My Amazing Home

My home is a place that is always full of warmth, happiness, and love. Here I feel safe, happy, and relaxed. Every day at home has a special atmosphere that brings joy. In the evening, my mom and I usually cook a tasty and delicious dinner together. I love helping her while the TV turns on in the background. Our whole family loves tea! So, 2 or 3 times a week, we make different delicious treats and candies. There’s this special feeling. When I make tea for my whole family, I grab some blankets and pillows, and we all sit together on the sofa. We drink tea and eat my mom’s homemade cookies or cakes. On the TV, we put a film, and the sweets taste even better. There’s something special about our home. I don’t know how my mom does it, but there’s always a lovely smell of flowers. I love that fragrance. It smells of a real home. In the bathroom it always smells fresh. There are white towels hanging, and the shelves are full of hair, body, and face products. Sometimes when my mom doesn’t see I secretly use them. My room is my special place where I can be myself. It has a window, some house plants, my bed, and lots of toys from different countries. My toy monkey Dana is from Poland, my octopus Carl is from Italy, and my teddy bears are Ukraine. My most favorite teddy bear, Splusha has been with me since I was born. Splusha has traveled with me to every country I’ve been to. I love this toy so much that I can’t sleep without it. No matter where I am it smells like home, makes me happy.
