We interview Michael P. Foley, author of Drinking With The Saints:  

The Sinner’s Guide to a Holy Happy Hou

We address the topic of why a niche book like this matters for busy parents!  Michael and his wife homeschool their six kids, AND like a nice cocktail, so definitely experts on this particular topic.   Michael walks us through not only the importance of a good cocktail, but also a good celebration and a good strategy.
