52 Lists Week #12; The Things That Feel Like Home


This Week's list assignment; the things that feel like home was another challenge.  Again that literal side of my brain kept thinking that home felt like home and not much else.  

But once I let it fester for a bit I came up with a few more ideas.  I realized that home feels comfortable, I feel loved when I'm there and surrounded by my family.  Home is where I am free to be me and where I can relax and rest. 
Here are the things that feel like home:

  • Being held in my husbands arms
  • Eating food I remember my mom making when I was a child
  • Climbing into my bed after a long day
  • When I'm at peace in nature; kayaking down a brook or hiking through the woods
  • Reclining on a comfortable sofa or chair
  • Curling up in front of a fire with a comfy blanket
  • Watching my boys faces light up with smiles 
  • Holidays spent with family; no matter where we are

    There is nothing like crawling into bed at the end of the day!

    Yes, childhood foods...I cooked a comfort food for my husband the other day and he was so excited that it was just like his mom used to make it! I used to think that idea was silly, but now that I'm "all grown up" I realize it's more about the memories and comfort those memories bring.

      It really is. Funny how food and music can take us back in time.

    Being away from home for over a year, this list was actually hard for me. I've had to make home where I was allowed to be with my health. Love your list!

      I can't even imagine what it must have felt like to have been away from home for so long. Hopefully your health will continue allow you to live in your home now.

Favorite TV Shows Growing Up in the 80's and early 90's

Do you remember the TGIF lineups on Friday nights? I can remember planning sleepovers and time with friends around TV Show lineups of our favorite shows... or else trying to set the VCR to record our favorite shows if we weren't going to be home. And through the years I had SO MANY favorites! Growing pains aired in 1985 which put me around age 8 and it stayed on the air until I was 15 or so; I'm pretty sure most people in my age group watched mostly for Kirk Cameron and all his antics.  I still have a soft spot for family sit-coms!  The Facts of Life aired when I was just 2  and stayed on the air until I was 11 so I'm sure the episodes I remember so fondly were either some of the later ones and then reruns shown later on when I was old enough to watch from the beginning. I think everyone would have loved an Edna Garret in their lives.   Benson another sitcom that began airing when I was just 2 and was done by the time I was 9 (another one I must have watched mainly through

Dollar Store Candy Cane Wreath

Today I am linking up with some fellow bloggers for a Dollar Store craft challenge.  I don't often participate in these challenges since I try to stay away from our local Dollar Stores; I find they can be quite dangerous for me!  I knew this was the perfect time to find some inexpensive holiday decorations though and I just LOVE how my wreath turned out!  I hope you stop by and see what the other hosts are sharing. Meet this month's co-hosts! Across the Blvd | Purple Hues & Me This Autoimmune Life | Our Unschooling Journey Domestic Deadline | Sew Crafty Crochet Stone Cottage Adventures | Sum of Their Stories | Two Chicks & a Mom I bought the candy cane wreath base and a few rolls of mesh (not knowing how many I'd need I bought waaay to many; I only ended up using one white roll and one red roll. Using some chenille stems I already had on hand I attached the mesh to the wreath base trying to alternate the white

Things That Make Me Laugh

I loved the challenge of this week's list for our 26 lists link up.  I don't know about you but I really need to laugh more lately.  It's such a great stress reliever. 1.  Books-- I love a good funny book that makes me laugh out loud.  I haven't read one in a while but if you have any recommendations I'm all ears.  The last book I can remember making me laugh was the Un-Honeymooners. 2  The boys being silly. 3.  Watching shows like America's Funniest Videos or Family Feud. 4. My husband.  Most people don't realize it but he's actually pretty funny and often makes me laugh. 5.  Whenever my sisters/ family get together and we get to reminiscing (particularly if my Aunt Elaine is around) we end up laughing so hard at all the old family stories that we are all in tears by the end of the night.  It's fabulous. 6. Movies like Mom's Night Out, Christmas Vacation, and Grown Ups make me laugh out loud. 7.  When my boys were youn
