I couldn’t help but think about my parents as I read this post. Our home was always a place where those that entered felt at “home”. And now, as an adult, I always feel renewed and refreshed in some way after visiting. Always warm and inviting, always full of love and laughter… even during difficult times. I pray that my children will feel that way about OUR HOME one day!!

Rob, you are too kind. Today, I ran to your house and you comforted my tormented soul. Thank you for being there and for listening.

Peeps the house is as cute as you can imagine. She has more Spring decor in one corner than I have in a box some where in the basement! She is amazing. Her coffee is pretty darn good, with creamer coming out of a little ceramic kitten. :0)

My husband and I have been talking about this lots lately – we so want our home to be a place where our children WANT to come back to when they are older, a place where they feel comfortable, safe and know they can always be themselves. We also want our friends to feel this way. Your legacy series is really helping us create this type of home. Thank you.

I want Ruthie’s address!!!!!

Seriously, my mother-in-law had a home like that. I would sit at her kitchen table and watch as she effortlessly prepared a meal while talking to me. She was a very special person.
You Miss Robin are a very Special Person as well. You are always thinking of others and how to make things sweeter, easier and better for them. Your home is a welcoming place where you can feel the love when you come inside. Thank you for the love you show so openly to everyone, be it family or strangers.

My neighbor is sooo much like this. I am over there almost every afternoon

With the boys getting older and not needing me quite as much I find I am getting better at welcoming all who come to my door. I definitely have a home where the most wild of boys can come and hang out at and their parents can feel completely fine with them playing at. Hockey is okay, laser tag, roller blades, golf…

This is fantastic, Gigi… I can only imagine the memories that Elliot will have of your home as she grows up.

I REALLY want my home to be a safe haven for my friends. Their lives are crazy and busy and stressful, and I want them to walk into my home and know they can put their feet up and relax without pretense or worry. In my home, I want them to know that who they are is always enough… no expectations or requirements.

But they should know by now to bring their own food.

My friend Katie’s house was that safe place for me when I was growing up… not because anyone waited on us or fed us, but because we could just be. Curl up in blankets and watch movies and be ourselves… no expectations.
