Home Love Hammock Style

This lovely gift was a 21st wedding anniversary present from my lovely husband. 

I absolutely love this thing.. For many reasons... 

My hammock brings me peace.  

Why?? 

Because I love to be outside and be in nature.  

So everyday weather and schedule permitting I try and get on my hammock. 

It's bring me closer to my children. 

They will see me out there and come out and lay with me on it. 

From my 17 year old on down to my 5 year old. 

My 17 year old and I have had the best chats just laying and swinging on that thing. 

My youngest daughters 13, and soon to be 10 will bring their books out and  just veg and read with me. 

My 5 year old will crawl up on that and just snuggle and chat with me, eventually giving way to the peacefulness of outside and fall asleep in my arms. My grandbabies will cuddle with grammy  and let me read or just hold them. 

I have even had my best girlfriends come over and join me on that thing and we are able to relax and freely chat about children, husbands and life. 

what a blessing! 

But the best of it, is when my husband is home. And he joins me out there. We lay on thing together and just chat, sometimes we're just quiet and listen to the sounds of nature around us. And we have been known to fall asleep out there. 

Last week he and I were canooodled up on there, a beautiful gentle breeze was blowing and we both passed out in each others arms. And slept. 

It's comforting to have this man of over 20 years still hold me in his arms. 

My life like most of you is busy and full with children, a husband to care for, volunteering and working. 

I am so blessed to be able to enjoy the down time with my family on that big blue piece of fabric that hangs from a tree. 

this is building memories. 

this is a part of home. 

The woman who makes a sweet, beautiful home, filling it with love and prayer and purity , is doing something better than anything else her hands could find to do beneath this skies.
