I should be depressed, but I am not. This is Home, and it is those who I love that have made it so.

So true, and much better than saw dust:)
Again, a lovely post. Thank you for sharing your heart...and home!
My mom's bed was our trampoline. We fell and hit the coffee table too much in the living room, lol!
Your home is LIVED IN, and that's how it should be.
BTW, my cabinets are booby-trapped, heehee!
A Lovely lived in place called home:)
Hey Rayna ~~ my first visit to your blog ~ I'm so glad to meet you !
I noticed that you use the drabble form for your posts . Well , I love drabble writing and I'm part of a small drabble group . The hostess posts a prompt every Monday and we all hop around to check out our fellow-drabblers and their contributions . It's loads of fun ! I actually call myself a "drabble junkie" LOL !! I HAVE to have my weekly fix !

Thank you for seeing the beauty in the every day home . . . the kind that most of us live in, when we aren't expecting company.
I knew you'd recognize the love.
Home is our haven; I love that you can see beyond. Some can't...I can and always have. Happy you enjoy your family! @>----
I understand completely!
Those are signs of love!
Rayna, immaculate homes possess no personality!
What a lovely, vivid picture of a lived-in, active household. Be proud! I love the name of your blog...I'm now a follower.
You almost described our home before my children left. I've never learnt to be neat and struggle to conform to that vision of what I 'should' be. But I've finally learnt NOT to apologise for dust and messiness, our loving welcome is enough for those who care.Sue@JumpingAground (alliteration & drabbles)

Whoa! Yep. That's a home! Well it would be familiar to me at any rate. Only maybe we have more dog hair. We have tonnes of dog hair this time of year...
Both you and Patricia Stotley wrote about home...how much fun this a to zedder thingy is!

I agree! My home wouldn't be much fun if it was clean but empty of kids.
Very well said Rayna. If you do not have home you have nothing to ground you.
That is most definitely home. A home filled with love and caring.

This is how a home should be, a place where children are welcome. There must be much joy in your home.
Sounds like life after having kids... we have three boys ourselves
Yes! This is home...loved and put to good use!!
Love this drabble!

I love it! My house is similar and I can enjoy it at the moment because 2/3 children are asleep.
A beautifully health attitude to chaos :-)
So true. I like to see a house with evidence of love for something other than total order. I feel much more welcome in the chaos of love.
Home is where the mess is!
Have you ever seen those plaques that say, "God Bless This Mess"?
I've always felt that a home is meant to be lived in and not a perfectly orderly museum-like environment. Kids might become pretty neurotic if they were held to those high of standards.
