Static Front Page and Featured Pages Disappearing

I set-up my front page with three featured pages along with accompanying images and a static page. All looks good when the site is initially rendered. After navigating to a different page and then back to the home page, the featured pages, accompanying images and static page disappear and all I see is a menu item titled Home. Any ideas on what is causing my featured pages accompanying images and static page to disappear? Refreshing the page does not help. I did notice and found peculiar that upon initially visiting the site the URL of the front page is localhost but after navigating to a different page and back to the home page the URL is localhost/Home the aforementioned content disappears from the front page.
