Hey guys, I’m taking a break from my normal CAF’s because I had an idea! I don’t know how it will work out, but basically it’s a CAF with a twist – but for houses. So basically, someone will post a picture of a house, with an explanation of its history, anything you’d like. The next person would post a picture of the family that lives there, with a little blurb about them, and a house that has some relationship with the last one. So that means the family’s neighbor, a family member, coworker, friend, etc. Got most of this idea from @TeaJay’s “name the family that lives in this house” game!
If y’all still don’t get it (cause I’m really bad at explaining stuff), here’s an example:
Example
Poster 1
12, Sweet [name_f]Flower[/name_f] [name_u]Lane[/name_u] is a beautiful home in northern [name_u]Maine[/name_u]. It belongs to a family of 5. It was built in 1923 by the great-great grandfather of the husband who lives in this house. It has 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, and a nice big, attic that the wife turned into her home office. It is awfully cluttered, but it fits the cozy vibes of this pretty little house. It has a pool in the back and a playground, perfect for the young children who live here.

The [name_u]Ryan[/name_u] Family:

The [name_u]Ryan[/name_u] Family lives at 12 Sweet [name_f]Flower[/name_f] [name_u]Lane[/name_u]. The husband, [name_m]Mike[/name_m], is a construction worker and enjoys cooking for his family. He was born in the town where they live and he grew up in the house where they live now. [name_f]Hannah[/name_f] is the wife. She is a graphic designer who works from home, and she loves the history of her house and the town. She likes to hike, ski, and explore with her family. They have three kids, [name_u]Beckham[/name_u], [name_u]Bentley[/name_u], & [name_f]Bee[/name_f].
[name_u]Beckham[/name_u] is a 9 year old who just started 4th grade. He has two best friends, [name_u]Leo[/name_u] & [name_u]Henry[/name_u]. He really enjoys playing video games and likes to play hockey and basketball. He has a crush on a girl in his class named [name_u]Mallory[/name_u], but he hasn’t told anyone yet, because he thinks his friends will make fun of him, especially because everyone knows she has a crush on another boy.
[name_u]Bentley[/name_u] is the middle child. He is in 2nd grade. His best friend in named [name_f]Ava[/name_f]. He gets bullied for being friends with a girl, but he and [name_f]Ava[/name_f] don’t care. Their friend group is mostly girls (Ava, [name_f]Hattie[/name_f], [name_f]Emma[/name_f], [name_f]Julia[/name_f], & Keilani), but there are a few boys (Bentley, [name_u]Chase[/name_u], & Ryan). He likes to make up stories and play with his siblings and pets.
[name_f]Bea[/name_f] is the youngest of the [name_u]Ryan[/name_u] children, and the only girl. She is a very sweet little girl. She hasn’t started pre-school yet, and spends time at home with her mother. She does have some little friends though, one of those being Bentley’s friend Chase’s little sister, [name_f]Waverley[/name_f].
The [name_u]Ryan[/name_u] family also has two cats and a dog. Their cats are orange tabbies named [name_u]Pumpkin[/name_u] (4) and [name_f]Lucy[/name_f] (9), and their dog is a 5 year old german shepherd named [name_u]Scout[/name_u].
I’ll start:
22 Ridgeway Avenue is a 5 bedroom, 5 bathroom house. It’s in Salt [name_u]Lake[/name_u] City, [name_u]Utah[/name_u], and the family who lives her just recently bought it! It was a very exciting thing, since they used to live in [name_u]California[/name_u] and now moved here. The kids are going to a nice school, and they have already met some friends! They are disappointed to leave their old home, but their parents have allowed them to get two hamsters now that they own a house rather than rent one. This house is down by a pretty little pond and is a ten minute walk to a small shopping area. The family has enjoyed getting to know the area and their neighbors, and decorating their new house has been so much fun!
