Monday MEME - My favorite part of my house




With Supahmommy and Mommybrain.


Trying to pick out my favorite part of my house is like trying to pick my favorite child....There is really no contest. My favorite part of my house is, without question, the backyard.

It was the backyard that sold us on this house. We live in a very dense area and to have a large backyard is an enormous bonus. Not only that, but our backyard abuts a wooded area with a small stream. I can't tell you how often and for how long my boys have poked around in that stupid little creek.

Finally, our backyard is home to many other outdoor friends. We have a whole herd of deer that live back there as well as foxes, turtles, snakes, skunks, possums, squirrels, frogs, owls and probably a ton of other stuff we have never been lucky enough to see.


The backyard is like a giant extra room on our house and I wouldn't even trade it for a bigger kitchen.

  1. How lucky your little boys are to have a backyard like that. Can you imagine the stories and memories they'll have growing up?

  2. The house where I grew up - the house where my parents still live - has the most amazing backyard with tons of trees ... we call it "The Woods" and I spent countless hours of my childhood building forts and creating a world that belonged to me and the neighbor kids. It was awesome!
