Since we got married, my husband and I have talked incessantly
about getting a dog – we’ve spent way too much time in pet stores playing with
puppies just to satisfy our furry frenzy, not mention stalking dog rescue sites
by the day. We plan finally adopt one this summer, but one of my concerns is
leaving a dog home alone all day so it was great timing when we were contacted
by DogVacay, a company who provides a safe home away from home when you’re in need of
pooch patrol.
The team at DogVacay asked me to share about my “home away from home,” some place that still provides that feeling of comfort and happiness.
My
home away from home is coincidentally my second home, our lake house in Wisconsin. My family purchased this house when I was 12 years old so at
the time, my friends and (ever-changing list) of boy crushes took precedence in my life, so I remember having a huge case of #FOMO the first year or so we spent weekends there (looking back, I didn't realize how good I had it to be spending time there).
Winter nights by the fireplace with a deer
outside your window and Baileys in your cup
The annual 4th of July party (and parade!)
The hours spent together re-telling funny stories
Visits to the best location on the lake
Game nights
followed with S’mores by the fire
An atmosphere that allows EVERYBODY to relax ;)
I am blessed to have a place where we can escape from life’s stresses but more so, I have come to realize that home is not about where, but who. I am so lucky to share it with the family I call mine (oh, and those sunsets that I can't get enough of)...
this is nice, i enjoy reading this post....i wish we have a home away from home too
