When I was a kid, my family religiously had pizza and movie night on Friday evenings. It was my favorite dinner-time tradition. My mom loved it because it gave her a break from cooking and dishes. It was a treat to ride with Daddy to pick up the pizzas (he didn’t think delivery was worth the extra cost) and come home with the hot boxes on my lap.

My background is in interior design. I think of design as a puzzle where you’re given a lot of pieces that need to be put together. The most important part of a design is that it performs well; and, you know it’s really a good design when it also looks good. So, when Michael and I first started planning our landscaping at our previous house, we wanted it to be more than just pretty. A standard permaculture principle says that it’s better to grow food than grass. We didn’t take the extreme jump and remove our lawn. But, when we wanted a pretty tree in our front yard, we chose a fruiting cherry tree – they’re beautiful when blooming in the spring and you get cherries. It’s a lovely addition to our yard that grows free food every year. Any mother of twins will tell you: their first year is hard. We reached the one-year milestone for our Littles during this past school year. They sleep better; therefore, Momma sleeps better and can do everything with more energy, patience, and clarity. It also helped that just a couple months after the Littles turned one, Michael ended up working from home due to the Coronavirus quarantine. Just having an extra adult around is so encouraging for me.
