No place like home

Hi there, I'm Tatum, and I am going to talk about what home means to me. When I walk in the door the smell of supper floats through the air like you're at a restaurant and this makes me feel hungry. Our chef is Jeff who is my step dad. My grandmother is kind of like a chef too when she visits! My home is a place where we do a lot of cuddling, hugging, kissing, and baking. Sometimes at our house we have a family movie night, especially when my step brother Finley and step sister Gracelyn are home. To me, home is where I feel safe and comfortable. It is where it is OK to be yourself like when you are silly or goofy. In my house, we help each other with feelings like when you are sad, scared, or even angry. Home is where I can talk about anything that bothers me. I am proud of my home and when my room is clean. My family is my mom Amy, my stepdad Jeff, my twin sister Gracie, my step siblings, my cat Houdini, and my dog Cheeko. These are the people I can open up to and feel safe with. They are my home.
