H.O.M.E. Sweet Home by KimberlyClaire

If I had to pick my favorite place to be, it would be my home.  I love to travel and have been to a lot of places, but I always love to come back home. My home is filled with great memories and being here makes me feel warm, safe, and secure. It's not just because I love decorating my home, it's because great things have happened here and continue to happen here. Making a home is one of the most important things a Mom can do.

Raising 4 daughters here has brought me a lot of joy.  There have been birthday celebrations, family dinners, and high school & college graduation parties. Recently, wedding festivities that added a son-in-law to our family have happened here. It's not just about the celebrations, great friendships have developed here. Lively conversation and heartfelt talks have happened here. (Sign: Home Goods. Similar here.)
 

 


It's not always perfect and peaceful. Having a very active Jack Russell named "Max" and  a Shih Tzunamed "Lexus" can be quite loud and chaotic some days. But I wouldn't change a thing when my dogs lay in my lap at night. Those moments make it all worthwhile. A home is not always about the good times, it's about the bad times too. It's about how you get through the bad times. (Pumpkins: old. Pinecone candle: Crate & Barrel, similar here. Candy Corn candle: old, similar here.)











 

One of the greatest things about my home is that my daughters still love to come here. That just makes me love it even more. Yes, my favorite place to be is my home. The main reason that I love my home is because my best friend lives here....my husband. And that alone makes me not want to be anywhere else. This is why I love to be Home Sweet Home. -by KimberlyClaire

    This really struck me. It is obvious what a wonderful job you did creating a home for your family. I know Crossley misses being closer, and is always looking forward to her next trip home. I hope that someday my kids will feel the same way about coming home to me!
