I live in Brooklyn, NY with my husband and our three kids and this puzzle was made possible by all of them. My oldest daughter is responsible for the beginning of my crossword interest; my husband and I started doing the puzzle 5+ years ago trying to stay awake feeding her as a newborn. My son inspired this particular puzzle by telling me to have "sweet ‘eams" one night (early versions included "Exclamation from a mid-century modern enthusiast"). And I learned how to construct puzzles in 2020 on maternity leave with my youngest, who was the chillest baby. Biggest thanks to my husband who provided encouragement, additional theme ideas, and test-solving along the way.
The crossword community has been such a wonderful and welcoming group of people. Thank you to the folks who have graciously volunteered their time to help me (and others) learn - especially Kate Hawkins, Ross Trudeau, and Christina Iverson.
It's cold here in New York so I'd like to remind everyone to SAY NO TO UGGS. Just kidding, they're your feet, keep ‘em cozy.
