What Home Means to Me

Home is a place where you can smell the scent of the cookies from the kitchen when you walk in. Where you can hear your dog barking and your siblings playing. Home is where you can smell your favourite meal being made in the kitchen. In the kitchen is where you can smell your Dad making pancakes or crepes. A house is a building with 4 walls and a roof, but a home is more than that. In a home there are hallways with framed pictures of you and your siblings. A home is where you play games with your family and take your dog outside to play with you, also where you have parties and barbecues in the summer. A house is a place to live, but your home is where your family makes memories. A house may have a backyard to play in but in a home you play with your family, like in the winter you have snowball flights or go sledding. Also in the summer playing soccer or volleyball. In your room, you have your warm bed with a soft mattress and soft pillows that feel like clouds. A home is not just a building, it's where your family is.
