Stephanie Wilder-Taylor, author of the hit book Sippy Cups Are Not for Chardonnay, tackles the tumultuous toddler years in this witty parenting guide.

Motherhood—it's not for wimps.

Once the zigzagging hormones and endless, bleary-eyed exhaustion of the first year have worn off, you're left with the startling realization that your tiny, immobile bundle has become a rampaging toddler, complete with his or her very own, very forceful personality.

Just as Sippy Cups Are Not for Chardonnay helped debunk decades of parenting myths to offer honest advice for the first year, Naptime Is the New Happy Hour is a voice of reason for every woman facing questions such as: Will refined sugar make my toddler's head explode? Is it wrong to have a cocktail at two in the afternoon? And what exactly is a Backyardigan?

With biting wit and boatloads of common sense, Stefanie Wilder-Taylor addresses all these concerns and more. Whether it's planning easy outings that are fun for both of you (fact: your child will find the local Target just as scintillating as the Guggenheim), dishing the dirt on preschool TV (those mothers who swear their kids don't watch television? Liars or psychos, every one), or perfecting the art of the play date, readers will find advice, anecdotes, and a reassuring sense of camaraderie to help them survive—and even thrive—during each hilarious, frustrating, and amazing moment.

Wilder-Taylor Nails It - Again

Reviewed in the United States on April 14, 2008

All those who are a fan of Sippy Cups Are Not For Chardonnay will not be disappointed. Naptime is hilarious, honest, and as entertaining as Wilder-Taylor's first book, and much more, because she has been in the trenches and is now actually reporting on the current state of "mommy affairs" from the "field." The result is a funny, honest portrayal of "toddler" issues. Subjects ranging from potty training, big-kid bed transition, psycho mommies, at-home mom world issues, married sex, mom body changes, and much much more are handled with the author's signature wit and style. The author clearly lets all those moms unsuccessfully aspiring to "perfect mommydom" that they can "let it go" and that they are NOT alone. Check out her mathematical equations in the Chapter entitled "Supermom" or "Superliar" - hilarious!

I loved this book so much that I bought all of her books! I can't wait until someone I know gets pregnant so that I can give her these books as a baby shower gift as well! A must read for all moms!
Stefanie Wilder-Taylor is hilarious! I learned about her books through her podcast, For Crying Out Loud. I also LOVE her tv show on Nick Jr., Patental discretion.
I have a 2 year old and 6 month old. There are a lot if times where I wonder how am going to get threw this day without sleep. I once found spit up in my hair and honestly didn't know how long it had been there! Hours? Days?
These books and the podcast/tv show bring sanity into my life. So so funny!!!

I enjoyed this read but I was hoping for more stories about dealing with the toddler. Seemed to have a lot to do with the author's experience moving to a new neighborhood and making other mom friends. I particularly enjoyed the bit about the cooking gadget party. She confesses to thoughts that most of us have during those types of things. I found the sarcastic humor overdone sometimes and it came off like she was trying too hard. But overall a fun little read and fun to share with the girlfriends.

I love her blog, I enjoyed her first book because it made me feel like all the things I was feeling about motherhood, others had felt too and it was funny.

This book, wow, I find myself laughing out loud, I also find myself leaving it out and going back to specific stories and chapters to read again how kiddos can turn your world upside down and your heart inside out.

I love knowing that in raising toddlers, there is humor and comraderie.

Loved it.

what a great find

This book was in my recommendations list, i took a chance and got it. It was so funny and insightful. a very truthful look and being a mommy to a toddler. laugh out loud funny, but also so good to know that you are not the only one out there dealing with this crazy life. I am the only one of my friends with a toddler, and i had been really having a hard time trying to be supermom and this book got through where my mom, my hubby and 2 therapists could not and that is the only person that expects me to be perfect is myself. So i know i got a little deep there for basically comedy book, but this really snapped me out of those long lasting baby (and toddler) blues!

Great read

Love the author's sense of humor. I read a criticism somewhere that said this author was cynical...I think the person who wrote that probably didn't have a sense of humor. Laughter is the best way to keep from letting a toddler make you insane and I think this book is perfect for any parent of a toddler.

Meh. This book was okay. Not as funny as the mommy blogs that I can read for free online. I bought this book based on other good reviews, but honestly, I think those reviewers were mostly her friends and family, or they just felt bad saying something for fear of hurting the author's feelings.

Don't get me started!

Reviewed in the United States on May 12, 2009

This book had tons of promise, but the author continuously takes every situation just a little too far. The voice of the narrator sounds too much like a washed up stand up comedian trying a little too hard, trying to boil every situation into a little zinger that more often than not falls flat. The quirky little mannerisms presumably inserted for comedic effect ("Can I get a whoop whoop? Hahaha!") truly made the book sad. I love mommy humor as much as this next person but I am sure there are better books out there.
