From the book description: "For young single women, every night is Ladies' Night. For Brett Paesel and her friends, Friday happy hour is all they get-if they can wrangle the babysitting. Like most mommies, they support each other through pregnancies, sleep deprivation, and the need to talk about it all. Instead of meeting at the playground, they convene at the local watering hole while sipping Black and Tans and flirting with the cute bartender."

I really enjoyed this book. Sometimes it's hard to believe it's non-fiction - it's so OUT THERE, especially the thoughts of big, hairy penises.

Mommies Who Drink is hilarious, real life, and down to earth. As the book goes on, Brett becomes more comfortable in motherhood, and her observations on parenthood become more endearing and poignant.

A great baby shower gift for the expantant, yet hip, mother.

There's more to being the Mommy than Gymboree and chicken nuggets. Brett Paesel's memoir of life as an "ordinary mom" will make your mom laugh and cry and think.
