Writer Janet Frongillo wrote a cocktail recipe book for today’s moms called Mommy Mixology: A Cocktail for Every Calamity book which is a perfect blend of humor and alcohol. “There are no juice boxes in Mojitos” according to Janet. As a matter of fact she has a cocktail for every major event in a mother’s life. Baby is teething, have a cocktail; First day of school, how about a cocktail? Your princess has been dropping F-bombs at the neighbor’s house; I guess it’s time to have a cocktail.
This book is really a lot of fun and a perfect gift for a baby shower. Janet blends humor with the trials and tribulations of motherhood. There isn’t a time when any mom, no matter how old their kids are, hasn’t said the words “I need a drink”. Janet simply put that sentiment to good use in her cocktail mixology recipe book. Most of the recipies you have heard of before, Janet just gives it a funny name. For instance “Mouthy Muchacho” and “Son of a Beach” each drink comes with a story of how Janet came upon needing it. Each story will make you laugh and each drink will make you relax and not sweat the small stuff so much.
Janet Frongillo is a master at turning ordinary mommy life into extraordinarily funny adventures in life. You can get a better feel for her style by checking out her blog Muffintopmommy.com and you can purchase the Mommy Mixology: A Cocktail for Every Calamity at your local book store or on Amazon.com. I promise you will really enjoy it and again, I can’t stress enough what a great gift it makes for your best friend who is about to enter the joys of motherhood.
