The Heart of the Home

I think I recall hearing a saying one time about the Kitchen being the heart of the home.  That is not the truth in my home.

In my home the heart is the dining room table.  It would likely be the kitchen table, but our kitchen isn't laid out in a way that can accommodate a table.  Regardless, it is our table that is the heart of our home.

Why do I say this you may ask?

Well that's an easy question to answer.  It is the place where we gather as a family.  It is where we learn.  It is where we feast.  It is where we play and create.

In our home, the table is where we sit down and eat our holiday meals, and our daily meals.  It is where we sit and talk.

In our home, the table is where the pie dough gets rolled out.

In our home, the table is where we gather with family and friends to enjoy a game or two.

But also, in our home, the table is where our 4 year old sits to create her many crafts.

Yes, my table is old.  It was made in the 1920's.  Almost everything in this house is old...that's how I like it.  You buy a 1902 model house, I decorate it with old furniture.  Simply due to its age it would have so many stories to tell.

It's often covered with glitter glue and sparkles...sometimes it's cluttered, but it is where we can focus on being a family, thus the heart of our home!


What is the heart of your home?
