selection enjoy spring break everyone.😱😊🙏🙏🐅🤗

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

Thanks for watching! We had a nice time!

[@heleneostlin8088]

Hej bra val med äpplekaka 🍎 och daim tårta 🇸🇪 Hi good choice with apple cake and almond cake.

[@manushak_and_tanya]

IKEA is like another world & a great escape. Enjoyed hanging out with you all on your adventure there!

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

Yes, it is all about the experience. Don't expect a quick in and out, its an adventure. Thanks for watching!

[@kaycuneio7226]

Thkz for taking us along to IKEA, I’ve never been. It was very interesting. We have one in St. Louis, but we almost never drive to the city. ( except to go watch my granddaughters play basketball and soccer at a city school) 😊 do the boys enjoy the Arizona weather?

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

It is a fun store! The boys love the AZ weather as long as it's not too hot. We really had a lot of fun and the weather was perfect. Thanks for watching!!

[@tarras3292]

That was alot of fun thank you for sharing and how's everyone else doing in Alaska 🥰🥰🥰

[@beckystokes9061]

Hello friend! Just wanted to chime in here and say a close friend of mine here in Missouri..her and her hubby and kids will be moving to Alaska this coming May! They are wanting to move to Kenai Alaska (I may not be spelling that right). I am so excited for her and her family!

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

Kenai is right! How fun for them. I hope their move goes smoothly!

[@laurab4413]

We go twice a year in our birthday months as they give a ten dollar coupon . I love their kitchen gadgets. Dark chocolate is pretty good also.

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

That is fun, I need to get on that birthday coupon! Kitchen gadgets is what usually gets me!!!

[@jamiewright7326]

Your boys are cute! Esp Everett 😻💖💙

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

Thank you so much! Sure love him!

[@kimberlyshalaby1134]

My 1st time to IKEA, & seeing inside the store. You found some handy gadgets. I liked those scoops you sat back down. I wander if the person who invented that blanket had a college degree? It would be really warm on a chilly night after having sat on it a few hours. (just joking, not intentionally being mean. It's like it's so easy a 3-year-old could do it.) Enjoy the rest of your evening.

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

I know it is so easy but the sleeves on the blanket make it so nice because you can use your arms. I used it when it got cold in the evening and the kids were in the hot tub. The kids loved it too, everyone was fighting over it. There was so much I could have come home with but I didn't want to overdo it! Thanks for watching.

[@lauriefish2324]

I haven't been to an ikea here in the south. It's cute but you get what you okay for!

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

True! They have some good gems but its more about the experience for me. Love to browse and get ideas!

[@lauriefish2324]

I would get lost lol!! As a kid in Anchorage Lowes and Home Depot kinds gave me that vibe LOL

[@Bex-rg8pj]

I spent 10 days visiting my son in Chicago. Just got home today, and yes we hit IKEA ☺️

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

So fun! Hope you had a wonderful trip!

[@jaybee608]

Never ever been in an Ikea. One was to come to my city, but they backed out. I was bummed!

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

Oh no! That's too bad. I always like to browse when I am in a city where there is one. I think I would be in trouble if there was one near by.

[@leekorten1791]

I have never been to Ikea, even though we have one not to far from us. They did have some really nice things, so I might look on line to see what sort of things are available. Everett looks a bit under the weather, I hope he feels better soon. 💞

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

Thanks! They have a lot of things to look through! Everett did get a bit of a cold but he is better now, thank you!

[@ranaecambell5889]

Our closest ikea store is in Atlanta I'm not a big fan of all that traffic

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

I don't like traffic either. After being in a big city, coming home to AK is so refreshing! Thanks for watching!

[@jadeblues357]

I don’t know if your sons are on such good behavior because they’re on camera? I’m more inclined to believe that it’s good parenting thanks for taking me along I’ve never been to an IKEA❤️👍🏻🇺🇸

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

They are normal children with all sorts of behaviors and emotions but I do feel like they are REALLY GOOD kids. And since I believe that, I am always encouraging that good behavior. I am so grateful for them. So glad you enjoyed coming along with us and being in Ikea!!

[@MsWDWFAN1]

I've never been to Ikea as I don't have one near me. Looks like they have some nice things though. It looks huge and I would be overwhelmed. They say the food is pretty good from what I've seen from other vlogs. Was Garrett bummed that there were no samples? 🤣

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

It is so big and made into a maze to keep you there longer. So many people come just for the food but the do need samples for our Everett to be convinced to shop there!

[@brilliantbutblue]

I love Ikea but regret it is lethal on the bank balance, so much crap you never knew you needed in your life!! Those fold down baskets are useless (speaking from experience) but the measure Cups and spoons are great. I love the food at Ikea, in Melbourne they have unlimited refills on the drinks which is appreciated and uncommon here. It's always a fun day out👍

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

So lethal on the bank account. Those things seem to add up fast. I stuck with the practical items, mostly... not sure a blanket with arms is practical but I have sure enjoyed using it! That is so interesting about the refills, that is common practice here in the US to always have free refills on soda. Thanks for watching!!

[@lindabeeler504]

My son is looking for a monthly rental in Seward. He has a job this summer but can find no place to live. Do you have any suggestions?

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

I am sorry, I am not familiar with the rental situations in Seward. I really hope he finds something.

[@carolwhisenhunt7504]

I like cosco better. I missed samples like Everett did.

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

Yep! We will be doing a big Costco haul when we get back home because we ate the fridge down to zero! Thanks for watching!

[@carolynk.9856]

I don’t mind watching videos of people shopping at ikea but I always get really stressed out when I go. I don’t like how it is layer out and you don’t come out where you went in.

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

It can really make you feel trapped! Thanks for spending time with us!
