Hello, my name is Sherri and I am a home addict.

I have to admit I love being home. I am a home addict. I wonder if there is a twelve step program for home addicts? Today, I bought these fall salt and pepper shakers, they are  so cute and 60% off at JC Penny's!!Just setting them on the counter makes me smile. That did it for me.......soon I was planning dinner,  going through recipes for a dinner with friends in a couple of weeks, and enjoying life. Everything in my life just slowed down. My mind cleared and I noticed my outlook on everything seemed brighter! Really! I don't think these shakers have magic powers, they just reminded me of my passion. Home.

Home is the magical place for me. It was fun creating my home for my husband and our three boys, all of which are grown and gone, and it's still fun today. Currently, the aroma of homemade chili and rice is drifting through the house. Nope, it's not cold here, we Texans are know to cook chili around this time of year in hopes that the cool weather will come down here and stay awhile. The table is waiting to be set, and soon my dear husband will be home and we will enjoy the rest of the evening together, Maybe even eat outside on the patio, if the mosquitoes aren't too bad and unwind and share stories of our day. Home.... one of the best gifts God has given us!
 So, if you are feeling a little down, maybe making a quick  run by Penny's to  pick up these shakers will inspire you the way they did me today.  Keep in mind though, I am a home addict.
Blessings,
Sherri

  2. Really Sherri....I'm not just saying this....THIS WAS A GREAT BLOG POST! You are a natural & those shakers are adorable. They made me smile too. Now that Zach & I have our own place I'm very excited to decorate for the seasons. I actually purchased a Better Homes & Gardens Magazine today instead of US Weekly! lol
