Mod Mom Mixology

If you know me by now, you get how perfect it is that I am this week's Mixologist for the More Than A Mommies Mixer.   If you're new here because you're hopping on over, welcome!  I'm Mod Mom and if you peruse the menu archives, you'll find a lot of cocktail recipes I've posted during my tenure here and I'll tell you right now that one of my favorites is the Cherry Pie martini.  

A little bit about myself:  I'm mom to two boys, M1 (13) and M2 (6).  My husband Kev and I are musicians and we met when he answered an ad I placed in a music paper in search of a lead guitarist for an Indie Americana band I was forming called Jehova Waitresses.  He could play the hell out of the Gretsch Country Gentleman he pulled out of the case that day and he was cute, so I ended up marrying him.  We like to joke that I got two for one for my classified ad.  Remarkably, after years of touring, recording and raising kids, we still haven't killed each other.  

I'm also a pug wrangler.  I'm a little a lot pug-co-dependent.  Check out the All You Need Is Pug section above for gratuitous pug photos.  Here's my favorite: 


That's Pancho & Lefty and they do pug ballet.  I think "Pugcracker Suite" is in their future.

Comedy is my thing.  I write song parodies and I write for the comedy websites Aiming Low and Funny Not Slutty and I contribute to Bonbon Break.

Perhaps my favorite blog post to date is still Mod Mom's Book of Questionable Nursery Rhymes and my favorite parody is my vaginal anthem and ode to women's rights The Ballad of My Vagina, which earned me a #1 spot on ALLTOP.

  5. Mixologist AND pug-co-dependent? Yeah, you're a girl after my own heart. Love my martinis and I love my boy pug. Tried to send you his pic on FB but for some reason it wouldn't go through. I'm already a fan on your GFC and Pinterest, but decided I needed a little more of your awesomeness so I just subscribed via email. Where there is pugs I will follow....

  7. I listened to your Taylor Swift parody and LMAO the day that you posted...after that I thought, "She would be a great mixologist for the MTMmixer this week." Seriously I did. AND then your number got pulled. A totally random coincidence. But I knew it was meant to be! So happy that you hosted with us this weekend! Love ya! P.S. that pug picture is awesome.

    1. That is so funny! Telepathy. I was so jazzed when I saw I was going to be the Mixologist because I do Cocktail Saturday every week. I had a great time co-hosting - thanks!
