The moment this pitch showed up in my inbox, asking if I would like to review this book, I knew I had to. Shoot…I could definitely write my own version of this book. If you’ve at all been following along on my Facebook page, you will see that I am more than ready for school to start in 16 days, 8 hours, 54 minutes and 38 seconds. Yep…I’m counting down!
About the Book
“Being a new mom is ‘AHHHH! WHAT HAVE I DONE?’ hard. Why are all those tiny clothes so expensive? Who wrote these mind-numbing board books? Will Mommy every carry a purse again that’s not a diaper bag? And how is she even functioning off so little sleep? Reasons Mommy Drinks is a fresh, insightful, and hilarious collection of the various struggles faced by new parents–from mommy groups and single-people envy to the end of maternity leave–with a well-deserved cocktail recipe to go with each one. This must-have resource will help sleep-deprived new moms survive the baby years with their sense of humor, if not their lives as they once knew them, intact”
My thoughts
I absolutely LOVE this book and think every mom needs a copy of this. I can completely relate to almost all of the stories in the book and I like how there is a recipe to go along with each story. My absolutely FAVORITE story is the one title, Grandma. It talks about how grandma means well, but she’s driving you crazy with all her “advice” that really isn’t advice…yep…we can all relate! And as if the cocktail recipe wasn’t awesome already, but there is also a “pacifier rating system” below each recipe that determines how badly you need this cocktail!
This will definitely be something I add to each and every baby shower gift in the future!! But, while I wait for people to have babies, I’ll just start trying out all the different cocktails!
