You may have noticed in some of my other photos that there is this bowl of lettuce that keeps showing up in the background. Well, I thought I'd share today a little story of why I find this bowl so fun and why I keep it prominently on my outdoor dining table. It's partially because I love the visual texture and freshness. It's partially because I love that feeling of growing a tiny bit of my own food (most of my garden is herbs). It's partially because I enjoy teaching my children where food comes from.
However, I must admit that the primary reason I love this is because of the sly look my almost-three-year-old gives me when she swipes a leaf and thinks she's getting away with something. I never knew that the secret to getting a toddler to eat her greens is to make it seem like an adventure. It makes me laugh every time.
What made you laugh today?
