Penny’s First Christmas
The new year is under way and Christmas is getting too far away from me! So before another day goes by I want to share these photos from a terrific holiday with family. I’m always a little sad when Christmas is over…I LOVE the anticipation, the joy, the decorations, and especially the lights. I remember […]

‘Merica party
On April 19 I became an American citizen and for quite a while we planned on having a big America party to celebrate. We wanted to have as many family and friends at the party as possible, but due to vacation schedules, shows, gigs, work, etc…we couldn’t find a good time to have this party […]

Memorial Day cookout
By the time we got to Memorial Day after that crazy wedding weekend, Javier and I were exhausted but we still wanted to kick off the summer with an inaugural barbecue in the backyard. I invited my parents and a few friends over and we brought out the horseshoe set for a friendly, hardly competitive few games […]

Double wedding weekend!
Last weekend was an insane, crazy whirlwind mixture of fun, friends, dresses, cameras, brides and grooms, wine, beer, coffee, exhaustion, second winds, food, music, scenic views and a million other amazing things. Friday kicked off the weekend festivities with Nikita and Jordan’s rehearsal dinner back at Sylvia’s house where her wedding shower was. The whole […]

Merry Christmas!!
Merry Christmas from the Los Rodriguez / McClure households! This post is a little out of order because we have a ton of pre-Christmas events to share, but those things can wait. We’ve had such an amazing couple of days! Last Wednesday my aunt Regena arrived in Nashville and then on Christmas eve eve my […]

Epic Show Flier v 2.0
It’s here! It’s here! One year after Javier drew the last epic show flier for the last Christmas show at Puckett’s, here’s the new one for this year’s Christmas Show (also at Puckett’s)! It’s great being married to such a goofy, talented guy. So yes, consider this the official announcement for my next show with […]

Friends, food and the Nutcracker
It’s taken me a few extra weeks to get into the “Christmas spirit” (last year I had my decorations up by the second week of November!) but if I was still not into it by the beginning of this weekend, I’m definitely feeling it now! We had two holiday gatherings this weekend and – my all time […]

Another very McClure Thanksgiving!
Happy belated Thanksgiving!! We are still recovering from turkey / corn casserole / sweet potato / praline pie comas…Yesterday was a total blast. We drove up to Louisville with my parents on Wednesday evening after Javier got off work and made it to my aunt Marian and uncle Stephen’s house by around 10:30. The traffic […]

Los Rodriguez Mansion: Ready for Halloween!
During our stay in Chris and Danielle’s home in Cincinnati we got really excited about their Halloween decorations. They love Halloween and at that point we hadn’t even thought about decorating our house. It’s not that we don’t like Halloween but we didn’t want to pay full in-season prices for Halloween decor (as Dani said: […]

4th of July – mid-week holiday!
Though it was the first year we didn’t have a pool party at my parents’ house, this year’s 4th of July was a total blast. We didn’t do the pool this time around mostly because it was a Wednesday so it felt kind of weird to plan on drinking and playing beer pole all day […]

food, recipes and more food!
Our house has turned into our very own pasteleria (bakery)! Cora baked 13 loaves of her Christmas bread (pan de pascua) and it smells heavenly, I threw together some no-bake chocolate oatmeal cookies (thanks to Diane’s recipe) and Meri made a huge pot of cola de mono (monkey tail), a Chilean holiday drink that tastes […]

Not only is our anniversary in December but my parents and Javier’s parents celebrate their anniversaries in this wonderful month as well. My parents’ 34th was this past Friday, Dec. 16. Below is a photo of their celebratory beer at Dalt’s grill – still such a cute couple! 🙂 No es solo nuestro aniversario en […]
