I am a homebody, and that's always been fine with me. Give me an option of a night on the town or pizza and a movie at home, home it is! It's a funny thing, I can pass up a pair of shoes, a handbag or clothes shopping, but a warm throw for our corner reading chair, or a bag of dark chocolate cocoa, for welcoming guest- yes to that!
Home is everything to me. Our home by no means, is a fancy one, it's rather lived in. We homeschool at an old farm table in the kitchen, we roll cookies and bread out, on a rickety butcher block. And if you were to stop by {especially during this season} the tea pot would be simmering, books would be sprawled all over, our teenagers might be bickering and fairy lights glow, from many corners.
I don't worry if you spill your drink or mind if you wear your shoes, it's a comfortable home, and there is always room for one more, at our dinner table.
When I saw Skiingrn1 photo, I felt at home. The quilt, the book, this photo warmed my soul and welcomed me in, that's what home is all about for me.
Warmly,
christina {soul aperture}

christina, you paint a lovely picture of your home with your words. it sounds like a wonderful and welcoming place!
Wonderful post -- made me all tingly inside, and I so want to visit you, Christina -- that hot chocolate with those marshmallows looks amazing!
Your home sounds so welcoming and comfortable! That book in the second photo is so good! Hope you enjoyed it Skiingrn1!
Oh, those marshmallows are so inviting on this cool fall morning. Works of art. And there's nothing better than snuggling up to a good book.
Sounds like a home I would love to visit - I'm such a homebody too. I like that lived in feel...I feel cozy just thinking about it.
Your photo and writing are comfort food for the soul.
christina, the warm glow of your home, photo, and personality envelopes us today! All lovely. Homebody - me too:) Skiingrn1's image is a perfect match for your post. Wrapped in a quilt, reading a book, that's what I was doing last night!
Beautiful post! Words and photos. Your home sounds warm and inviting.
Christina, all your photos of home make me feel warm and cozy:)
Thank you all so much! It's cold and rainy here, and I am hiding under a quilt with a good book.
xo
Christina, what a wonderful pairing and beautiful words...and yes, warming as we prepare for the cold of winter.
Your picture is making me dream of s'mores. I have a fire pit on the patio and that would be a fun activity to do with the grandchildren the next time they come over. Thank you for selecting my image to pair with. It's interesting how things have changed in such a short time - I've switched to an e-reader and suspect that having one of those in the picture wouldn't have the same warm feeling.
Oh christina! I can't wait to come over for tea! Love this pairing and your words, sigh, I'm on my way : )
