who finds peace in his home."

I LOVE home and am thankful to have a place of our own. It is not our dream home and is definitely cramped, but we love it here and feel blessed. We have cozy couches, pictures in abundance, books, pillows, light and love.
I love being in the cozy!
Our small, but homey kitchen.
A fridge filled with food!
Laundry at home, I never take this for granted.
My gloriously messy room of creativity,
I spend most of my time in here.
Every night when we say our family prayer, no matter which one of us is saying it, we always express our thanks for our home, for warm beds and food. I think it's sweet that even the kids appreciate these things. It's a luxury to take them for granted, but it's a blessing not to.
**Do you love being home?
Are you thankful for it daily?**

This is a BEAutiful post! You have a lovely home & family.
what a blessing :)
I love this idea of Gratitude Week! Every post has been so great...the gospel, family, and now home. So much to be thankful for. I love the pictures of your home, it is so warm and inviting. What blessings!
I love your tidy loveliness. I am a true Home lover as well - a huge blessing.
This is a great post! Your love for your home comes through often.
I always love to see pics of your home on your blog. I love my home now and have tried to make all of my places "home" over the years, from a 700 square foot apartment to what I have now. I cried my eyes out when we moved from our last home - it was CRAMPED but I loved it and all the memories made there.
The kids and I volunteered at the food bank last weekend and I'm thinking about doing a Gratitude for my Fridge contents post.
I did Faith today.
There's nothing better than being at home...and yours Jill truly looks so warm and inviting!
With my kids grown and out of the house now, I often feel like mine is cold and empty. Yours looks full of love and activity and that is a blessing to be thankful for!
I love love love being at home.
Probably the only way I could love it more is if it was as neat and tidy as yours always is!
When ever I see pictures of your home it always looks so comfy and welcoming.
What a blessing to create a home like that.
No wonder Betsy enjoys coming to your house... It is so inviting. What time is dinner. :D
I am thankful for everyday, every minute and every second. (As well as so many other things to long to type.)
*I am thankful we connected again!*
What a fun home tour, Jill. Thank you for opening up your home . . . and heart . . . to all of us.
I'm a grateful homebody.
You do have a beautiful home - full of light and love! I would agree that your home is warm and comfortable! I would rather be home more than anywhere else (unless it is at the beach! HA!~)
The photo of your stocked fridge made me crave some strawberries and snap peas! :-)
With the unstable scary market, I am SO Thankful we have a roof over our heads. Great post.
Amen to all three! The Plan of Salvation, Family and Home! I absolutely love, love, love your style and that Kreativity Kingdom you've got there is very desirable! Maybe someday, when I grow up, I will claim a messy corner of my home to call my own. But first, I need to find some creativity to fill it with! Teeheehee!
Love your kitchen. How huuuuge is your fridge?? I'll have to post a picture of mine, dear, so that you can see just HOW MUCH grateful you should be for that big doofer. haha!
I love that you appreciate little things like being able to do your laundry at home. I spent years as a student, and then abroad, traipsing to and from laundrettes in all sorts of hellish weather (I had to CYCLE with my laundry bags balanced on the handle bars in Holland! - I tried hand-washing, but I shrunk too many nice things!).
Sometimes I find myself just running a whole basin of hot, clean water in the kitchen and do think I'm very lucky to have something as basic as that when many don't. Good post, my love.
I've gone without home washer & dryer enough to truly appreciate this one.
I love this post because I can relate to it. I am SO thankful to my brother for letting us live with him, but every single day I think about how much I can't wait to move out next year into our own little place. Where ever we live will probably just be a little apartment, but it will be home just the same, and we will love it.
You have such a cute, cozy, inviting home!
oh this is stunning and simple and perfect.
gratitude week is perfect
Your house is so inviting and cozy and just from the pictures, relaxing. Having a fridge filled with food, a creative room and being able to do laundry at home are for sure things I am grateful for.
