Right now, Javier’s mom Meri is wildly happy cleaning our house with our brand new steam cleaner – she LOVES it, and I love that our house looks and […]

A Very McClure Thanksgiving
A couple of my friends mentioned that Thanksgiving is their favorite time of the year because it kicks off the holiday season, and I agree wholeheartedly. Thanksgiving is great because you get to see your family, take off of work / school for a few days, and you know there is still a month to […]
