Parenting is hard — but you know what helps? Humor… and maybe a glass (or bottle) of something full-bodied. 🍷
In this laugh-out-loud episode of Burnt Pancakes: Momversations, I chat with Danielle Frank, author of A Wine Lover’s Guide to Parenting — a satirical rhyming storybook that pairs wine wisdom with the wild world of raising kids.
Danielle spent over two decades in the wine and spirits industry before writing her debut book, blending (pun intended) her knowledge of wine with the realities of parenting she’s witnessed as an aunt and friend. From “letting things breathe” to finding the right “balance and structure,” her witty take on life’s messiest moments reminds parents everywhere that sometimes, the best pairing for a tantrum is a sense of humor.
In this episode, Katie and Danielle talk about:
🍷 How the idea for A Wine Lover’s Guide to Parenting came to life
😂 Why laughter is an underrated parenting survival skill
👶 The surprising similarities between wine tasting and toddler tantrums
📚 How Danielle’s background in wine shaped her playful perspective on parenting
🥂 The best “wine pairings” for every stage of parenthood — from newborn nights to teen drama
Whether you’re a mom who loves wine, needs a laugh, or just wants to feel seen — this episode is your perfect pour.
