House Becomes a Home: Away We Go Contest

Buzz Words: , , ,


If you had asked me a few years ago what home is I probably would have said, "Its my moms house where I eat and sleep." Yes Mama B was a bit of a party girl. I would go out, do my own thing, come home, eat and sleep then get up and do it all over again. Sorry Mama!

Now that I am married and have children what do I define as home? Home takes on a whole new meaning for me since becoming a wife and mother.



Home is where life happens for me. You know the little knick knack signs you can find in gift shops like Cracker Barrel that say "Home is where your heart is"? That is definitely true for me now a days.

I love my husband and 2 boys with all I have. Everything I do is for them. Watching my boys grow up before my eyes and seeing how much Daddy B loves me is more than enough to make our house a home. Our home has celebrated life with the birth of our sons, the lose of loved ones, hosted game night (Mama's time to relax) among many other things. Its not the type of building we live in, where on the map we are located or any thing like that. Its where we are a family living life. As long as I have my husband and children and some type of roof over our heads we will always have not just a house but a home.

Thanks to Focus Theater and twitter moms for the neat little Away We Go Contest. It not only gives me the chance to win a prize but it also lets my readers know a little bit more of the personal side of Mama B. I haven't been to the movies in a good while (adult movie that is) and I'm looking forward to seeing this one!
