Every morning I feel like I’m opening a little sandwich shop in our kitchen. With 3 boys and a growing daughter we go through as many as 20 rolls every morning. Each has their favorite. My oldest son loves it when I put extra butter. My daughter hates it when I mix ham with cheese. My husband likes it spicy. And the youngest cannot go without his nutella sandwich. You can imagine how long it takes! But I really love this moment. It feels like I’m sending a personal message to each of them. No roll is the same. It’s not a factory. It’s a bit special every time. I imagine that when they take out their sandwich they feel that I’m with them somehow. My heart grows. Once my daughter came home excited because she had shared her sandwich with a girl she had always admired. She said she felt happy to offer her a good bite. I know it sounds a bit cheesy, but I loved this moment.
