I've said it before, every home has within it's walls a story. A story about your family, your comings and goings, your triumphs and tragedies. Think about it... there's a lot of stuff going on in the walls of the place you call home.
I love this idea I found on Pinterest. One blogger wrote down the story of how their family came to be in the home. Include when you bought it, any remodeling you did and even funny stories to remember. Was this your first home? Did your husband carry you over the threshold? When you are completed your creative account of your home, hide it behind a switch plate and it becomes like a time capsule of sorts.
I was thinking it would be fun to take this idea even farther; write a story about each room in the house. Have the kids write about their bedroom. The things they love about it and how they spend their time. You will find that the rooms take on a character for themselves. It's a fun project for a family to tackle. Don't forget to include interesting facts about the yard too! Do you gather together every Sunday afternoon for lemonade on the front porch swing?
What would the walls of your home say about you?
