In Judaism, we sometimes call God ‘Hashem,’ which means ‘The Name.’ I love this word — it feels close and loving. In today’s episode, I’m sharing something a little softer and more reflective. Lately I’ve been feeling deeply aligned and blessed in this season of life — not because everything is perfect (it never is), but because I’m becoming more aware of Hashem’s presence in the day-to-day moments of motherhood, home life, and growth.

This episode is about contentment, trust, alignment, and learning to receive the life we already have — with gratitude and humility. I talk about noticing bl...

In today’s episode, I’m sharing my very favorite baby and toddler books — the ones we reach for again and again with our 16-month-old and our preschoolers, and honestly the ones our older kids still love, too.

Rather than focusing on a specific age, these are simply the books that:

Today, I'm sharing  the impulse buys that shaped a year at home with four kids, from sleep-regression gear that flopped to kitchen tools, kid storage, and one antique desk that changed everything. Honest wins, painful misses, and the small upgrades that make family life smoother.

I’m sharing my favorite books of 2025 — the ones that stayed with me, challenged me, comforted me, or simply pulled me through a heavy season.

This year, I read 55 books (and counting), and today I’m narrowing it down to the 13 books I loved the most. These picks span fiction and nonfiction, parenting, faith, health, and pure escapism — a true snapshot of my reading life this year.

December feels heavy. The sun sets early. Everything feels like effort. And yet, there is nothing like a really good book. This episode is for anyo...

In this week’s episode, I’m diving into one of my all-time favorite books, The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry by John Mark Comer — a gentle but radical call to slow down and live with more peace, purpose, and presence. 🌿 I share how this book has shaped my family’s rhythm, deepened our Shabbat practice, and reminded me that we’re allowed to live differently — unhurried, intentional, and grounded in what really matters.

Today's episode is a Part II of breaking free from cell phone addiction by turning smartphones into "dumb phones." Reclaiming our attention through intentional boundaries, mainly by living like it's 1995 again.

• Deleting apps like banking, email, shopping, and browsers forces intentional computer-based usage
• Setting boundaries like no phone before 7am and designated check-in times reduces compulsive checking
• Switching to paper grocery lists and physical tracking systems eliminates constant phone dependency
• Leaving the phone in the car during errands creates freedom from constant digital connection
• Using an actual camera instead of phone camera brings back nosta...

I share my journey through 14 books read this summer - ten adult fiction and four children's books - reviewing the highlights, disappointments, and unexpected emotional moments along the way.

• My standout favorite was "The Wedding People" by Alison Espach, likely to be in my top five books of the year
• "Ask for Andrea" by Noelle Wehe captivated me with its unique perspective from murder victims in the afterlife
• Some highly-rated books like "The Grace Year" and "Don't Forget to Write" fell completely flat for me
• "The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane" by Kate DiCamillo made me...

Digital clutter may not take up physical space, but it consumes valuable mental bandwidth and creates background anxiety we often ignore. This episode provides a comprehensive September reset for five key digital areas.

• Phone usage is examined through the lens of "pickups" rather than screen time—revealing how we check phones every 8 minutes on average
• Simple strategies for breaking phone addiction include app deletion, grayscale display, and designated check-in times
• Computer organization focuses on desktop cleanup, download folder purging, and refreshing wallpapers
• Email management tips include separate addresses for different purposes (personal, kids' activities, shopping)<...

"The Bright Years" by Sarah Damnoff is a debut novel that explores addiction's devastating impact across three generations of a family.

Ever wonder what a real family budget looks like? This week I’m opening up our June 2025 numbers — every dollar we spent on groceries, clothes, dining out, birdseed (yes), birthday parties, and last-minute ice cream runs.

I’m sharing where the impulse spending sneaks in, what makes it worth it, and how I think about money not just as math but as a living record of our values, chaos, and care.

Come peek behind the budget curtain. I hope it inspires you to look at your own spending with a little more honesty — and a lot more...

September has a way of rushing in with new routines, school schedules, and endless lists, leaving us feeling like we’re already behind. But what if this month didn’t have to feel so overwhelming?

In this episode, I’m sharing how I’m experimenting with a gentler rhythm for fall — including my idea of a “fall dashboard” to keep things simple — and how we can give ourselves permission to focus on what matters now, instead of everything at once.

In this episode of The Raw and the Cooked, I’m taking you inside a typical summer weekday morning in our house—with four kids under six, it’s as wild and sweet as you’d imagine.

If you’re deep in the trenches too, I hope this one makes you feel a little less alone.

The magic of audiobooks lies in the unique relationship between listener and narrator. Just as our parents became our first storytellers, reading bedtime stories with dramatic voices and engaging inflections, today's professional narrators transform words on a page into immersive experiences. The right narrator can elevate a good story into something extraordinary—think of George Saunders' "Lincoln in the Bardo" with its hundred-voice cast, or the perfect pacing in "Daisy Jones and the Six" that brings its interview format to vibrant life.

Today, I'm sharing five simple strategies to transform your kitchen into a stress-free space where you'll actually enjoy cooking, focusing on manageable daily actions that create long-term impact.

• Clean up completely after every meal, including a "three-minute sweep" to remove non-kitchen items that accumulate on countertops
• Gradually declutter cabinets and drawers while putting away clean dishes, removing broken items and duplicates you never use
• Reorganize kitchen storage based on frequency of use, putting regularly used items in accessible spots
• Implement regular meal planning to reduce food waste, save money, and eliminate mealtime stress
• Decant pan...

Meal planning doesn't need to be complicated or time-consuming to be effective. We break down a simple four-step system that will transform your weeknight dinner routine and eliminate the daily stress of deciding what to cook.

• Determine exactly how many nights you'll be cooking each week
• Create a list of 3-5 "staple meals" that you enjoy making and your family enjoys eating
• Check your fridge and pantry for ingredients that need to be used up
• Fill in your calendar with specific meals, drawing from your staples
• Keep meals simple with the protein-starch-vegetable formula
• Main...

I'm completely swept away by "The Wedding People" by Alison Espach, a book that surprised me with its raw honesty and emotional depth. This winner of the 2024 Goodreads Favorite Fiction award deserves every bit of its 4.1-star rating and half-million reviews.

• Audiobook narrator Helen Lazor delivers an exceptional performance, bringing characters to life with distinct voices
• The premise follows Phoebe, who checks into a hotel to end her life, and accidentally connects with bride-to-be Lila
• Their unlikely friendship forms the heart of the story, creating genuine humor amid serious themes

This episode is part confession, part therapy, for any mom drowning under a sea of plastic toys, overzealous grandparents, and the guilt that keeps you from tossing it all in a donation bin.

Because maybe we all need a little less scrolling and a little more postage stamps.

Batching is a great tool any homemake should have in their back pocket. It teaches you to effectively group together all-like tasks that need to get done without having to switch over your brain to something new. Because switching from one task to another makes it difficult to tune out distractions and can actually slow you down. It also takes the mental load and decision fatigue away from figuring out WHEN to batch specific items.
