My Dream House

I spend a lot of time thinking about it.  Once I drew a picture of it - maybe not the best representation, though!  You know how on the HGTV house-finding shows the buyers always have a wish list?  Here's my family's:

*3+ bedrooms.  Bruce's & mine, Emmie's, and one for Future Baby.  A guest bedroom would be spectacular.

*2+ bathrooms.  Because not having to wait/going in after someone has gone #2 makes everyone's day better.

*A fenced-in yard so we could get a dog and just let it out the back patio door on cold winter mornings.  Also so that the kids have a safe place to play.

*Bruce: A sports den.  Or, a basement with a bar for him to show off his pint glass collection.

*Me: A basement to go to during severe weather warnings.

*Me: Virginia Woolf said all a woman really needs is "A Room of One's Own."  More than anything, I long for a little study with a desk at which to write and work, where I'd have shelves to display my books like they deserve.

Right now I've cleared a workspace in my in-laws' dining room.  A.k.a Minnie's bath house.
 I want to believe my dream can be reached one day.  What's on your wish list?  Comment below - I'd love to hear from you!

  1. Thank you for not saying the two words that make me cringe the most: 'man cave'.

    Pool + yard with grass and lots of trees + rooms to play and move and sleep + ginormous kitchen that overlooks said pool and trees = DREAM HOUSE.

  2. I'm all about the man cave! Just a place to veg out, watch sports, and play video games! Even a real cave would suffice as long as there was a flat screen.

    1. Well, whoever you are (I'm assuming you're a man), call it what you want, your dream home feature would be a pretty cool place to chill, regardless of gender!

      You will invite me over, won't you?

    2. Er, Bruce wants me to say, "You will invite US over, won't you?" ;-)
