Just Some Stuff and Some Things I Did Not Do

February 8, 2010

Not Me! Monday was created by MckMama from a desire to be brutally honest about our imperfections and shortcomings and reveal a few moments we’d rather forget. It is cheaper than therapy and therefore, you should join in the fun! Now, for the things I most certainly did not do this week…. There is no way [...]

The McFamily Christmas Letter

November 18, 2009

In fact, thanks to my unwillingness to reamain on bed-rest on my 29th birthday, I had Stevie one day later on December 12th. McDaddy was happy that [...]

October 16, 2009

What would you do if you knew you would not fail?   Recently I heard this quote and it has taken root in my brain. I have thought a lot about roads in my life that I turned off of, afraid that I would never see the end of the street. If I knew I [...]

A Season Of Change

September 10, 2009

I love the changing colors of the leaves. (Did I mention orange was my favorite color?) And, I love, love, love pumpkins, scarecrows and hay. I really [...]
