Home. It is meant to be a place of retreat, rest, love, and a shelter from the outside world – a place where you can let your guard down and just be. Some homes feel just like that, and some can be filled with disconnect and indifference. It is never too late to change the climate of our homes. Ask anyone at Queen Homes, featured on our cover, and they will all agree that this amazing custom builder leads the way. In a world that can be challenging, let home be a place where we build each other up. Make a continual effort to teach with love, correct with love, and express love everyday. Take time to enjoy all the small moments with family instead of getting caught up in all the daily tasks that can steal our attention away – to be truly present when spending time with our family instead of dividing our attention with our technology or to-do list. Although we usually aren’t perfect at accomplishing these things, it is worthwhile to strive for it everyday. March is our Home and Design issue. Creating a home that you want to spend all of your time in isn’t easy. The memories that are made within the walls of our home are what lasts regardless of whether our home has the latest trends or if it hasn’t been updated in years. Speaking of walls, what do you do when you get a Hole in the Wall? While it is fun to look at beautiful homes and dream about renovations, we all know that the love we share in our homes is truly what matters most. In this year’s Home issue, we take a peek inside J.chefé's kitchen, sharing with us his delicious Strawberry Bundt Cake recipe. And what's more historic than that famous and colorful Tupperware bowl? Well, we take you down memory lane with that story too! Lastly, we are thankful to Kendall Houlton for the contribution on an exciting home-away-from-home experience in Aspen, Colorado. Ahhhh....From our home to yours, we wish you love, peace and happiness. May you Live Fully, Live Truly, and Live Well!
