Food for Family Thought

My one friend’s house was fancy and filled with toys, but we never played there. Another friend’s house was simple, but we crowded into his living room daily with his many siblings and parents who lit up with joy when we entered their home. How welcoming do you make your home? Is there more that you can do?

If you could add any one thing to your home to make it truly spectacular-something that would amaze everyone who visited you-what would you add?
