The Raw and The Cooked - Simple Rhythms for SAHM, Honest Motherhood, and Books Worth Reading
Dara Boxer is a stay-at-home mom to four kids six and under, committed to living a simple, well-organized, and beautifully functional life — mostly for her own sanity. A former personal chef and cooking instructor, she brings that same intention to her home: from seasonal meal planning to laundry systems, quiet time routines, toy storage, and everything in between.
Episodes release on Thursdays, and alternate between honest book reviews and practical strategies for managing the chaos of home life with little kids. Come for the rhythm tips, stay for the raw motherhood truths — and maybe leave with a better grocery list.

#226: Before You Replace It, Ask This Question
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In a culture that constantly encourages us to upgrade, replace, and start over, there is something deeply countercultural about slowing down long enough to ask: Can this be repaired?
From fixing a stand mixer and restoring outdoor lighting to learning basic sewing and tackling first-time DIY projects, this episode examines how stewardship is about more than saving money. It is about developing skills, building confidence, and discovering that many things—and many people—are far more capable than they first appear. Sometimes the most meaningful things in life become valuable precisely because someone stayed long enough to maintain them. 💛
