Home is where my kids are.  They are my heart, after all.  Home is Ivy dog lying on the couch with her head on my lap.  It is where the chickens roam free, then cluck when they see me come outside.  Home is wherever I am, wherever I go.  It is everywhere and nowhere.  Home is not a place, but a feeling, a thought, a memory.

What does home mean to you?  Twitter Moms and the makers of the film Away We Go want to know. Be one of the first 40 bloggers to post and win an awesome prize package.  Not one of the first 40?  Why not share what home means to you anyway.  Then get ready to see the movie Away We Go in theaters this month.

A heartfelt comedy directed by Sam Mendes and written by Dave Eggers and Vendela Vida, Away We Go follows one couple’s quest to find a place they can call home. As they travel around the U.S. in order to find a perfect place to start their family, they encounter misadventures and fresh connections with an assortment of relatives and old friends who help them discover “home” on their own terms. In select theatres June 5th, opens nationwide June 26th!

Or were you just there for the commercials?  Come on, you know the ones advertisers pay big bucks to make and air.  Surprisingly we were there for both.  All of us were for the Steelers except the boy (not pictured).  Stephen wanted to cheer on the underdog and he almost saw the upset of the year, thus far.  

We started our Super Bowl Sunday at 5:00 p.m. with an old episode of Wipeout on ABC.  If you have not seen Wipeout you are missing the dumbest show on television!  And I absolutely LOVE it!  If you like The Three Stooges or movies such as Talledega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby, then you will find the humor in Wipeout.  Read more on our fun with Wipeout on my Twitter Moms page.

Of course the commercials made for a good time.  We had our 3-D glasses and used them.  Some commercials seemed to come to life in 3-D even though they were not part of the scheduled 3-D lineup.  These 3-D glasses seemed to be a better quality than some I have had the displeasure of wearing in the past.  They were comfortable over my glasses; this is important.  I do want to see Monsters vs. Aliens since I am just a really big kid at heart.  

And what about that game!  Seriously, a touchdown by landing on one’s head, that is dedication.  Amanda, in the orange, started cheering.  The rest of us were getting excited via her.  She is usually not this animated, especially for a sport she barely understands and does not follow.  And what about that final touchdown in the last 35 seconds of the game.  Football really is a game that is not over until it is over.

Today is Imbolc (or Candlemas).  Imbolc is the Festival of Lights when we cleanse and purify to make way for the new and welcome the approach of Spring.  It may seem so very far off, but winter is winding down and the onset of Spring is right around the corner.  So take a moment today to reflect on nature and the coming of the flowers, fruits, and leaves on the trees.
