The Forgotten Room.

We have a room in our home.
I call it the forgotten room.
It is downstairs.
Unused.
It is my favorite room.
How could we forget about it?
Do we live in a mansion?
No.
Just in the pattern of life it has become an island in the house.
It never gets messy.
Which is a tragedy.
It deserves to be used.

Tonight we discovered it again.
We explored.
We enjoyed dinner in it.
Music.
Games.
Books.
Food.
Family.
How could we ever forget this room.
The room I created for creativity and discovery.
that is just down a flight of stairs.
Seriously?

LOVE the bookshelves full of books!! It looks like a wonderfully comfortable room. So glad you've discovered it again. I'm sure many great memories are just waiting to be had there, just like tonight!!
Enjoy....

Hey, that is my bedroom you are talking about! I cannot believe how big the kids are. I showed the girls your blog the other day. They had all sorts of questions about Africa. Love you!

I love this room, too. Mostly b/c it reminds me of Christmas morning since the tree always goes here! Also, I love sleeping down there b/c of all the windows & the super comfortable couch.
