Rock Star Mommy: My Life As A Rocker Mom Review

Rock Star Mommy is a rallying cry for every woman who fondly recalls when she spent more time in mosh pits than “Mommy and Me” classes to adopt a rock ‘n roll attitude toward life. Based on Judy Davids’ experiences as a music fan, a mother, and the leader of one of the first “mommy” rock bands in the country, it tells the story of the Mydols’ path to success and the inspiration it gave Judy—and so many other moms—to embrace creativity and pursue their dreams. In Rock Star Mommy, Judy Davids tells her story — from using Manic Panic to dye her hair pink to donning a pair of go-go boots and hopping onstage to toting sound equipment around in her soccer mom minivan—and proves that making time to do what you love does not make you a bad parent, but a better, more fulfilled, and happier one.

This is a definite must read for any Mommy who has the music playing, hips swaying, singing urge to follow their dream of being a rock star. From figuring out who would play what instrument (they never played anything previously) and naming their bands to performing with the bass player from the Go-Gos, the Mydols (great name by the way) have really made a name for themselves and are living the life that many of us only dream about.

Going from a typical mold of soccer mom to a rocker mom just proves that all women have inner desires and dreams and all it takes is a little push in the right direction to be on your way to living those very dreams. And while there may be bumps along the road you have what it takes to overcome them and be a superstar!!! I highly recommend this book to everyone, especially the inner rock star mommies!

Filled with tips like what to wear for photos, and how to entertain the crowd (which is not just the lead singers job) to Mom-Rock Lingo like:

• Skins: Slang for drums.
• Skin: What you don’t want to see too much of in a photograph of a mom band.

This is a great book and Judy did a wonderful job showing what a rocker moms life is like in her eyes. I feel like a Rocker Mom for just reading the book.
