Kicking off summer and it always take me back to days when I slept on our front porch swing surrounded by piles of library books and comfy pillows.
Going back home looks much different these days but I will be going home soon-in 2 weeks actually! So in honor of that trip and where I am from, I am sharing the link to a blog post from a few years ago where I used the “Where I’m from” poem format to share a slice of where I come from.
Please enjoy my poem at the link below (It’s honestly one of my favorite posts ever.)and feel free to write your own. It’s a lovely way to reflect and remember where you’re from.

You included the 5 senses. Now I’m wondering what your mother’s lotion smells like. Happy trails!

It smelled like Avon’s Skin So Soft lotion or a lotion from Avon called Silicone Glove. Baby powdery in a way. I’ll always remember those scents.

I love the anticipation of a trip “home.” Growing up, I always heard others anticipate “vacation” in the summer, but for us it was “going down home.” (Eastern KY) I went to your link for your poem, too. Loved it! Here is a link to mine:
