So how is Quarantine 2020 going for you? 

For us, here in Wisconsin, our Safer at Home Order has been extended to May 26th and my kids will not return to school this school year. These are strange and uncertain times for many of us. I never dreamed we would live through something like this! 

If I am looking on the bright side if things, I can look at the Safer at Home Order as a time to do things to improve myself. I have to admit something though, that is not always easy to do. I am still trying to adjust to working at home while trying to help my kids learn remotely, stressing that I am not doing enough. 

Below are some books that have TRULY helped me through these tough times. I love the journal because it does not take a lot of time to do something to make yourself feel a bit better. I love the cookbook because it has given me new and fun mealtime ideas, that EVERYONE likes! The inspirational book brings a smile to my face everyday when I take a few moments to page through it. I am certain these books will help you too. 

I have been reading a lot, so there will be many great titles being reviewed on the regular here on Mrs Mommy Booknerd's Book Reviews. Thanks for taking a few moments to look around!

Keto and intermittent fasting—a supercharged one-two punch for your health

Keto and intermittent fasting are two of the most popular nutritional programs around, and together, they form a powerful high-fat, low-carb, pound-shedding team. Both get you running on fat. Both get you making ketones. And when combined, they propel you into fat-burning mode faster than either alone.

Filled with 100 keto recipes like Chicken Avocado Omelet and Portobello Mushroom Margherita Pizza, Keto Intermittent Fasting includes delicious recipes tailored to a fasting lifestyle. You’ll see numerous health benefits including weight loss, stable energy, and improved gut health. Prepare your body and mind for the journey with tips for success and navigating the most common side effects, as you unleash your inner fat combustion engine.

Inside Keto Intermittent Fasting, you’ll find:

• Start strong—Get a 7-day meal plan for each Keto intermittent fasting regimen, whether you are starting with a daily fast or weekly fast strategy.

• Prepare your pantry—Discover a list of foods to love, to eat in moderation, and to eliminate.

• Powerful knowledge—Dive into the science behind how keto and intermittent fasting work together.

If you have struggled with results in the past or are looking for a diet that works, consider Keto Intermittent Fasting. Calorie counting alone isn’t the key to weight loss—keeping blood sugar and insulin low is.
