Grace came equipped with a few nays this week - one of which being something she learned from some friends which was news to Sarah, too. And another one of her nays kind of turned into a yay as her friends rallied around her. To Sarah’s delight, imaginative play has been in full force at her house this week. And her nay might just be the nay of all moms out there - the fact that she does not have a house cleaner.

Grace is feeling a bit of an itch to participate in a week long murder mystery based upon this week’s Book Club for 1 novel. And Grace and Sarah share their experiences with putting their oldest kids in extracurricular activities - from why they even wanted to put their children in activities to begin with to what activities their kids have had exposure to so far. They also share some of the fears they have like how to make sure to expose their kids to things they will love but - at the same time - not over scheduling. Then switch up your dinner rotation with a crowd pleaser dinner from Sarah and a solid comfort meal from Grace. No matter how you’re doing motherhood, we’re rooting for you!

Grace made an exciting new purchase this week - a meat slicer - in an attempt to feed her family less processed meats. But don’t worry, Sarah has questions! Then Sarah gets a little vulnerable about her daughter’s speech progression. Whether you are a mom navigating a child’s potential diagnosis or a mom whose heart hurts when seeing your child work so hard at something they struggle with - you’re not alone. And, unfortunately, it is now Grace’s turn for some car troubles.

If we didn’t know better, one might actually think Sarah may have read this week’s novel for Book Club for 1. Grace and Sarah are both personally intrigued about the topic birth order - whether that be thinking about their own kids or themselves and their siblings Sarah and Grace bring some unauthentic - but delicious - recipes this week. With chicken pad thai - peanuts optional - from Sarah. And the chicken enchilada casserole Grace’s mom always made growing up. No matter how you’re doing motherhood, we’re rooting for you!

Sarah and Grace relish in how fun it has been to catch up every week through doing the podcast together. And Sarah and Grace’s husband are officially on SUMMER BREAK!!! But prior to that, the stomach bug hit Sarah’s home, again, during her last week of work. Also, Grace’s oldest has a new favorite game that is both a yay and a nay for Grace.

Grace brings a heartbreaking and tender memoir this week that ends Book Club for 1 on an educational note. Grace and Sarah share what being a villager means to them and kelsewhatelse’s suggestions on how to make friends and create your own village. Sarah brings a trendy recipe this week - crispy hot honey feta chicken - to switch up your dinner rotation. And Grace brings shrimp - or whichever protein you prefer - scampi. No matter how you’re doing motherhood, we’re rooting for you!
