I love to sit on the floor, too.

When we have friends over, usually I give everyone our couch and I sit on the floor.

I have three dogs.

I have nine chickens.

I want their lunchboxes put in the sinkand I dont even make them rinse it out.

I will do it, or someone will do it, but dont leave it in your backpack.

Q: Does scent play a role in how you unwind at home?

But I dont think its just unwinding at the end of the day.

What do I want the lighting to be like, even during the day?

[Its] my space, and I feel more myself in something thats curated by me.

And I think the same thing goes with creating your atmosphere.

Q: Do your rules change if you have guests coming over?

[Laughs] Yeah, because if no ones coming, were probably eating in front of the TV.

Q: How so?

Depending on how many people are coming, well sit at our long table.

And sometimes well sit outside.

And he was like, Of course I did.

Im like, You didnt say anything about it!

And hes like, Im saying it in the song.

Isnt that good enough?

[Laughs] I guess.

I know that the things that I do are appreciated in the house.

He would never think to do any of the things that I do.

But I think the same goes for the kids.

Sometimes we want to open up all the doors and eat at the long table.
