Talking about another blogger’s book today, spreading the love, baby!
This time it is (drumroll please)ย The Honest Toddler.
I didn’t get a chance to talk to Honest Toddler (too busy) but I was able to talk to Honest Toddler’s mother. And we arranged a little text chat between Honest Toddler and Crappy Baby.
And so on.
(I really did hold up the book to Crappy Baby and ask him what he’d ask the child on the cover of the book. Those were his real questions. He asked about hurting his arm because he accidentally banged his arm on the coffee table right at that moment. He’s since been better at reminding me to give him gummy vitamins after dinner. Hmmmmm.)ย
But about the book… I loved this book. I really did. I followed my husband around for two days reading him stuff and laughing my ass off and saying, “It’s brilliant!” over and over.
For example, in the section on books (about Shel Silverstein’s The Giving Tree):
“In this book, a young boy with beautiful overalls kills a tree over the course of many years.”
Or in the section on food:
“Unless you plan on watering down your pinot noir, don’t you dare serve your toddler intentionally weakened fruit beverages. Ruining perfectly good juice by cutting it with lukewarm tap water is disrespectful and shows that you know nothing about friendship.”
And those are just two tiny snippets. It is just so, so good. If you have little ones you will love it.
Giveaway! Win a copy of The Honest Toddler by filling out the rafflecopter thingy below! Giveaway ends July 3rd, 2013.

Love the text messages!
Love The Honest Toddler!
gummy vitamins fix everything.
Until your child eats 30 at one time, and you have to call poison control (no iron, so they’re fine). I am pretty sure they were checking the log to see the last time I called.
This comment made me laugh out loud. Sometimes I contemplate the merits of giving a fake name or disguising my voice… just so they don’t know it’s me calling… again.
I’m making mental notes.
Note to self: take turns using different phones (cell, home, husband’s cell) each time I call poison control in future. It hasn’t happened yet, but I know it’s coming.
I never had to call for my daughter. My son on the other hand….
every now and again I sneak one too. They are yummy!
I would have to call poison control on myself if I kept gummy vitamins in the house. Cannot resist ๐
Man, I can’t wait until my toddler is verbal enough to start cutting wisecracks ๐
Same here!
Love Honest Toddler and love you! ๐
Would love to win this. Lots of laughter to be had
Great site!
I cannot get enough of the Honest Toddler. Or Crappy Pictures!!!
Same here, my two favorites!
Me too!!
Ditto!
Yes, do more together pretty please!
I agree. What a perfect pair! They go together like PB&J. Or wine and a coffee mug (to make me look less like an alcoholic).
Any alcoholic beverage in a coffee cup is brilliant! Maybe Crappy Baby and Honest Toddler should write a book?
Absolutely!
What a great giveaway! I love Honest Toddler and would be thrilled to win the book. ๐
My two FAVORITE blogs in one place?!? How cool is this?
I’m secretly jealous that both of you talk to each other like two celebrities hanging out. Someday perhaps my blog will have more than five readers. Le sigh.
Hilarious….as usual!
Yeah! My two favorite blogs working for greater . . . good?
This post is like two favorite worlds colliding. Like if Buffy had a guest appearance on the West Wing.
I didn’t realize there was a gaping hole in my life until I read this comment.
Please oh please oh please pick me! My toddler is fully embracing the 2s… I live in Memphis… I SERIOUSLY need a laugh. Or fourty.
I’d love to win the book! It sounds hilarious!
Crappy Baby meets Honest Toddler? Awesomesauce!
I like your awesomesauce!

Love your blog. Would love the book!
Oh thank God we can comment now ๐ Love this giveaway! If I win a copy I will keep it since I already bought Honest Toddler AND the Crappy pictures book for a friend for Mother’s Day. Love these two blogs! ๐
I can only imagine the hilarity that would ensue if Crappy Baby, Crappy Boy and Honest Toddler got together for a play date.
Yay! I’m so excited for this giveaway! ๐ I love you both! And Honest Toddler reminds me a lot of my lil monkeys!
Would love to win the book, sounds almost as funny as yours ๐
Water down my WINE??? That would definitely cause a friendship loss!

My husband loves gummy vitamins… it works for adults too!
Mine too! He was amazed to find they make them for adults, but prefers the dinosaurs!
Ha Ha! Everyone loves gummy vitamins!
Crappy Pictures and Honest Toddler make for a hilarious combination!
Love HT! Reminds me of my son ๐ The text messages are great!
Love it!

Toddlers give us a great glimpse into teenagehood…
I have not had a chance to read this book yet… I need to! I love honest toddler!
Love it!
Hilarious! Thanks for introducing me to another awesome blog!
Too funny- looks like a new blog I need to add to my list!
I need a new book to read! And I have a similarly awesome toddler.
Both of y’all make me laugh so hard!
Love!!! The honest toddler…getting daddy a cot beside the bed…awesome!
I love sharing this blog with my mom friends at work. ๐ Thank you!

I love your blog and The Honest Toddler, too. You both make me laugh so hard that it makes me remember that I should be doing more Kegal exercises. ๐
My two favorite sites team up! I hope there are more texts to come!
Hooray for the two best kid blogs, combining forces!
Would love to win this book
I love your blog…you are one awesome mama…
I love both blogs!
Very funny about the juice! I am guilty!
Oooh, great idea to give out gummy vitamins to make things “all better!”
So cute! Love the text messages LOL
I’ve been dying to read this!
That kid is so funny! I love reading their facebook posts. Thanks, Crappy Momma!
Would LOVE to read this book! ๐
Honest Toddler is hilarious!
As always, a fantastic laugh at your wit and the relevance to my life! Thanks for sharing the crappiness! ๐
Love both your blogs…
Would love to read the book ๐
Looking forward to the great read!
ha ha, sounds like a great read!
Honest Toddler makes me both grin, and wonder if someone is watching our life from afar and blogging about it ๐
My 2 favorite blogs together! Love it!!
Oh toddlers… there is nothing like them. =)
I love Honest Toddler!
I love The Honest Toddler on Facebook, so I’m sure I’ll love this book!
Cute!
I never did get the watered down juice thing. Too bad my kids never explained it that way.
I love books and so do my “Crappy” girls.
Love these! Would loooove to see whole book ๐ xxx
Honest Toddler and Crappy Pictures: two great blogs that blog great together! (Terrible grammar, I know. But I stand by the sentiment!)
The two blogs that keep me grounded and aware that I am not alone in this hilarious insanity called motherhood. =)
I love love love HT!!
Love the Honest Toddler & Crappy Baby combo!
Love you’re posts! And Honest Toddler’s too!
too funny for lots of long words!!!
Honest Toddler is pretty much my favorite parent-related site other than this one. Somehow HT manages to capture the toddler POV and still be funny to me as a parent living through it! If that’s not brilliance, I don’t know what is.
Oh PLEASE do a collaboration together. Crappy Pictures + Honest Toddler is a match made in heaven. You are my two favorites and the only blogs I follow!
Yes!
Funny!!
You and Honest Toddler are my two favorites. It’s good to know that Crappy Baby and HT are friendly.
Gotta find out if my library has this one!
Ooh! A new funny!
You make me laugh every day. thank you for sharing your humor with us.
I had no idea Honest Toddler had a book out! I love his twitter feed!
Love the giveaways! Keep ’em coming! ๐
I hadn’t heard of this book before but it looks awesome.
LMAO! I totally water down my kids delicious fruit drink. And I don’t drink anymore (thanks epilepsy meds for making parenting less fun because I can’t be half drunk while doing it! ha!) – but hey – he likes it, and I get to make the juice last longer… ๐
If you let me win, I will give you unlimited popsicles and cookies.
Even though I know Honest Toddler isn’t “real” I love the idea of Crappy Baby and Honest Toddler playing together.
Not real? La la la, I can’t hear you!
I love Crappy Pictures! I love Honest Toddler! Kudos for teaming up!
hope to win. ๐
love you CP!
Too funny!!!
I love funny parenting books! Yours was the best (because it’s my favorite website) but I always love to read new ones too. And I’m not trying to suck up, it’s just a fact.
You two are my favorite blogs! I just recommended both to my friends and follow both of you! I would love to read The honest Toddler book. As I am writing this right now, my honest toddler is trying to grab my phone because he is wailing his has nothing to do amidst the 1000 toys laying on the floor.
I can’t wait until my boys reach this stage!
I will probably have to buy this book if I don’t win it so can we save me a few bucks? <3 your book too btw
I’ve never likened watering down my kid’s juice to watering down my wine…point taken!
When I feel like Motherhood has gotten me down — and beaten me repeatedly with a rubber duckie and the legendary “blue blanket” of Doom, I come here and cower, laughing my booty off as I whisper, “Thank you, Lord, it isn’t just me!”
So, yeah, thanks for being here!
๐ Honest toddler (-:
love it!
I’d love a copy! These crack me up. They remind me of my beefacts twitter account except everything you say about toddlers is 100% true!
After a particularly confusing trip to the grocery (why all the dirty looks, people?), we exited only to discover at that point that our precious toddler (who was kicking back in his stroller the entire time, and now that I think of it, suspiciously quiet & content for the entire shopping trip…) had, ummmmm, set free his bits and pieces and massaged them to full vertical glory. Exasperated by my apparent nudist/naturalist son’s flasher tendencies, I begged for advice from his pediatrician, who promptly prescribed a healthy dose of Honest Toddler. Best doctor ever.
Oh bless’d be! Humor on a day when I was desperately seeking something to distract me from the two malstrom monsters wrecking havoc on my home and repeatedly referring to me as “Mom”. Who are these kids???
I’ve got a crappy, lying toddler at home. Oddly enough, the first thing he lied about was gummy vitamins. “Did Daddy give you your vitamin already?” “No. Vitamin please!” As Daddy frantically swats the bottle out of my hand because the little brat already had one. I may need that book.
I feel bad for making weak squash now!
Your blog and Honest Toddler are the only blogs I follow on a regular basis and I get so excited when I see a new post…. I was cracking up when you mentioned following Crappy Papa around reading from the book because I always leave your blog or HT open on the computer hoping he’ll read them when he gets home. He doesn’t get quite as excited as I do…. ๐
I enjoy the “Circle one” in a text message ๐
Started following @HonestToddler and find him hilarious!
I love the honest toddler!
I love honest toddler!
Ha! Love the Honest Toddler. ๐
Can’t wait o read this book! Would love to win it!
I repeat–“Where were these books when I was raising my own children?!?”
Badda bing. A comment appears!
I love both of you!
OMG I need this book! I love this kid!
Indeed – I could use some toddler humor after the week I’ve had!
I just looked at honest toddler’s FB page and he is hilarious!
You both crack me up. Thanks for making motherhood (especially motherhood of a toddler) a bit easier ๐
My kids are older but I still love both of your blogs. Honest Toddler doesn’t write much on his/her(?) blog but I do follow on facebook.
Living this site In Real Life.
i have been DYING to read HT’s book! yours was fab–i’d love to the crappy, honest set. ๐
You guys are both brilliant! ๐
Mr T has just hit toddler status so I really need this book to better take care of his needs ๐
Additionally, I have learned ALOT of what to expect in the coming months from this blog – keep it coming
I loved your book, and I’m so excited about this one too!
Love the text messages!
I am so glad the Honest Toddler introduced me to you!
Love love Honest Toddler. I’m constantly chuckling whenever I read any of his FB updates. ๐
My kids come equipped with wit and sarcasm just about as soon as they can talk. ๐
I was just looking at that book yesterday on Amazon.com. I had never heard of it before. It sounds hilarious!
Two great forces come together. Crappy Pictures and Honest Toddler. : )
Humor is good mommy medicine! Hook me up ๐
I definitely need to read this book!
I have a not-so-honest toddler.
Good stuff ๐
Sounds like crappy baby could be the next Walter Cronkite. Or MTV VJ..do they have those anymore? Anyways loved this post!
The text messages are too funny!
I’d love to follow my husband around laughing my butt off and reading sections.
You are a pure genius!!!
love your blog
Dying to read this!
My two favorite blogs united! Awesome!
Awesome!
Love reading Honest Toddler on facebook! I can’t wait to read the book.
Sounds like a great book.
A match made in heaven! Yay Honest Toddler and Crappy Pictures. ๐
Yup 2/3 of my favorite blogs. <3
What is the third?
I love honest toddler! Would thoroughly enjoy this book!
Comment
sounds good! My toddler is just in the “no!” to everything stage right now. “Want to get out of your high chair” “No!” “Ok, want to stay in your high chair?” “NO!”….
I want a free copy of your book too! But I’ll take The Honest Toddler as a consolation prize. No really, it’s a great blog too.
You two are my absolute favorites.
Awesome!
Why do they make kids vitamins taste like candy?
Those texts are priceless. Can’t wait to checkout more of Honest Toddler.
i LOVE this crappy blog. it mirrors my life so well but becasue it’s someone else’s life it allows me to see it from a different perspective and lose my crappy attitude over some of it. thanks for lifting my crappy spirits!
Next Crappy Baby should text with the dog of Texts From Dog fame. Like, really. Please.
You got peanut butter in my chocolate!
Always love your giveaways!
I’m excited to see Crappy Parenting and Honest Toddler combining forces!
I love the honest toddler. It made me so happy when I found out HT is a girl (because it means my girls aren’t the only ones!).
I love HT and Crappy Pictures! I wonder if HT could do a guest drawing?
Honest Toddle Rocks!
love both of these blogs!
I love HT! Thanks for hosting this giveaway. Honestly I hadn’t heard of this blog before, but now I have and will be sticking around. ๐
I’ve convinced my son that he loves his “medicine” and call them his teeny bears. He now constantly asks for them. May have backfired….
Love this!!
with a 24 month old daughter and a 4 month old son this book would bring some much needed levity to my days ๐
I love the Honest Toddler and Crappy Pictures, you should collaborate more!
Aaaaaaaaah!!! i would love this book so stinkin’ much!!!!
My toddler needs to step up her game. She has tons of time to write her own book!
Thanks for sharing another great blog to check out, I haven’t heard of Honest Toddler because I don’t really follow blogs other than this one and Jason Good. Come to think of it, I think I found Jason Good through Crappy Pictures too!
lol, me too! I follow a handful of blogs and I found them all through crappy when she drew pictures of other bloggers’ posts.
I love her twitter!!!
Honest Toddler’s book sounds hilarious. I can’t wait to read it!
I’ve wanted this book since it came out! This would be awesome!!!
Commenting.
I seriously just discovered The Honest Toddler last night on FB…the book is now on my must read list.
Honest Toddler is a hoot!
so glad someone else sees the truth of The Giving Tree!
Lovin’ this!!! Makes me laugh so much.
I love you both!
My life is complete knowing this book exists. It will look great next to my Crappy Baby book!
I love the texts between the 2 boys. I wish I could see into their minds!
With a 2 1/2 year old this sounds right up my alley!
What a fun play date that would be! Honest Toddler is hilarious.
Still laughing about watering down the pinot noir!
loved your book, and looking fwd to read this one too ๐
Your blog always makes me laugh.
I could use some good summer reading ๐
Sounds like a great book! Thank goodness for gummy vitamins! So much tastier and easier to convince a toddler to eat than the chalky vitamins I was forced to eat as a kid.
Sounds hilarious!
Fab!! Love it all!
I own a toddler as well, but mostly, I imagine this is what my 6 year old, mostly non-verbal Autistic son’s inner voice sounds like.
Dry sarcasam with a hint of exasperation.
We’re so proud. ๐
I love the “meet up” idea!
This is my favorite blog <3
Honest Toddler’s FB posts brighten my days. I need to read the book.
Can’t wait to read this!
I love this blog so I’m sure I’ll love Honest Toddler too!
I have started a rather large collection of fellow blogger’s books. This would fit in nicely.
Awesome.
Love Honest Toddler.
I would LOVE to win a copy of Honest Toddler’s book! I’ve been following his FB for just as long as yours. I’m planning to buy your book to read on vacation next month too… can’t wait to read it!!
I’d love a free copy! ๐
the universe aligns as my 2 favorite parenting blogs converge!
Thanks for turning me on to The Honest Toddler blog! Hilarious, as is yours!
I love honest toddler! I want this book!
I love Honest Toddler, and Crappy Pictures! I’d love more collaboration in the future! Maybe CP could illustrate on of HT’s musings?
Toddlers are hilarious. Thanks for sharing!
I LOVE the Honest Toddler! So funny! You two make a great couple!
Been following Honest Toddler for some time now – it’s the highlight of the moment when I check my tweets (I kind of suck at tweeting). Well, that and Anna Kendrick anything. But he’s really funny – and I’m sure his mom is too :).
I have been wanting this book! Pick me pick me!! ๐
Love Honest Toddler! I bet the book is hilarious!
Fun! I want the book!
I’m sure my son who is 8 would also steal this book and read it secretly until he found something too funny to bear alone and share it with me, outing himself for reading a book with questionably adult content about children. He loved your book, which I did not allow him to read but hey, at least he reads!
wow so many comments, anyway………how fab to have you both “team” up
Love the blog and honest toddler! My husband and I always read HT tweets to one another and crack up. The juice one is hilarious!!
So glad that these two were able to chat and I hope you blog about their play date….both your take and the Honest Toddler’s would be well worth the read!!
I don’t know if you’re supposed to comment or do the rafflecopter thingy but I clicked the link and it took me nowhere productive. Would love a chance to win the book! I loved reading yours and sent a copy to my cousin in Japan.
aaaah, two of my favorite blogs!!
OMGyes, The Giving Tree is molto depressing…
I can’t wait to read this one!
I love honest Toddler!
Love your blog & The Honest Toddler! My two favorite funny reads!
I love following my husband around reading him snippets of funny books!
I often wish I could record my child’s every conversation. this is genius
I have never seen this before. OMG Too Funny!!!! I’m dying to read the rest of it. Thanks for an awesome giveaway!!!
I love Honest Toddler! ๐
Can always use a good laugh ๐
I love crappy baby & honest toddler…I’ve had 2 of each in the past couple years!
Honest Toddler is hilarious. I’m thankful for humor like yours and theirs–every parent needs some! ๐
I’m conflicted. I must water down my drink if i water down my grandtoddler’s. Hmm…how about watering down my tequila with the pinot? Yeah?
Yes, there are special dispensations for mature adulterations. I find that one acceptable.
LOL! This book looks wonderful. I hope I win!!!
Someone came in and messed up our playroom too. We really should set a trap for that guy ๐
I LOVE your blog!
So funny!
Me! Me! Me!
The book looks so funny (not as good as yours of course) ๐
I’ll spare you the hassle of choosing a winner and just let you choose me. ๐
I love Honest Toddler! Fingers crossed ๐
Two awesome blogs teaming up AND my honest toddler takes a 2 1/2 hour nap! Truly, the planets have aligned.
I water down my sons juice ๐ feeling a bit bad about that now with the wine comment.
Love this site!
Really hope I win this! My HT would tell you I definitely need some improvement. ๐
I have a 3yr old and a 5yr old. Your pictures keep me sane. I love it.
I would LOVE to win this book. Laughter is the best medicine and I need a boat load of it!
looks hilarious! I’ll have to add it to my amazon list in case I don’t win…
Love your read
The book sounds so funny!
Sounds like a fun book, I’d love to read it!
“beautiful overalls” — loved it! Hope I win!
I loved YOUR book, so I’m sure this one is excellent as well.
Funny!
What a great pair! Both of you make me LOL!
The Honest Toddler has been talked about quite a bit recently. I’m curious to see what the buzz is all about; I feel like I just don’t get it yet.
Would love to win a copy!
Sounds interesting. Would love a copy.
Yay! Thanks for the fun giveaway
you two made my day
Too funny, love the screen shots
My toddler demands I win this book or her life is over!….well until lunchtime.
I love Honest Toddler!
Some insight into what I might be up against in a year or two. ๐
Great excerpts! I must read this.
That part about the giving tree is awesome!
My children will be nothing like HT. Or everything like him. I can’t decide what’s worse
I love HT! Keepin’ it real!! ๐
Ahhhhhh! I love HT!
I follow Honest Toddler on FB and share her statuses when they’re hilarious, which is often. Would love to read the book.
Seriously can’t wait until my boy is old enough to tell us what he really thinks.
So cute!
I’ve been meaning to get the Honest Toddler book for a while, but I haven’t had time to finish YOUR book yet. Still, I would absolutely LOVE to read it, so this would be perfect!
I love your blog!!! My little one is 5mo, and I feel like you are helping prepare me ๐
I so feel like these are conversations I will be having with my 20 month old soon…
Love the both of y’all!
I have a 5 year old… they are just gems!
I don’t even drink wine, and I was laughing at that one…so true…poor little guys!
Cuteness. My baby just turned one (doesn’t quite toddle yet = STILL MAH BAYBAY), and I am counting on the coming hilarity (it’s guaranteed, right?) as he starts talking more and more to assuage my grief over his expiring babyhood.
This looks very interesting.
Sounds like a great books!!!
Those text messages are awesome.
So funny, love HT!!
So fun! I’d love to win a copy!
HT is awesome! I’d love a copy of this book.
Sometimes in life you just need something like this book to make all the badness go away. The snippets you posted makes me want to read more!
Sounds hilarious! I’ll have to add this to my “to read” list.
This is great! Love the Honest Toddler!! ๐
The two of you together makes me a happy blog reader ๐
first of all, Luna moths don’t last very long.
Secondly, there is a painted turtle in Maine
who’s name is Turts Vagopala. According to my
three year old. who can speak turtle.
I would definitely give this to my sister since she is in the thick of the toddler years! (then she can give it to me in a couple of years when I’m in the thick of it) hehe
Fun giveaway!
Aaaah! I love Honest Toddler! Sometimes my kid looks at me like she’s channeling Honest Toddler….
I do love a good laugh.
Looks super cute.
one of my favorites!
My “Honest Toddler” says this book is “MINE!” He won’t share it, he promises. And if his “Crappy Baby” sister should get her hands on it, he will swiftly snatch it away and whack her on the head with it.
I LOVE the Honest Toddler so much.
Funny!
sounds funny!
This book looks like it’s a MUST READ!! And what an awesome giveaway! I will probably end up buying a new computer monitor if I read this book at my desk….it should come with a “so funny you’ll spit your drink all over your computer” warning.
hilarious
I’ve been stalking your site for what feels like a long, long time now. Everything you post is hilarious! I have been wanting to read the Honest Toddler; I’ve heard great things about it!
Honest Toddler sounds hilarious. All toddlers are honest in my experience, a little TOO honest sometimes!
I cannot wait to read this book. I haven’t seen this blog before, but I’m going to check it out now; looks funny!
Thank you for the awesome giveaway
Love the texts
I love Honest Toddler, and I love you. I never win these things. But if I win I will send you gummy vitamins! And juice!
Hope I win!
I love Honest Toddler!!
Haha this blog is so not crappy! I love it! Also a big Honest Toddler fan. Please give me free things! Please!
I love that kid!
My Levi (who will be 2 on Monday!!!) is funny enough and he isn’t a real talker yet. I can’t wait until he becomes more verbal….. Hahah!
I NEED the Honest Toddler book to add to my Parenting: Illustrated… book in the bathroom–tho ONLY place I’ve found I can read anymore! I love your blog! Cracks me up! Thanks for adding such delight to my day!
Hilarious!
The Honest Toddler never ceases to make me laugh!!
Gummy vitamins are the best.
This is great for a laugh
Hoping I win this book! I love both of these web sites so much!
I need this book

You both make me smile/laugh when I most need it!
I love my gummy prenatal vitamins…makes taking them so much more pleasant!

This book looks almost as funny as yours! Can’t wait for a free copy!
How non-crappy of you to think of us. ๐
sounds good
Love!!! You guys are funny! Would love a copy I the book!
Pick me! Pick me!
Cool!!
OMG, Honest Toddler is the best!
Definitely sounds like a book I want to read!!
Crappy Baby and Happy Toddler go together like peas and carrots. OK, like peanut butter and jelly!
love The Honest Toddler! (and i believe my daughter has been secretly getting tips from him/her…)
Cute!
too funny. gummy vitamins…a staple at our house.
Ooh why have I not heard of honest toddler before now?! Sounds like a book I could follow my husband around with while he pretended to listen!! ๐
Would love a copy. Please randomly pick me. ๐
I am leaving my blood sample right here.
HT and Crappy Pictures in one place!?! You made my crappy Friday!
these are hysterical! i’d love to read them all!
post more texts! theyre hilarious!
My toddler is not so vetbal but is plenty cheeky…gotta read this book for advice lol
I’m looking forward to my little guy growing up and talking more so I can have funny stories like these ๐
Hilarious!
My hubby and I follow Honest Toddler on Twitter. The most hilarious Twitter account there is. A lovely giveaway, thanks Amber. (Yours is the most hilarious blog there is.)
There should be a boxed set ๐
HT slays me, as do Crappy Pictures, of course!
I died laughing reading this book. The library forced me return it, and I want my very own copy.
i share your blog with other momma’s because you literally have me LOLing at my desk sometimes.
Thanks for the laughs ๐
Your book was so funny! I’m sure this one would be awesome too!
Sounds like a great book!
omg that’s awesome.
But what if your toddler wants you to add water? He doesn’t care what’s in the cup, just as long as it’s full to the top. Need to find a cup that never empties.
Would love to read her book!
I want a book!
really cute ๐
Honest Toddler and Crappy Baby makes me sooooo happy. It is good to finally see a crossover!
I love the honest toddler!
I can’t even begin to say how much I love HT. ๐
Can’t wait to read it!
LOVE HT and would love a book. Would love to see more HT and CB texts. So awesome.
Love love love Honest Toddler!
This looks hilarious and oddly I’ve never heard of it! Those of us with toddlers could definitely use a laugh every now and then!
Thanks for reminding me to go get more gummy vitamins! ๐
I love your blog. I have read some of HT blog. I can’t wait to read his book.
Hi, recently I made a review of your book (in Indonesian). I’m first-time father for one-month-old son. Both my wife and I were really enjoying your book, because there are some parts that really happened in our life together with the baby. It feels close and funny.
And now, it would be great if I could get my hand on The Honest Toddler. I promise, I will write another review for it.
i loooooovvvveeee you Honest Toddler, you are awesome!!!
Seriously, how do you guys come up with this? Out of the mouths of babes, indeed!
I love Honest Toddler!
Honest Toddler is always great for a laugh!!!
I love the snippet about watering down wine! I’d love to read more!
Crappy baby meets honest toddler would be a great post.
Sounds like the conversations my eldest used to have with her cousins that were 10months her senior and 7 months her junior!
I want to win…I’ve heard they are super duper funny!
Sounds like a funny book & man do I need a laugh.
I want gummy vitamins now too..
I need this book so hard. ( mother of a 2 year old beastly princess child)
Love it! Want the book ๐
Love your blog. Would love to win the book.
I would luv to win, I think I know HT real identity, she’s my goddaughter, lol
I love gummy vitamins. They’re not just great for kids. I just have to control myself and not sit down and eat them like candy.
I’ve read a few honest toddler blog posts. It’d be great to read the book!
My son calls his gummy vitamins his candy. He loves them! (They really do fix just about everything)
I love reading HT’s tweets–would love to read the book! Thanks for this giveaway!
I can’t wait to win the book and read it!
Love it!
LOVE THE HONEST TODDLER!
I love the honest toddler!
Love it! Never did understand that “watering down juice” nonsense! Either serve juice or serve water…that will just make them grow up liking neither! And God help the person who tries to water down my wine!! ๐
Love the Honest Toddler!
awesome!
I love your blog & Honest Toddler! I haven’t bought gummy vitamins because I’m worried about the kids getting the jar open & overdosing- too much like candy, and they love fruit snacks!
I want to know more from the honest toddler. Does it mention the difference between unsweetened Cheerios and “the good kind”? My kids discovered it today…
Uh oh! Looks like another blog I need to start reading!
My son loves his vitamins! He loves them so much sometimes I use them as a bribe to get him to finish his meal, ha!
The texts were great, sounds like the book is too ๐
I love The Honest Toddler! So hilarious!!
Crappy Baby asks some good questions. I see a career in journalism in his future.
Hilarious! Love THT blog!
My husband drinks his juice watered so our kids get it both ways, if watered they drink it like squash (but with less added sugar/sweetener).
Whooo!! HT *AND* Crappy Baby??? That’s win-win right there!
Yay! Love the Honest Toddler. And the kid’s mom, too. ๐
So funny!
I don’t have a toddler, but I still need this book. I can tell.
I’m trying to imagine my 2.9 year old texting with one of her friends…I wonder if Android voice/talk input would even transcribe that. OK, it’s settled. I’m trying it tomorrow and reporting back…
Gummy anything could solve the world’s problems!
I try to do this kind of thing with my son but he just isn’t into it. Your kids are hilarious though!
I loved your book, so I am sure I will love any book you recommend! ๐
Love THT and Crappy baby-you guys always make me chuckle
I love honest toddler.
Oh boy! I think crappy baby needs to call my 2.5yo. I cannot imagine what it would sound like!
I love Honest Toddler, can’t wait to win this book (here’s to the power of positive thinking lol).
I just love reading the messages! so hilarious!!!!
I followed my husband around reading snippets of YOUR book to him and saying “Brilliant!”
My husband actually got me hooked on Honest Toddler! We love it!
This takes me back to reading Calvin and Hobbes. What a crazy kid…
Sounds like a good book. I love your blog!
Love this type of comic relief! You have to laugh at the situations you find yourself in with toddlers-I hope when I am old I remember all the funny stories!
Sounds funny! Would love to read it!
Many times, I am glad I am just normal. Gummy vitamin fixes everything in my household, too!
Hi there.. you always make me laugh. ๐
I think my next blog should be called “Crappy and Honest” because that’s pretty much how I roll. Love you both!
I love conversations with small children. Such a hoot!
Cute. Toddlers are geniuses. Mad, mad geniuses!!!
This is great!!!
I love The Honest Toddler!
I’ve never heard of “The Honest Toddler” blog before. It sounds hilarious! I’m going to check it out right after I finish typing this comment. ๐
Kindle version would be good for me ๐
I love your blog! Thank you for being awesome ๐
So hilarious!
That sounds like a great book!
Very funny! Love Honest Toddlers FB page too!
Love your blog!! love your pictures ๐ can’t wait to read your book
after a particularly awful day my husband and I both sat in the livingroom on separate laptops reading each other posts from The Honest Toddler and laughing so hard we could barely breathe. Priceless…
Another blog to read? OK! Looking forward to reading more Honest Toddler.
Would love to read the book ๐
Sounds like a great book!
I need this book
Wondering to myself if this book qualifies as a bed time story or if I’ll get it thrown at me. Thoughts?
haha… love Honest Toddler.
Love the Honest Toddler–I follow on FB and Twitter!
I’d love to win!
this book sounds so funny! i would love to own a copy :] thanks for this chance!
Can’t wait to explore Honest Toddler! Thanks for the introduction
Honest Toddler is so funny!
That is adorable.
I just love the Honest Toddler…I sometimes wonder what is going on in my son’s head…and then I read a post and think, YUP! Especially when he gives me that “look”…then taps his lips and says “hmmmm”…(he’s judging me, I can tell)
this books sounds hilARious! would make a great birthday present *hint*hint* as my birthday is on the 3rd. ๐
sounds funny!
I love all your post! I really enjoy taking a break from the frustrations of my day with my kiddo and remembering that there is so much to laugh at and enjoy when you have children.
as the saying goes – Kids say the darnedest things
This is great! I just saw a real-live copy of your book today!
Book Give[ItToMe]Away! Hooray!
love HT – have been reading all her tweets since this time last year!
HT is so funny…I know this is what my daughter thinks!
lOVE THIS!!!! Would love to win a copy, fingers crossed!
Me. Me. Pick me and if I win you all can come to my house for full strength juice and gummi vitamins!
Love The Honest Toddler blog!!!!
Hmm, another blog to check out… I read this one most often while nursing my first, laughing and wondering what adventures she will introduce to my life in the next few years. ๐
Hilarious!!!
Love the whole texting between kids… and the smart alecky answers!
HAHAHAHA!!! Love me some honest toddler! Read HT to understand my own toddler and read CP to LMAO!! ~Thanks, I am super excited about the giveaway!
HT cracks me up!
I really, REALLY want this book. I would probably sell my toddler to get one. Maybe.
snicker. I will still be watering down juice and not watering down wine!!! But to be fair I water down my own juice
Would love this book! Love yours, Amber!
Love the questions and answers ๐
I read Honest Toddler tweets to my MIL and we die laughing!!!
ha! i love the watered down juice snippet… i have always wondered if i am the bad parent because i always give the juice full strength…. no one is messing with my red wine, so why should i mess with their apple juice. ๐
Love Honest Toddler!
This sounds great!
gummy vitamins are awesome!
you are expanding my library! love finding new books i need to read ๐
thanks for the chance to win a copy!
It’s like the perfect mommy marriage: Honest Toddler and Crappy Baby.
Honest toddler–so true it makes me cry.
I want both of your books!!
Would love to win a book!
My 3 year old would be great to text with.
๐
Always looking for something funny to read!
Funny, that’s how I responded to your book – followed people around, reading parts out loud:)
I would love that book, but I don’t think there is a chance a SLovak will win it ๐
The toddler insanity is just starting for us. I <3 the honest toddler. So perfect!
Oh crappy baby you are awesome!
Funny!
I love all the camaraderie among Mommy bloghers! It makes me want to write a witty, loveable blog… alas I have no dedication and no talent! I’ll just love yours and be jealous!
I could use some witty humor this Summer! Thanks for sharing
Love it!
This book sounds great… I loved ur book. Love getting good laughs ๐
Some days I wish my small fry could text and tell me what she wants…
I definitely could use some good laughs! And I probably shouldn’t admit this, but I still need to get a copy of your book for my bathroom (so let me know if you’re doing another giveaway of that too!;) Except that I hardly ever win stuff. So I should just suck it up and buy them. Except I have too much stuff and not enough money. So I should probably buy your and just sign up for her blog for a while first.
LOVE Honest Toddler. I swear, he sometimes channels my almost three year old.
Love Honest Toddler, and really need to buy this book for myself and for a good friend who just had her first child.
Always looking for a good book to keep me laughing…
Love reading the Honest Toddler status updates! Im sure I would love this book!
THIS BOOK LOOKS GREAT!
THIS BOOK LOOKS GREAT! CANT WAIT TO TRY IT
Gotta love it!
Always interested in free books that will make me laugh ๐
I love Honest Toddler! I wish we could see more of a crossover, this post was super fun ๐
I have to hide the gummy vitamins at our house! Also, the candy flavored kid toothpaste. They try to binge on the strangest things…
I LOVE the honest Toddler! ๐
I have a toddler, and so far she’s pretty honest (“No no dance Mama!” “Walk away, Papa!”).
My 2yo already knows how to work my phone better than I do – it’s only a matter of time before you start getting texts from her.
I haven’t read much of the Honest Toddler, but my 11-month old is going to be there soon, so I’d better study up!
I think my toddler has been talking to the HT. I get comments all the time about how “this juice doesn’t taste good” when I dilute it!
I’d love to win!
So funny! Toddlers really are honest!
love this stuff! so true and creative!
Love the text messages! I need another book with which to follow my husband around! I can’t tell you how often I say, “Do you want me to read this to you?”
Love the description of The Giving Tree. Yep, that about sums it up.
I’d never heard of “The Honest Toddler” before reading this post. Sounds hilarious!
Oh please me. I need a little more insight into my crazy 2-year-old’s mind… Awesome giveaway! ๐
i love your blog Amber, thanks for making me laugh everyday! i’d love to have a copy of your book when i can’t walk around with my computer!
Pleeeease oh pleeeeasse pick me! >.<
Oooh, so curious on the book.
๐
Very cute.
Dax is just starting to make funny statements. But he doesn’t realize he’s funny yet until we laugh!
Honest Toddler cracks me up!
Funny!
Love you both! The bright spots in my days ๐
What would kids do without gummy vitamins!!
I really want this book. I really need this book.
I LOVE Honest Toddler! She’s so funny!
Love both blogs!
I don’t even have kids of my own yet, but I follow Honest Toddler on Twitter and FB. LOVE IT!
Oh, how I miss those toddler days! Although, my 6 year-old proclaimed to me (after taking a walk with his older brother and our neighbor the other day in new shoes & no socks), “Look Mom, I got a blizzard!” while showing me the blister on the back of his heel! ๐
Looks like I’m gonna have another mom to gain some wisdom from! ๐
Thanks so much!
Love the idea of an Honest Toddler/Crappy baby convo! Very cute!
Given how much I like your stuff, if you really liked this book, I’ll probably like it too.
This looks really good! I can’t wait to read…
Can’t wait to read this book!
love both of your blogs!
Yay! I can finally comment! Love the Honest Toddler!
love this!
This looks hilarious! Kind of like Texts from Dog.
hope it’s as good as your book!
hi! I don’t have a tweeter ๐
I want this book SO BAD!!!!!! Looks *almost* as hilarious as yours ๐
I totally watered down my kids’ juice!
So excited about my two favorite ‘kids’ teaming up…yah Crappy Baby and Honest Toddler!!
I would love to read this book. My litte one will be two in August so maybe I will finally get a chance to read something without being attacked by crying! or maybe not.. lol.
LOVE your blog & love Honest Toddler. Both crack me up – just what this mommy needs. ๐
Bahaha. I love this blog so much. My husband and I both get a kick out of reading your posts. I cannot wait til my soft spoken 20 month old starts talking more. Oh boy. <3
hilarious, the honest toddler is very funny.
LOVE the Honest Toddler! Hilarious ๐

My husband’s asking for gummy vitamins too! He was very happy when we saw the commercial of the new ones for adults… ๐
I love honest toddler!!
This sounds hilarious! Can’t wait to read it.
Commenting bc I. Already checked the box that said I commented. ๐ But really commenting cuz I LOVE Honest Toddler and will get the book regardless, but a free copy would be awesome!
I love Honest Toddler and I’m glad your promoting the book. Two awesome Internet entities unite!
Finally have some time to read again, would love to read this one!
Honesty is the best policy after all!
I love how it shows exactly how my toddlers think lol
Love it!!
Ok, I’m going to end up buying this if I don’t win, so please save me some money!!
Honest Toddler is ah-mazing! Loving the text message conversation.
I love the honest toddler and hope my almost toddler speaks the same kind of truth.
This sounds like one I would enjoy reading.
Love honest toddler! One of my favorite entries on her blog was when HT mom had a friend with a new baby visit.
Love all the giveaways! Thanks.
Honest Toddler Rocks!
I’ve been reading The Honest Toddler for a long time now and I’ve never fail laugh at a post.
Haha! “Circle one”.
I can’t wait to read this book! I hope I win! Thanks for sharing so many great parenting books (the kind that don’t give advice, but help me laugh at myself) =)
I know there is a smile waiting every time I see your post come through my email!
I’ve been DYING to get this book! The Honest Toddler twitter feed is hilarious!
funny!!
How Cute
Love me some HT!!! She’s always keepin it real.
I love the Honest Toddler!Hon
Text messages are so funny!
crappy pics and honest toddler make me LOL!
It’s my turn to win!! ๐
Aww this is too cute!!! I’d love it!
Love Honest Toddler! I really feel like it’s an insight into my 2 year old’s brain. This morning he woke up my husband by whispering in his ear, “Candy. Get it. Open it.” over and over. I feel like he might have learned that one from HT. ๐
Wishing I had a twitter right now so I could have a better chance if winning!
First time entering, long time reader! Love your site, please never stop. You help me remember that parenting two boys can be hilarious, too. ๐
I’ve never heard of Honest Toddler before. I will definitely have to check it out.
Would sure love to win this book! I need some laughs right about now. Thanks so much for the chance!!
ha, “following my husband around for two days reading him stuff and saying, โItโs brilliant!โ over and over”… that’s exactly what I do!! The last book I did that with was The Etymologicon (seriously. Look on Amazon).
Love Honest Toddler, would love to win this book. Thanks!
My two favorite blogs, working together! Love it.
OMG! I never win anything!!! I’m so excited!
