We've all heard about the mental load, but what about kin keeping?

If you one day stopped wrangling the extended family or your in-laws to attend group gatherings, would you just never see each other again?

Today we explore how much effort you should be putting into being the kin keeper and why it’s ok to take a step back.

Kin Keeping Is The Christmas Mental Load No One Warned Us About

What do you remember about summer holidays as a kid? Whether it was pools, rivers, beaches, or running under sprinklers, staying cool was key.

For today’s guest, Tiffany, summers were spent with her younger siblings. One unforgettable day at 17 tested her swim teacher skills when both siblings struggled in the water. Staying calm under pressure, Tiffany guided them to safety with quick thinking and steady coaching.

Now a swim teacher, Tiffany uses those same skills to help parents keep their kids safe while enjoying the water.

This little love story is about family, summer memories, and learning to respect the water.

You can read Tiffany's Little Love Story here.

Taking a long holiday is on the minds of families across the nation. So if you're in the need of some inspiration today's guest from the archives might be able to help...

Deanna and her family after months spent in lockdown decided they wanted to go on an adventure. So they mapped out their ideal holiday, a six-month trek across New Zealand on the Te Araroa trail, totalling 3000kms. From Cape Reinga on the North Island to a place called, Bluff on the South Island. So why in the world did they decide to do it? and what did they learn along the way?

Plus this week's parenting dilemma, is Minecraft the gateway for all video games?
