My Story

Home is not the same for everyone. But this is the way we make mine. I have a stuffie and his name is Sonny. He's important to me because my mom got him at build-a-bear when she was 19 and when she got him she put this bubblegum scent inside him. He has always been a piece of our family. The reason he's a big part of my family is because my mom got it before she had me and on my 2nd birthday she gave him to me and I've had him ever since. Plus in my most magical memories Sonny is there. But there's more than that… I have 4 pets and they are a big part of my family. My older dog rojo he's fierce and strong. He would do anything to protect us. My other dog Julian, he's a cuddler. He would lay down and cuddle for hours. I have 2 cats Brooklyn and Gambino always keeping me warm. My heart is big but my home makes it bigger… My sisters and I have been to a lot of things but family game night is one of the best nights in my home because it's the only time my family is together. I have a lot of family that live in my home: my aunt, my uncle, my grandma, my 2 sisters, my mom, my dad and me. I do a lot of things separately with my family. But I like family game night the best because we are all together playing monopoly on my kitchen table all together in my home. That is what home means to me.
