Today's guest has a new book out, The Toddler Survival Guide, that I know you'll love because it is practical, funny, and endearing. And, as soon as I heard author Heather Spohr's voice on the day of our interview, I knew that it would also be those three things… But it turned out to be a lot more. We talk about Princess Leia, potty training – and grief. Heather and her husband Mike lost a child to illness, when their daughter was just three years old, and what I love about Heather is her ability to share about the tough stuff while staying extremely positive. So, listen for the laughs, listen for the connection, and read Heather's new book to remember that you are not alone, if you are (or have ever been) the parents of toddlers. But also listen for Heather's description of the support that a strong community brings, whether real-world or virtual. Key links at weturnedoutokay.com/209 – and thank you for listening!

Have you a short fat dictator in your home? Do you cower before a 24-pound child demanding pizza– no, not THAT kind of pizza! the other kind, the kind she likes NOW, which apparently has neither sauce nor cheese?  What is *UP* with toddlers?  In this episode we discuss    * why toddlers’ tantrums may have, at least at one time, been biologically necessary  why taking your toddler’s french toast sticks away makes him feel like he’s suddenly swimming alone in open ocean  how expecting a toddler to be “magically cute” is extremely problematic  why, if you really must ice-skate with a toddler, you must always, always take your own skates off first    And here’s links to some fascinating research, helpful tips, and funny toddler stuff we reference:  Kate Gammon for Popular Science: Birth Of Memory: Why Kids Forget What Happened Before Age 7 Patrick Sauer for Fatherly: What’s Going On Inside A Toddler’s Brain, According To Science Alison Gopnik’s TED talk: What Do Babies Think? Mo Willems and his perfect description of how a toddler goes “boneless” Toddlerography with James Corden and Jennifer Lopez …and from England’s First Steps Research, a study indicating that a toddler’s daily caloric output is the equivalent of going 83 rounds in a boxing ring. This episode also features our interview with Heather Spohr, co-author of the new book The Toddler Survival Guide: Complete Protection From the Whiny Unfed. Spohr’s book is hilarious *and* has practical advice (our favorite combo) for surviving the inevitable onslaught of the Toddler Apocalypse in your own household. Take heart, and plan ahead.         Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Mike and Heather Spohr are like the dream team of funny parents. Mike is a Parenting Editor at Buzzfeed and Heather runs the wildly popular website The Spohrs Are Multiplying. Together they have combined their talent for humorous, relatable writing and turned it into a new book,  The Toddler Survival Guide: Complete Protection from the Whiny Unfed. Our chat took place during some crazy wildfires happening in Southern California. Luckily they were not in harm's way because we had a lot to talk about. As a fellow funny parent (yes, I do say so myself) I couldn't wait to talk to them about how they started their blog and grew it to over 65 million visitors. That's a massive accomplishment! They tell me it comes from a committment to write every day and sharing real stories from their lives. In fact, they have shared a lot of heartbreak, and miracle moments on their website. And in an age where authenticity online is rare, it's refreshing to meet people who are so open about their lives, the good and the bad. It's inspiring that they took their experiences as parents and co-wrote their book. I don't think I've written anything with Chris. I actually get annoyed when I'm writing something and he chimes in. After all, I'm the Emmy winner! I digress....                         Both Mike and Heather say they took a different approach to the writing process. He set a goal to write a certain amount each day, and she would cram it all in one sitting. It's adorable to hear them banter together and talk about their inspiration for this book and the process of going through something like this as a couple. They also have some great insights on staying relevent on social media, the changing landscape of digital media and building a brand while being a stay at home parent.   We definitely laughed a lot during this interview and I have no doubt you will enjoy it too. And all my parents with a good sense of humor will love their book, The Toddler Survival Guide: Complete Protection from the Whiny Unfed, available now online and in stores.

2017 is coming to a close, and like every other year, it was a year full of parenting fails. But if you're feeling guilty about all the things you've done wrong, take comfort knowing you aren't alone. Every parent makes mistakes. The best thing we can do is just say sorry and try not to make the same mistakes again. Parenting is stressful enough without beating yourself up for past mistakes. And that's what this episode is all about. This week we’re starting our countdown of the best parenting fail stories shared on the show in 2017. (Obviously, one parenting fail isn’t better than another. This countdown is just for fun.) Five stories will be shared in this episode and we'll continue the countdown from 10-6 next week.

After that the gang talks about trying to relate to the new millennial generation, kids on social media, and how Heather and Mike Met. Before wrapping up the show, they talk about how coddled kids are today as compared to when they were young and would regularly be able to walk to the park by themselves ad kids.

So if you want to hear about his work at Buzzfeed and the secrets of going viral, you should definitely check out that episode. But this week we’re welcoming him back with his wife Heather because they have a brand new book coming out together called The Toddler Survival Guide: Complete Protection from the Whiny Unfed. In our conversation, we talk about how they came up with the idea for their book, how they landed a book deal, what the process was like to get it published and what it’s like being a husband and wife team writing a book.
