Welcome And Year-End Setup

Dara Boxer

Hello everyone and welcome to the Raw on the Cooked, a weekly podcast that provides simple routines around the home plus raw and honest book reviews. My name is Dara. I'm a Midwestern stay-at-home mom to four young kids, and I thrive on simplicity. Hello everyone and Merry Christmas. I cannot believe we are here. Like this is it. Like 2025 is over, essentially over. And it has been quite a year. I figured it has been about a year since I did an impulse purchase episode. And I mean, what better than to dish with the entire internet? All the impulse purchases that I made on Amazon in the year 2025. And it was a fun year. We had a small baby. Our fourth baby was barely four months old at the start of 2025. So that is like peak sleep regression. You know that Alex and I are the type of people we just throw money at problems. So I just thought it would be really fun to share with you not every single Amazon purchase, because I do a lot of boring stuff. Like I order my Shabbat candles and sippy cup nipples, because you know, of course, they had to be replaced every like three months because my uh now three-year-old used to like chew holes in them. Like I just order like random things on Amazon that you know you guys probably don't want to hear about, like air filters and you know, like plastic plates and whatever. Anyway, so I wanted to share the fun stuff, the good stuff, the stuff you guys are here for. So let's get into all of my 2025 impulse purchases, the good, the bad, and the ugly, and what I wouldn't trade. Okay, so let's dive right in. I'm gonna go in order of like when I purchased it, and then we'll just like talk about it from there. Okay, so let's get into it. The first one was a 16-piece apple slacer. I was always the type of person to be like, oh, I don't want anything in my kitchen that is like a one-use tool, um, you know, with obviously the exception of like a garlic mincer and a lemon juicer. Um, but I was like, I don't need an apple slacer, like that job can be done with a knife. And it turns out that a 16-piece apple slacer is awesome and just like the way to go. I don't usually cut apples for um anyone except for my daughter, because she has like, I don't know, like she she's like lost a lot of teeth in this last year, and so anytime she had like a loose tooth on the top or the bottom, or whatever, like she wouldn't want to like obviously bite into an apple, so I just got into the habit of cutting them. And at some point I was like, you know what? Let's just get an apple slicer. And I'm really glad I did. So I'm really happy with this apple slicer. Okay, number two is definitely number two and three are definitely sleep regression purchases. So the four-month-old, it was it was a mess. Like, we don't quite have enough bedrooms. We are a family of six in a four-bedroom house. Obviously, my husband and I share a bedroom, our boys now share a bedroom, and our girls have the other two bedrooms. But at the time, we had not moved the baby into her now room. Uh, it was my older, it was just anyway, so the baby was sleeping in our room for a while. It was just a mess, and that sleep regression was just brutal. One of our friends, thank God, it was such a generous gift. She gave us her old mini crib, and so we used that in our room for a while, but then it was getting kind of hard because like Alex and I would want to read at night, or if like someone got up, she's the bathroom. So, anyway, long story short, we ended up purchasing a slumber pod tent, which is one of those like blackout tents that goes over a travel crib or a mini crib, and it was good while it worked, and then at some point I it just felt like an unsustainable system. That slumber pod is really pricey. I don't know if I would recommend it because the setup is so annoying. I mean, I'm not a camping person, so I don't like pitching tents, I don't like doing stuff like that. Once it's set up, it's fine, but I can't imagine actually traveling with it. And we have traveled a handful of times, and I've never once brought it with me because I rather just put a travel crib in a walk-in closet or in a bathroom or you know, to like create darkness. Also, it gets really stuffy in there. So, um, impulse purchase number three is a tripod clip fan that I would like have to charge and then like put in the crib, and it was just like to get like better airflow. I don't know, it was just like such a mess. And I always tell myself, I'm like, oh, I'm gonna keep this stroller van because I'm gonna use it in the future, but then like it just it doesn't ever stay in the right spot on the stroller in the summertime, and you have to charge it, and so it just needless to say, both of those items are no longer with us moving into 2026. Very pricey, not so much the fan, but the slumber pod. I probably should have just borrowed it from one of my friends, but that's okay. Number four is puzzle glue. So I've mentioned before that one of our favorite Shabbat activities is to do a 500 to 1000 piece jigsaw puzzle. And some of the puzzles we've gotten over the last year or so have been really fun, really pretty, and I feel really proud when we're done with them. And I know my five-year-old son likes to like redo puzzles over and over again, like he's the type of kid who will like redo the same puzzle like 15 times, not obviously in one sitting, but like he will whip out puzzles again and again. Um, I kind of I've been into framing them. I don't know what it is. I know a lot of people think it's really weird and tacky, but I don't know. I guess I'm a puzzle framer. So impulse purchase number four was puzzle glue. It's just really easy. You just like squirt on a bunch of clear glue, you use like a special little brush that comes with it to make sure that it kind of like, you know, gets spread evenly. You let it dry for about 24 hours, and then you can frame your puzzles. So far, I've framed two. Um, and I do plan to frame a couple more, um, but I don't know. Like, is it silly? I don't know. I I like it, so I'm happy with that purchase. It's not like it was expensive. Okay, um, impulse purchase number five. This is a recommendation for my aunt. Um, it I'm gonna completely, I don't know how to pronounce this at all. It's like curcetin with bromeline. Um, I guess it's like some sort of pill that is like an all-natural whatever that kind of like helps clear out your airways. So anytime I feel a cold coming on, or if I've hung out with somebody that was like, oops, by the way, I'm like kind of sick, like when we have this. I mean, it just, you know, it happens, like when people travel and they're like catching something, and then you spend all weekend with them, and then you don't want to catch what they have. Um, I will find myself taking like two or three a couple times a day just until I can like feel myself like not catching whatever it was. I don't know if it actually works. I have been pretty healthy this year, so I'm gonna just go with the juju and the magic and say that it works. And by the way, I'm gonna link everything in the show notes so you can like click on anything if you want to check it out. Um, purchase number six. Um, my cousin had gifted me a handful of moss poles for plants, like so if plants can climb and they come with little clips, you can kind of like help your plant grow and like learn how to like wrap around a little moss pole. And I really loved it. She only gave me one, so I felt like I needed more for other plants. So I went ahead and impulse, purchased a couple more. Um, so always recommend that if you're a plant person. I've found that keeping small children alive, myself, my husband, and animals is really intense, and I'm not really a plant person. However, the three plants that I have been able to keep alive for over a year at this point, um, I'm really good at keeping Monsteras alive. I feel like they don't, they're not very needy. Um, I can keep mother's tongue, snake plants alive. And um, oh my gosh, there's another one. I don't know the name of it. It's just like a simple green one that like has a really fun way, like these are the ones you can like wrap around moss poles and they'll like learn how to grow. Oh my gosh, I don't know what their name is. I'm so sorry. Oh, and the fourth one is snake plants. Um, wait, did I mention that already? I don't know. I feel like there are two variations of snake plants. I don't know. I'm I'll put pictures in the show notes. We'll we'll figure this out later. Okay, um, and then I ordered a couple of things, like organizing-wise for toys. So impulse to purchase number seven is a Hot Wheels display. This is just like a big square, like a wooden piece of square with like lots of tiny little shelves and compartments. It's like perfect size for Hot Wheels. I have it in my boys' room just because like over the years we've accumulated a lot of Hot Wheels. This one in particular that I purchased can display 72 of them. It's also good for like other little tiny figurines. We have so many tiny little figurines, like Toy Story action figures, and just like you know, little things. They do not fit, we've we've learned the hard way, they don't fit train pieces, like they won't work with brio trains, like the trains are like a tiny bit too big, but they're really good for cars and like other small things. So, you know, I'll take the win, the hot wheels are not all over the floor, and they just kind of like live in the Hot Wheels case that is mounted to the wall. So I really like that. Um, number eight is my sourdough bread knife. And at first I wasn't sure if I wanted to do this because I already had a bread knife, but then I realized very, very quickly upon receiving this that no, this is the knife you need if you want to cut sourdough or just like anything bread. It makes it so easy. I don't understand the science behind it or why it works. It makes cutting your loaves not miserable. So I it was a recommendation from my sister-in-law who is a sourdough baker, um, like a like a micro bakery, um, and she recommends this to like anyone who purchases her sourdough. So um gold stamp of approval from both of us. Um, number nine is a Lego organizer. This is just one of those like fabric boxes with a zip top, and it comes with a mat. So anytime my boys want to dump out all the Legos, I highly encourage them to spread out the mat, dump all the Legos on that mat, do whatever they want, but then it makes cleanup so much easier because all you have to do is throw the Legos that didn't make it onto the mat back onto the mat, and then you kind of like pick it up like a parachute, and then you dump it into the fabric box. Um, it has the word bricks written on it in white, it's perfect, and it just like it it keeps Legos like calm and not so chaotic. Um, this list is kind of all over the place, but jumping back into baking, um, impulse purchase number 10 is USA loaf pans. These loaf pans are awesome, they're like heavy duty, they mean business, they are not expensive, and they are super good quality. They're just so easy to wash. I really, really like them. I don't even know how old my old loaf pans were. It was just time to upgrade them. So, uh again, upon my sister-in-law's recommendation, I went ahead and I don't want to say splurged, but I treated myself impulsively, got these loaf pans, have never looked back. Number 11 is, and this sounds so silly, is a fine mist continuous spray bottle. So we went through, I mean, we still go through this. We have we still have one child in diapers. Um, it poop smells really bad when you throw out a poopy diaper. I don't have diaper genies. I've never had a diaper genie, so all of our poop diapers and all diapers in general just go in our kitchen trash, which is uh for better or worse, like I mean it is what it is. Um, so I started making my own um like diffusing spray. So if I have to throw away something like really gross, like a really nasty diaper, um I make my own like homemade spray. It's really just um water, a little bitch oil, some um lavender or whatever scented essential oils, and then I will spray it, and then it just like makes the kitchen not smell like absolute, like literal poop. So I appreciate that. Um it came in a set of two. Um also my boys just I mean, boys are just really gross. So sometimes I'll like walk into their room and I'll just, you know, it just smells like boy. Um, so I'll just, you know, give it the room a quick spray. It just kind of like freshens everything up. So I I really um enjoy the like continuous spray bottles. I feel like it just makes like, you know, airing out a room with essential oils like just like easy and pleasant. Um, number 12 was just one of those I was scrolling on X and you know the advertisement got me. Um it's a steamer for clothing. I don't know, I just some of my shirts had like gotten really wrinkled. We don't really own an iron or an ironing board. I don't have any interest in owning that. Um so I ended up purchasing a steamer for clothes. And then I had told my mom about it, and she's like, oh no, no, no, like you, you're like completely, you're missing the best thing ever. So she ended up sending me it's like this, it's like an iron, but it's like a hair straightener for clothing. So it's like imagine a hair straightener, but it's like much larger and designed to work with clothes. So now I have two things to kind of like press and steam and get wrinkles out. Um, so my mom got me the hair straightener one. I'm gonna see if I can find the link for that because I was the one that purchased the steamer. The steamer is actually really cool too. It's very small, it's very compact, and it's perfect for travel because you know how clothes can get after you've thrown them in suitcases and they've sat for hours. So um I do recommend both. Um, they're both really great products. Um, I just I I wish I used them a little bit more. Okay, number 13. This is an impulse purchase, but I it's something I've purchased before in the past. It's just like a re-up. Um sharpie pastel highlighters. I have gotten myself into like reading so many fantastic books this year that I find myself highlighting and wanting to take notes. Um, but there's something like really um just like jarring about like an actual highlighter. And so the Sharpie pastel lines, they're very subtle where like you can see where you've highlighted, but it doesn't like stand out like a sore thrum. Like it doesn't like it doesn't like draw your attention just to what you highlighted. Does that make sense? Like, you know, when you I don't know. So pastel highlighters. Okay, number 14. I don't know how I feel about these. So I am a Vionic person. The only shoes I have are Vionic because I screwed up my foot when I was training for a half marathon like forever ago. And so I just I feel like I need orthotics in my shoes. Like, I don't wear heels anymore. Very rarely do I wear heels like I'm in Vionic shoes because they have built-in orthotics and they're actually not hideous. They make beautiful, really nice shoes. So, like every pair of shoes I have are bionics, and I saw that they had come out with this like really cute Mary Jane and like a cheetah print. I was like, ooh, I like cheetah, so I went ahead and purchased them. Um, no matter what I've done, they have like cut up the back of my feet, like the heels, like they've like they dig in in like a really weird spot. I want to like them, I want to love them, but even putting those like things on, you know, like the heel protectors, it still doesn't quite help, and I still find myself like in a lot of pain afterwards. So I'm a little sad about that. I don't, I feel like I kind of wasted money, and they weren't like expensive, they weren't cheap either. They were like$150. So I'm like a little sad about it because I feel like I'm only gonna wear them like once or twice a season. So I don't know. I feel like that wasn't the best impulse purchase on my part. Okay, the next one is crazy, but I felt like I had to add it onto this list. Normally, I would tell you I'm not gonna like add all my like household purchases onto this list, but this is a rosemary ginger hand soap that comes in like a really pretty bottle. The label's pretty, it's very minimalist. It smells so good. When I tell you, I get compliments on this hand soap all the time. I get compliments on this hand soap all the time. I've never not had somebody comment on how good it smelled and wondering where I got it from after using this hand soap. So I feel like I need to add it onto this list. This is now my second year purchasing it, and um, I think it's a winner. I'm gonna keep it. I don't even want to know what the ingredients are. I just it's I know it's just gonna be toxic poison. Like it just has to, right? Because that's how it works. Like something smells great and it's just like loaded up with fragrance and like natural whatever that's like you know, a euphemism for we put toxic ingredients in here, but we can't tell you about it because natural flavor is like a trademark proprietary term. So, okay, moving on. I don't want to know. I just yes, I'm sure it's like horrible for us. Um, impulse purchase number 16 is a book called Bug Boys that my friend had recommended to me for my son, my five-year-old who loves bugs. We love bug boys. Oh my goodness. It is it is a graphic novel, and it is about these two best friends, these uh little beetles, Stag Bee and Rhino Bee. Beautiful illustrations, beautiful stories, little chapters, awesome to read. It's just so fun. I it's like it's very like Japanese and it's adorable. So that was an impulse purchase, and we have since ordered the other two. They were gifted as um holiday presents for my son, and he's just so excited about his bug boy collection. Number 17 are silicone-tipped metal straws for water bottles. Um, this is one of those purchases I've I have been using metal straws for several years now. I really enjoy the idea of a metal straw, but there are a lot of times where I feel like I'm gonna break my teeth when I use them, in addition to my kids use my water bottle too. And I do worry about their teeth too. So I ended up purchasing silicone straws that have well, they're not silicone, they're metal straws, but a silicone tip that you can add on. And so that's been great. I feel much better about that, especially when I'm driving. I think of like, oh gosh, like if God forbid I was like in the middle of drinking something while I get into like a car accident. You know what I mean? Like your mind just goes to weird places, like I would break all my teeth. So uh silicone-tipped metal straws, it is okay. Um, the next two are gifts for children. Uh, number 18 is the Corella Mini Baby Doll. I got this for my two-year-old niece for her birthday. We also have one of the mini baby dolls that my oldest daughter loved like with a passion for years, and then she passed it generously passed it down to her baby sister, who now like loves it fiercely. So I figured it would be like the perfect two-year-old gift. And my two-year-old loves it so much. So it's it's so affordable and it's so cute. It's like the perfect baby doll for like a three and under girl. Okay, the next one is an initial fanny pack. My daughter saw another girl on a playground wearing an initial fanny pack and was like, I want an initial fanny pack for my birthday. So I got her an N. She wanted it in green, and that is that was one of her birthday gifts, and she really is happy with it. So it's really cute. I mean, she's a she's very small, so she can't, even like the super smallest setting is still too big for her waist, so she just wears it like a crossover body bag. Um, I don't know what she keeps in it. I think, you know, just you know, it's not like she has like a driver's license or money or car keys, but she's really happy with it. So um I'm happy for her. Um, number 20 is the Fitbit Inspire 3. So I had mentioned before that I finished up Good Energy by Casey Means a couple months ago, and the book really implored you to wear a wearable tracker for your heart rate and um just your sleep and your steps and your movement. I Used to be a huge Fitbit person, like huge Fitbit person before I met my husband, and it I I mean for years, like wore my Fitbit religiously. This was before they were like cool and could actually track things like sleep and your heart rate and all that. It was really just like literally like an expensive pedometer. And then after babies, it was just like got too cumbersome. And plus, you had to like clip them on you at the time. Anyway, so now they have them. You can just put them on your wrist and it tracks all the things that you're supposed to track. I've been wearing mine every day since October, and I'm really, really happy with it. And I do plan on having a future podcast episode about the wearables and the um Casey Means book in general, so stay tuned for that. Number 21 is yet another baby purchase. This is a baby gate, which sounds so stupid. We're you know, four kids in, like, of course, we should have baby gates. We have some professionally installed in our house, like at the top of the stairs, but we were getting in a situation where we needed one at the bottom of the stairs because it's just a long story. Anyway, we order this baby gate impulsively, we're like, we're gonna install it, and it's one of those like easy to install ones where you don't have to drill into the wall, they kind of just like with tension go into the wall, and it just sat in the box, and like we neither my husband and I had like any interest in like actually doing it. Like, I don't know, we sometimes we just we get really frustrated with like a situation, we'll make a purchase, and then it'll just like completely go to waste. This completely went to waste. I just actually drove it to goodwill, like still in the box. So it's like someone else can enjoy this baby gate. Um, number 22 is uh mesh laundry bags. Again, sounds so stupid, but there are a handful of items that I wash with everyone else's stuff. Like I always do a daily load of of kids' stuff, uh cloth towels that we use as napkins or dish rags or whatever in my stuff. Um, a couple of items of clothing of mine like shouldn't really go in the dryer, so it's good to um like I I always I always um I always tell myself, I'm like, oh I'll remember to grab it before I put it in the dryer and like hang it up, but I never ever do. So unless I put it in a mesh laundry bag before putting it in the washing machine, like that is the only thing that will like actually tell my brain, oh hey, this doesn't belong in the dryer. So I needed to purchase mesh laundry bags to make sure I didn't accidentally dry something that should have been hung to dry, not in the dryer. Number 23. Um, this is I guess kind of gross, but I I had I had to buy a pumice stone. Um, my the bottom of my feet just like have dead skin on my heels. It's really unsightly and really disgusting. And sometimes I let years go by. You have to like replace the pumice stone every couple of months because they get kind of stinky because they like hold on to all that dead skin and like you know, dead skin and bacteria, and it just like smells really gross. So every couple months I like toss it out and throw it, and then sometimes I forget to buy a new one. So, anyway, long story short, it had been like it had been like over a year since I purchased a new one, and the bottom of my feet were getting like really, really, really gross. So, this was just another one of those like impulsive, like, okay, gotta do this. This is like getting like really gross, and now it's winter, so like no one sees my feet anyway. But I know that the bottom of my feet are like clean and tended to, so yay. For something that's like less than seven dollars, it is it, and if you have like a really gross dead skin problem on your heels, like this thing is a godsend. I've been using this on and off for like seven, no, longer than that, 10 years almost. Yeah, I swear by this particular pumice stone. So check this out if you have that problem. Okay, number 24 and 25 are items that I purchased for my daughter's seventh birthday party. We threw her a Star Wars themed birthday party, and it was a lot of fun, but it was a lot of work, and I think I'm just like burnt out on doing birthday parties for children. I think moving forward, we're just gonna be like, hey, meet us at the park for this particular time. I'm gonna like buy some donuts and call it a day. Like, I'm I cannot do any more party planning than that. I feel like for 2026, like that is my my mojo uh for parties for my children. So I ended up purchasing like a really small Bluetooth speaker, it was$12 and it was worth every penny. We played Star Wars music, it was really fun. And then number 25 was a bubble machine, and we have never owned a bubble machine, but it was awesome. The kids loved it, it was so much fun, and I'm really excited for the weather to warm up and just like use a bubble machine and play with chalk and just like sit and drink lemonade on my porch in the summertime. So that is what I'm looking forward to. Um, I just wanted to make a quick note, and this is gonna give my age away, but there was a time where Bluetooth speakers were like all the rage. This was like, I don't know, a little over 10 years ago. They were really expensive, they were like over$150 for like a good quality Bluetooth speaker back in the day. Like, do you remember? I remember my husband, we were dating at the time, he bought me one to keep at his apartment because like we we used to spend a lot of time there and whatever, and he surprised me with a JBL Bluetooth speaker, and it was really expensive. And I remember being like, wow, like this this man really loves me. And now you can get them for$12. It's like kind of wild. It's kind of wild. So this one's like really tiny and it's awesome. I've been keeping it in our basement, and anytime I'm like doing a little project or doing whatever, I just like put it on, it's just really fun, so I like it. Okay, next up is an automatic cat feeder. This was definitely an impulse purchase because we had left on a trip, like with no notice. My grandmother passed away, and in Jewish tradition, you have to bury your dad within 24 hours. We were given like obviously no notice to get down there. I didn't have time to call our cat sitter. We like left a bunch of food. My husband accidentally locked the door that I I forgot to put it. It was like a whole thing. Anyway, so I couldn't even call our cat sitter to come over. My cousin obviously came with us. So, anyway, long story short, our cat went like a day, maybe two, without a lot of food, and we felt horrible. So my cousin's like, wait, why don't you guys just get an automatic cat feeder next time? So we got the same one she got, and it it's it's great. So now when we are in the position of going on a vacation, obviously we would have someone come if it was like longer than three days, but for a three-day period of time, we can just like trust that an automatic cat feeder will take care of him. It is also battery operated, so in case the power goes out, he will still there is like a backup source where he can still get food. So I am looking forward to that for our next upcoming trip where we don't have to pay our cats that are. Okay, number 27. This is for the baby. This is like the cutest little infant Stanley Cup. It's like a spill-proof, it's like in the shape of Stanley Cup, but it's like really small, it's like perfect size for her. It truly is spill proof. I just like let her carry it however she wants. I throw it in my purse, I don't have to worry about it leaking everywhere. It is the best, and she loves it because it like looks like my water bottle, but it's for her. It's very cute. And then the last thing on my list, well, actually, I have a bonus after this. Um, this is the last thing on my Amazon list, is a Martha Stewart cake stand with a glass dome. Um, this was one of those purchases where, and this is gonna sound so silly, but the I have two cake stands currently. I have one that fits like a really small six-inch cake, and then another one that fits like a 12, eight or 10 to 12 inch cake. Anyway, they don't really fit the cakes that I make for our family. One is like a tiny bit too big and the other is a tiny bit too small. So it's like I need I need an eight-inch cake plate with like a dome top like a tall glass dome top to like fit candles and decorations and all that I do. I make six birthday cakes a year just for my immediate family. That doesn't include any grandparents that are celebrating birthdays with us, that doesn't include my cousins. So I make a lot of cakes a year, and I was like, you know what? I deserve a nice cake stand. So I treated myself to the Martha Stewart one, and I don't regret it. And then the very last impulse purchase I made in this calendar year. I mean, I'm sure I made other ones, but at least as far as like Amazon is concerned, I was going through an antique market a couple of weeks ago, and I saw the most beautiful roll top desk. It is beautiful, it looks like something my grandpa had when I was growing up, and I just felt in my bones like I needed this desk. Like I couldn't explain it other than that. I went home, I measured, I made sure it would fit in the little spot that I've sort of carved out for myself, and lo and behold, it does, got my husband's blessing, went back the next day and purchased it. I am obsessed with it. I cannot tell you how good it feels to finally have like a desk again. I again, that sounds so silly to say that, but I have like not really had an office space or like a dedicated space to do my work. Um, you know, I do a lot of admin stuff for this house. Like it's just good to have like my checkbook, my stamps, my envelopes, my writing, my computer, like all in just like one organized spot. Prior to that, my stuff was just everywhere. It was divided up in the house amongst like a closet that sort of serves as our office space in a junk drawer, like in my nightside table. Like it's good to keep my planner with my pens and my computer and my highlighters. Like, oh, I missed having a desk so much. So I'm like thrilled to start 2026 with like a dedicated office space again. Best purchase I've made all year, hands down. And it really got me thinking about antiques and just the nature of furniture in 2025. But that is a topic for another day. This episode is getting a little lengthy. So I wanted to wish you all a Merry Christmas, a happy new year. I will see you back here next Thursday. Thank you so much for tuning in, and I'll catch you back here next time.
