  Hi there!

  I would be happy to help! Let me clarify a few questions.
  Do you want to show your post on the homepage or would you like to create a separate “Blog” page and display them there?

  Option 1: Your site is already working like this. The posts from https://wordpress.com/posts/haineshappenings.com will be displayed on haineshappenings.com. Please try to create and publish a blog post.

  Option 2: You will want to create two pages in https://wordpress.com/pages/haineshappenings.com, for example, Blog and Home. Then select them from the Your homepage displays and Default posts page dropdowns here: https://wordpress.com/settings/reading/haineshappenings.com.
  The posts will display on Blog page and you will be able to edit Home as you like, it will be visible under haineshappenings.com.

  We have a guide on that topic: https://wordpress.com/support/create-a-separate-page-for-blog-posts/

  And a course on blogging: https://wordpress.com/learn/courses/intro-to-blogging/

  You will probably want to add both pages to the navigation menu as well: https://wordpress.com/support/menus/create-a-menu/#create-a-menu-in-the-customizer

  I hope it helps!
