Is Homework Necessary or Outdated?

We’re diving into a hot topic sparked by Kim Kardashian—she says her kids won’t be doing homework after a full school day. Eight hours in class feels like enough, which has us wondering if the whole school system might be a little archaic. Teachers, we want you to weigh in—do kids really need to be doing homework? And on the topic of homework, how many of you are really doing your kids homework??This back-to-school season, check out our HelloFresh faves by visiting www.hellofresh.ca and using code CATNAT50 for 50% off your first box.Want our podcasts sent straight to your phone?

Back to school is basically a mom’s New Year—and we’re so excited to kick it off with you. We’re talking “out of town confidence” (our favorite on-the-road alter ego), how the way you love someone and the way they love you back isn’t always the same, and the truth about raising teens (we’ve never met one that isn’t at least a little angsty or anxious). Nobody feels like a million bucks every day, nobody has it all together—and if they say they do, they’re lying!This back-to-school season, check out our HelloFresh faves by visiting www.hellofresh.ca and using code CATNAT50 for 50% off your first box.Want our podcasts sent straight to your phone?

When we got married, we were young, in love, and willing to bend a little to make it all work. But now—with some life experience under our belts and peri-menopause playing havoc with our hormones—we have to ask ourselves: Would we do it all again, knowing what we know now? In this repeat episode, Nat gets real about one of the biggest compromises in her marriage—something Mark let slide that seemed small at the time, but looking back, carried far more meaning than either of them realized.Want our podcasts sent straight to your phone?

This year is going to be an emotional one. One of our kids is finishing their last year of high school before heading off to university—which means campus tours, big decisions, and all the feelings that come with it. Teenagehood looks so different now compared to when we were growing up. We were the generation of fun with endless parties, no check-ins, and parents who had no clue where we were most of the time. That secrecy was part of what made being a teen so exhilarating. But in today’s “Find My iPhone” era, with constant tracking, do teens actually feel more anxious than we did?This back-to-school season, check out our HelloFresh faves by visiting www.hellofresh.ca and using code CATNAT50 for 50% off your first box.Want our podcasts sent straight to your phone?

Cat did something small that turned out to be life changing! Sometimes the tiniest decisions can feel like the biggest shifts. So often we say “no” because it’s the rule, it’s the norm, it’s just the way things are done. But we get to make our own rules. And in the process, Cat had one of those “oh wow, I feel like a grown-up” moments. It really is the little things that matter. This back-to-school season, check out our HelloFresh faves by visiting www.hellofresh.ca (http://www.hellofresh.ca/) and using code CATNAT50 for 50% off your first box.Want our podcasts sent straight to your phone?
