Hey, you there, barely hanging on by a thread? You deserve a good laugh today—you can’t cry when you’re laughing, after all. We’re going to tell you some of our most embarrassing stories so that you know you’re not alone. And mom to mom, we’re here to let you in on a little secret: you’re doing amazing.  

Remember when you were first expecting, and it seemed like every woman on the planet who had ever given birth felt the need to warn you? Your life is about to change forever!

With seven kids between them, Cat and Nat know a thing or two about the way motherhood turns your life upside down. At the same time, HGTV, Instagram, and that hot mom at pick up who looks like she goes to spin class every day make you feel like everyone else has it together—and Cat and Nat are here to shake off the guilt, ditch the filter, and tell it like it really is.

They invited moms in their community to share their own deepest darkest secrets, and use those to kick off their own confessions, going deeper than ever before into big topics like guilt, balancing career with motherhood, and body image. They get real about dad crushes, finding the right parent party crew (aka the real reason to enroll your kids in sports), and grappling with their own teen, ahem, missteps when they realize their kids are approaching those tricky years.

Cat dives into the Bachelor-inspired trend of taking your kids on "one-on-one's" and shakes off the guilt when she doesn't have the time/energy/helicopter to pull it off. Nat explains why her husband is completely off base when he "romantically" refers to her as his best friend (obviously, Cat already fills that role!). And Cat and Nat finally share the skincare routine that a lot of you have been asking about (it involves the car mirror and severely delayed deodorant application).
 
These moments of truth are wildly funny, but also universal and oh-so-relatable. Gather around, it’s time to overshare—grab a weighted blanked and curl up with this book for the comfort and camaraderie every mom needs.
