The total amount of stuff availablein the store is overwhelming. My 13 year old was excited to get new lamps for her dresser, and they even made it home without getting broken.

Girl showing shelves
My 17 year old had to make an excruciating decision – what color desk chair should she get? Predictably, after minutes of agonizing she ended up picking boring black.

Here is the car loaded up with all our stuff, luckily the seats fold down. Now that we are home we have to put together a desk and desk chair, and hang up some curtains.
