It's in the Little Things

After searching for a subject for today's post, I thought long and hard about how I see my home. Every home has a sort of personality and you can find out a lot about someone through the small things that make up their home. Not the big things that make it a house a couch, a t.v. or the utilities. It's the ivory climbing up the wall, it's the decorations but up meticulously or the art and images on the wall. It's the dishes chosen by the owner and the smell of freshly baked cookies running through the air. It's the sound of laughter and the condensation on the bottle of a beer bottle on the porch. The warm sunshine pouring through a window and smiles of your closest friends in the backyard. It's those little things that make my house a home. 

What's yours like?

Take the time to look around an appreciate all you have instead of wishing on things you don't have. Enjoy the ones who love you and spend some time with them. Grab a drink, sit down in the sun and laugh. Barbecue some good ol' food and have a good time. Ignore the time and let the sun set. Leave the phone in your pocket and laugh with your favourite people. Keep it simple and just enjoy it all.
