Press
My book, Preggatinis, has gotten more than its fair share of favorable mentions… and frankly, I couldn’t be more thrilled. Below is a list of what folks had to say about my baby, as well as the people who invited me to do cocktail demos on their TV & radio shows and the famous people who sipped Preggatinis at their baby showers. Yes, this is the page where I get to brag a bit, and make my mama proud.
