I don’t even consider it a blogger meet-up anymore when I meet up with these lovely ladies!

I know we met via the internet, but seriously Ashley and Jessica are like long lost friends! And every time I’m with them, we just pick up where we left off. Today went by tooooo quickly!

Obviously the afternoon was spent talking and shopping about food. And eating, of course… We went to the monstrous Market District Giant Eagle in Robinson Township. I love it there, but it is sooo big that I find it overwhelming. So I stick with the hot/cold bar. Yum-O!

Ashley’s family came too! I adore her mom and I got to meet her super sweet aunt + cousin!

I didn’t really take many pictures. Their cameras (and photography skills) put mine to shame, so you’ll have to visit their blogs if words bore you.

Our first stop was IKEA. Sometimes I forget how awesome it is that it’s basically in my backyard, but Ashley told me that the closet one to her is 8 hours away.

Gasp. Gulp. Gosh. 8 hours?

Where else can you go to buy underpriced woks?

Or cute canisters to store your excess chia seeds?

Or the most adorable cookie cutters EVER.

I see Gingermoose in my future.

In the meantime, I’m going to be saving my ginger muffins from a certain squirrel set on hoarding my baked goods for the winter.

Recipe to come soon!

Cutest Cookie Cutters you’ve seen?! Or if you could design some, what would they be?

Jessica has an adorable mini Noah’s Ark set that I absolutely loooove! And if I could create them, I would make ones of the animals from Narnia like Aslan, Reepicheep, Mr. Tumnus, the Beavers, Rumblebuffin, Puzzle the Donkey, Bree and Hwin and some others, too!
