• 126. Why 80s and 90s Kids Had the Best Childhoods (and the Best TV Shows)

  If you grew up in the 80s or 90s, this episode is basically a warm hug made of slap bracelets, Lisa Frank stickers, and the smell of a Blockbuster on a Friday night.In this episode, I’m taking a little trip down memory lane to celebrate the absolute best childhood decades — the 80s and 90s. Back when we played outside until the streetlights came on, drank from the garden hose, and somehow survived toys that were equal parts fun and dangerous.Remember when TGIF was the highlight of the week? Family Matters, Full House, Boy Meets World — I can still sing every single theme song. And Saturday morning cartoons? That was the best for kids. We woke up early on purpose, poured a giant bowl of cereal, and watched hours of pure joy.We didn’t have iPads or streaming — we had patience, creativity, and boredom, and honestly, it made us awesome.So today, I’m laughing my way through all the reasons growing up in the 80s and 90s was simply the best — and how I’m trying to bring some of that freedom and simplicity into motherhood today.☀️ In This Episode, I Chat About:Why being a free-range kid was the best kind of childhoodThe weird, wonderful, slightly dangerous toys that shaped usThe glory days of TGIF (and why Danny Tanner > YouTube families)Saturday morning cartoons and sugary cereal magicThe struggle of dial-up internet and the art of the mixtapeHow we can give our kids a taste of that 90s-style simplicity🧃 This Episode Is For You If:You can still sing every word to the Full House theme song, think kids today are missing out on boredom, and occasionally miss the thrill of renting a VHS tape on a Friday night.📺 Watch the episode on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLOpw5ui4uxJHx0tLFVtpnfSkpObfc4d-KYou can find Katie at:website: burntpancakes.comYouTube: @burnt.pancakesInstagram: @burntpancakeswithkatieEmail: [email protected]🚽 Did you know Katie is also a Certified Potty Trainer? 🚽☎️ Schedule a 1:1 chat today: Schedule Here💻 Digital Potty Training Course HERE📖 Potty Training E-Book HERE🆓 FREE potty training resources HEREInstagram: @itspottytimeTiktok: @itspottytime_Some episodes include affiliate links at no cost to you.

• 125. Parenting Tips, Wine Sips, and Laughs with Danielle Frank

  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 dramaWhether you’re a mom who loves wine, needs a laugh, or just wants to feel seen — this episode is your perfect pour.Connect with Danielle Frank: 📖 A Wine Lover’s Guide to Parenting — https://amzn.to/3JB65To 📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/createagreatstory/📺 Watch the episode on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLOpw5ui4uxJHx0tLFVtpnfSkpObfc4d-KYou can find Katie at:website: burntpancakes.comYouTube: @burnt.pancakesInstagram: @burntpancakeswithkatieEmail: [email protected]🚽 Did you know Katie is also a Certified Potty Trainer? 🚽☎️ Schedule a 1:1 chat today: Schedule Here💻 Digital Potty Training Course HERE📖 Potty Training E-Book HERE🆓 FREE potty training resources HEREInstagram: @itspottytimeTiktok: @itspottytime_Some episodes include affiliate links at no cost to you.

• 124. Generations of Parenting: How Boomers, Gen X, Millennials, and Gen Z Are Raising the Future

  In today’s episode of Burnt Pancakes: Momversations, we’re taking a time-traveling trip through parenting history, from the days of “Because I said so!” to the era of “Let’s name our feelings.”After a funny moment when my husband sounded exactly like his dad, we started wondering… Are we really parenting differently than the generations before us? Or have we just rebranded the same rules with softer language and better snacks?We break down generational parenting styles including:Boomer parenting (1946–1964): Structure, discipline, and responsibilityGen X parenting (1965–1980): Independence and problem-solvingMillennial parenting (1981–1996): Emotional intelligence and gentle guidanceGen Z parenting (1997–2012): Vulnerability and mental health awarenessGen Alpha (2013–present): Screen-savvy, emotionally aware, and always looking for the iPad chargerYou’ll hear: ✅ What each generation brought to parenting ✅ The benefits each generation passed down ✅ How every era shapes the next ✅ Why every parent thinks their kids might not survive adulthood ✅ A humorous look at Gen Alpha kids and their “skibidi” slangThe big takeaway? No generation nailed this whole parenting thing — but every generation moved us forward in some way.We may cringe when we hear ourselves say the things our parents said… but maybe they were on to something after all.📺 Watch the episode on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLOpw5ui4uxJHx0tLFVtpnfSkpObfc4d-KYou can find Katie at:website: burntpancakes.comYouTube: @burnt.pancakesInstagram: @burntpancakeswithkatieEmail: [email protected]🚽 Did you know Katie is also a Certified Potty Trainer? 🚽☎️ Schedule a 1:1 chat today: Schedule Here💻 Digital Potty Training Course HERE📖 Potty Training E-Book HERE🆓 FREE potty training resources HEREInstagram: @itspottytimeTiktok: @itspottytime_Some episodes include affiliate links at no cost to you.
