The heart of my home has always been anywhere in my house that my family spends time together. Sometimes it’s the living room and sometimes it’s the kitchen.  Sometimes it’s the entire family, squished in one bed, carrying on for hours without a care in the world. Other times, it’s just the five of us making dad’s favorite no bake cookies so that we can have them all to ourselves. It just all depends on what’s happening and where it’s taking place. I have so many fond memories from every room in our house that I can’t even begin to choose one place in particular…and that- my kids will vouch for.

We moved into our apartment when my youngest was just three months old- she is now six and a half. We’ve gone through some pretty rough times in those years and also, some pretty spectacular ones. Every room in this house is filled with the fondest of memories and not one of them is worth ever forgetting. We have shed many tears, shared a trillion laughs and we’ve managed to go through it all- together.

We may not be able to buy our kids all the cool and expensive things they want, but when it comes to family time- we will gladly share it with them. Some of our memories include having pancakes for dinner and leftover pizza for breakfast the following morning because we “want to”.  Memories like sitting with the kids and sharing our childhood memories with them…they always seem to get a kick out of hearing about when we (dad and I) were kids- it’s like they can’t ever imagine seeing us as a kid or something (?).

In the end, the heart of our home is always going to be-us…the kids, my husband and I. We grow together, support each other and love unconditionally, always.

How about you? Where’s the heart of your home?

I want to leave you with a video of and for my family. I hope you like it and take a moment to let me know what the heart in your home is.

UPDATE: If any of you are wondering what I will be doing with my old washer and dryer, should I win…I plan on throughing the washer away or finding a mechanic that will fix it (motor’s about had it and I have to use a small registry to hold the door shut). I will be giving my dryer (a year old) to a friend in need by passing it forward, or to an organization, church or someplace like this that could use it. I thank you all for leaving such wonderful comments and all who frequent Blog Fully. Without you, I would have no reason to continue writing!
