Hi, thanks for stopping in! Here at Bring Mommy A Martini, I write to you just like I talk to my BFF’s about parenting (but it’s most certainly not your traditional “mommy” blog), family relationships and family history, the therapeutic benefits of dogs, and how to keep a sense of humor among #allthethings life throws our way.

Whether you’re interested in learning about therapy dogs, worried that your child won’t survive a minute on their own, interested in learning how to choose happiness when it seems impossible to do so, or heartfelt worries from a mom dealing with glitches in child-rearing, there’s something for everybody up in here.
