Synopsis

The bestselling authors of Cat and Nat’s Mom Truths go deeper than ever before with outrageous revelations and relatable stories that let every mom know she's not alone.

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. Fiercely committed to dismantling the pressure to be perfect, they’ve connected with their audience by sharing their completely real take on the stress, guilt, and joy of being a mom. One might even say they’ve made a brand of oversharing. 

In their first book, they shared short dispatches and advice from the trenches. Now, Cat and Nat have invited the legion of moms who love them to share their own deepest darkest parenting secrets, and use those to kick off their own stories, going deeper about big topics like guilt, balancing career with motherhood, and body image.

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. Grab a weighted blanket and curl up with this book for the comfort and camaraderie every mom needs.

#2024 #46 Cele două autoare sunt niște mame simple care împărtășind experiența lor din maternitate au devenit faimoase în Canada și se pare la nivel mondial având blogul Cat+Nat.

Goodreads review by Zibby on March 30, 2022

This book is an excellent follow-up to their first book. It offers an honest and funny perspective on "mom-hood": getting away from the need to be perfect, appreciating the joys, and owning the bad parts along the way because it is all normal. This book includes stories from many moms on how they de......more

Goodreads review by Jennie on November 24, 2022

I didn’t connect with this very much. A bit cute and funny but I definitely have very different values and priorities and struggles. Not super relatable to me personally.......more

When I received the ARC for Cat and Nat’s newest novel Mom Truths, I knew I would be in for a good time and lots of laughs. What I did not expect however was to find myself in a puddle of tears within the first few pages of the book. Cat and Nat, two best friends who share the realness of motherhood......more

“Accept the chaos, embrase the mom bod and stress less about germs, among other things.
