Friday nights in our house mean two things: pizza and movies. With Cheese Pizza Day landing on a Friday this year, it feels like the perfect excuse to share our favorite tradition…and the ultimate list of must-see 80s and 90s family movies!

The world has felt impossibly heavy lately. My stomach’s been in knots. But even with that weight, there are lunches to make, sprinklers to run through, and stories to tell. The guilt of holding joy while others suffer is real. It’s also part of why I started writing again. Not to ignore the hard things, but to make space for what’s still good. In this post, I’m reflecting on what it means to parent, feel deeply, and keep creating in a world that’s on fire.
