(Kelly) "Home"

Good afternoon! And happy Monday. I can honestly say, happy Monday now, because I no longer dislike mondays, because I am now on maternity leave!!!! So it really doesn't matter what day of the week it is, lol, I get to be at home with my little girl, until the baby arrives, then I will get to be at home with my girls!!! I can't wait!
I have a layout to share that I made for the April 1st challenge at Once Upon A...Sketch. There's a beautiful sketch, and the journaling prompt is "Home." I started sifting through a pile of pictures that I've had sitting on my desk, and this one stood out to me. I have scrapped this one (or one very similar) before, but I felt this perfectly portrayed my idea of "home." We have moved 3 times in the last 2.5 years, and we do not own our home, so it really isn't ours. But I have learned that we adapt, and make wherever it is we settle, feel like home, because we are together and we are happy, and that is what "home" is, to me.
Thanks for taking a look, have a great afternoon!!!

I used the beautiful Bonjour collection from Kaisercraft.
