Samsung Appliances Blogging Contest: TwitterMoms Biggest Prize EVER!

Samsung USASamsung Home Appliances and TwitterMoms have teamed up to create an easy blogging contest that centers around one simple question:

“Where Is the Heart of Your Home?”
bar1
The heart of a home is generally a special place where family, friends and loved-ones gather; where memories are made, shared and fondly revisited; and a place where you come together as a family.

Samsung USASamsung asked TwitterMoms to participate by answering and elaborating on a blog post about “Where Is the Heart of Your Home?”. Here’s the best part…one blogger who enters the contest and gets the most comments on their blog posts will get a free Samsung Washer (WF448AAP) and Dryer (DV448AEP)! It’s the biggest, most valuable giveaway that the TwitterMoms site has been able to secure for its community of blogging moms! WOOT!

I think its a great, creative way for participants and readers alike to have a chance to pause and reflect in this question, because it helps keep each and every one of us grounded and grateful for our many Multiple Blessings! I want to wish all of the other TwitterMoms and Bloggers the best of luck! You are all so inspiring!

“Where Is the Heart of Your Home?”
As for me, I could easily say that the heart of my home is the kitchen-- mostly because my DH and I love to toil in there. Any given weeknight you'll find us huddled and harried, with all of the kids pressed close and tight against us at the counter. Our 5 kids (+2 adorable nephews) are inquisitive, eager and impatient--wanting to contribute in some way with the dinner preparation, often stepping on each others toes. I could easily say that the heart of my home is the dining room table-- where our family comes together as a unified entity, basking in the glory of the Lord who continues to amaze and provide for us everyday. I could easily say that the heart of my home is my bedroom--(save for the sanctity between any espoused couple) it happens to be a safe haven for our children who know our door is always open with an open ear, a place where sibling disputes are rectified, a place where they know that they can lay there heads at night when sour dreams or stuffy noses befall them. I could easily say that the heart of my home is the coffee table in my den--which happens to be where the family congregates in the evening to read, do homework, play board games, conjure up creative pictures, or resting Mommy's weary feet . This same table reminds us of when the twins and each of my nephews relied on its sturdiness for support in their first toddling steps. These places and inanimate objects each could aptly describe the heart of my home. In all honesty, they would be lonely and desolate places and objects without the significance of my family and loved ones to share them with. My family and loved ones are those who help make my home extraordinary. So, with that I say to you that the heart of my home is my family.

  1. The heart of my home? Gosh. Maybe the living room, curling up on the couch with family and a cup of tea? Or the kitchen, laughing and cooking a big meal?

  3. I like the den; where we all collapse after the day's work is done to relax and hang out with each other.

  4. The heart of our home is for sure the living/family room. We are all so busy, sports, work, homework, errands, events, ect.... but when we get together for quality "together time" it is always in the living room, where life slows down and we just enjoy eachother!

  5. Aww that was beautiful! And I can honestly say that I wish I lived in your home, lol. Sounds like you have a great unity there. So nice.

  7. I beleive the heart of a home is your kitchen. That is where you spend the most time with your family. Between cooking and just hanging out with your family and helping doing homework with the kids. I know that is where I spend most of my time with the my family.

  9. Hey Tanya!

    Good luck! Thank you for my re-tweet :) The heart of our home I would say is our master bedroom. However I think it is wherever all the family can be together at once. Unfortunately it's in my small bedroom most the time lol :( I vote for family/couch room. Husband loves the bedroom though so....

  17. The heart of my home would probably be the kitchen although it s a tough choice! I love to cook/bake for friends and family. Each Christmas I produce hundreds of Christmas cookies to give as gifts.. not easy in a tiny apartment kitchen! I can't wait until I get my own place and can buy real sized appliances lol.

  21. without a doubt the heart of the home in this house is the Living Room, eat, play, watch tv and there's someone always found to be sleeping on the couch in the a.m.

    ReplyDelete
  22. Tanya, what a great post! I guess the heart of my home, though chaotic is probably just being in the living room with my husband and my son & 1 or 5 of my son's friends, many of which who call me Mom. It warms my heart to have my family & extended family with me on a daily basis.
    Thank you for sharing your heart Tanya! Much Love,

  32. The heart of your home seems really nice :) Mine would be the living room where all the fun happens with friends and family.

  33. Our kitchen! I'm blessed with a large one with an island in the center & it is where my kids, their friends, our friends, really ANYONE who stops over, gathers. Although formal meals are eaten in the dining room, most of our breakfast, lunch, snacks, chat fests, coffee & tea time, family discussions, etc., almost always occur around that island. My oldest daughter is away at college & will sometimes call & tell me she misses being home and sitting at the island with me chatting. That comment warms my heart & tells me that the memories made at that island are going to last a lifetime!

  36. I'd have to say the heart of my home is either the kitchen living room or around the computer. I'm leaning more towards the kitchen, but the others are also very popular.

    ReplyDelete
  37. The heart of my home is my master bedroom. It is where I unwind and reflect on the day. I can read and have a few moments of peace and quiet.

  38. The heart of my home is definitely our living room/dining room combo. All the fun happens there. Lots of memories, smiles, and downtime. --Michelle, blogattoday[-at]gmaildotcom

  40. The living room- it's where we spend most of our time together! savethemasses@hotmail.com

  41. The heart of our home is the living room/dining room area. Our kitchen is too small to let anyone else in, but it opens onto the "greatroom", where we all hang out and visit.

    ReplyDelete
  42. Definitely the kitchen! We all love our kitchen, since we built our house - we were able to design our kitchen (and the rest of the house!)... so it is truly 'made for us' We just love being in the kitchen!

  43. The heart of our home is the living room. Its where we watch football, movies and our favorite tv shows. that is where everyone always congregates and relaxes.

  44. The heart of our home is the kitchen. Everyone always ends up there.

  45. The heart of my home is dinner together. We talk to our 4 year old about preschool (this is her 1st year of school), talk about whatever the kids want to talk about and enjoy each other's company!

    ReplyDelete
  46. The heart of my home is wherever my friends and family are...be it in the kitchen, the den or the backyard.

  47. Heart of my home is the kitchen. Being Italian we tend to associate food with love, stress relief, comfort.

  48. The heart of our home is in our kitchen, around the table, together. We have 3 teens still @ home, 1 who has gone and married, but we still all gather round the table and spend time together.

    ReplyDelete
  49. I would actually have to say that the Heart of My Home is my bedroom. My computer is there and so we congregate there to talk, sing out the window at the neighbors and have picnics on my California king bed!
