This world is a world full of home-sweet-homes. And these home-sweet-homes are places where you keep memories alive and burning. But no matter where and what the place you call home sweet home is, there is something about this place that makes it quite special. Maybe it’s that corner spot on the couch that’s always perfectly comfortable for binge-watching movies. Or maybe it’s that cozy kitchen that always makes freshly baked cinnamon rolls smell like a magical holiday morning. Or…well, you can fill this in with whatever you think makes your home a home sweet home, because you know that best.

On a separate note, do you happen to know how to talk about the home in German? Just you know… nothing fancy but just really how to talk about the home, like how to say the kitchen in German or even the chimney or the living room or the refrigerator or the apartment.
