The Raw and The Cooked - Simple Rhythms for SAHM, Honest Motherhood, and Books Worth Reading

Audiobooks are the best, especially since listening gives you the freedom to pair up with other tasks like cleaning, cooking, and walking. And having a wonderful narrator can truly turn listening to a book into somewhat of a magical experience. 

Some audiobooks that I love and recommend, mainly because of the amazing narration: 

• Nicola Yoon's The Sun is Also a Star and Everything, Everything
• Pachinko by Min Jin-Lee
• The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas
• Lincoln in the Bardo by George Saunders
• Fates and Furies by Lauren Groff
• Daisy Jones & The Six by Taylor Jenkins Reid
• Mrs. Everything by Jennifer Weiner
• Such a Fun Age by Kiley Ried
• A Good Neighborhood by Anne Therese Fowler
• Valentine by Elizabeth Wetmore
• Friends and Strangers by Courtney J Sullivan
• Red White and Royal Blue by Casey McQuinston
• One to Watch by Kate Stayman-London
• The Unhoneymooners by Christina Lauren

By far, my favorite audiobook narrator is Julia Whelen, she is AMAZING!

Weekly meal planning doesn't have to be a headache, especially if you keep things simple. Below is an easy 4-step guide to help you get started!

1. Open up your calendar. Figure out exactly how many nights you need to shop, plan, and cook for. 
2. Are there any ingredients leftover from last week that you can incorporate into this weeks upcoming menu, or perhaps give you some inspiration?
3. Fill in your meal planning calendar, using your staple meals. Supplement the other nights with your wheel meals or plan for leftovers. 
4. Writing up your grocery list, be mindful of quantities if you'd like to incorporate leftovers for lunches or another dinner.  

And for the love of god, stay off Pinterest, you'll get completely overwhelmed!
