I feels like we have been waiting for this season forever. With it's days full of promise and hope of new life. The little birds are coming back and flowers are in bloom. And I can just hear the "Spring cleaning" lists being composed. Which makes me think...
What is a HOME?
Merriam- Webster defines a home as:
1a: one's place of residence : domicile b: house
2: the social unit formed by a family living together
3: a familiar or usual setting
We call our home Indigo Plantation. This is where we do life. Where we "kick it". It's the place that beckons us when we are tired and the place where we party. Our little square on the map.
This is my 3rd time being a stay- at- home mom but this time it's for real. My 2 little girls keep me busy with the work of home. It hasn't been the easiest or smoothest transition either. I try to keep our home clean, safe and fun... but I'm tired! I have been leaning towards a more natural and simple way of doing things in the last couple years. Cleaning, cooking, etc. I find myself thinking of how I've blown it every night and thanking God for another day to get it right every new morning.
But our home is just right for us. Everyone has what they need (and then some). The 5 1/2 people who dwell here have a little space of their own. And hopefully everyone feels loved, accepted and safe when they come through the door.
How do you and your family make a home? Leave a comment and let me know!
