Reasons Mommy Drinks

Since I am going to enjoy the local Beerfest this evening - I thought it might be appropriate to tell you about a book I just read called "Reasons Mommy Drinks" :)

The best part about this book? 100 cocktail (and mocktail) recipes. Yep, as a new mom, sometimes you need a good drink! One of my favorites?

The authors of Reasons Mommy Drinks, Lyranda Martin Evans and Fiona Stevenson, not only give us recipes for all the crazy situations that we end up in, they also add incredibly humorous discussions of all those moments - "the in-laws,""the end of maternity leave,""your first birthday,""sex..." and many many more. All complete with humor and a recipe! 

I definitely relate to some of the stranger chapters...ones we don't normally talk about, but that all new moms need to read ;)

If you are a new mom, I highly recommend this book for a reminder of the humorous side on sleep deprivation...and other maladies. You need a copy of Reasons Mommy Drinks - even if just for all the great recipes! 

As a member of From Left to Write, I received a review copy of the book for free.
