Mama McG's World

Very exciting things (for a 3 and 4 year old) are happening at the end of our driveway.

This morning was the last day of preschool for Princess M. These last 2 years have been great. I feel lucky to have found this school, it is a great little community we have and I’m looking forward to the next 2 years with the little boy there. 
I am the VP of the board next year and the President the following year, hope I don’t mess up.

MamaMcG fun fact: 
This is supermodel Liya Kebede. Back in high school when I was a model for Elite Chicago we modeled together. We shared cabs, grabbed lunch together, went to go sees together. 
When I see her in publications, like this J Crew catalogue, I wonder what I’d be doing now had I stayed in Chicago for college instead of going away for school. 
(Though I do know I wouldn’t have met Matt or had these wonderful kids.)

The last surviving bloom of my Mother’s Day bouquet. (Plus the Christmas cactus that I’ve kept alive for 3 1/2 years)

I had such a great meetup with Ashley! We could have talked all night. Next time you’re trying a martini. Tumblr meetups are the best!

A huge storm just hit. My husband decided to turn on the police scanner app on the iPad. First call we hear is for a Xanax overdose. Someone must be extremely scared of thunder.

Replanting the beans, peas, and sunflowers that Princess M brought home from school. I am also planting a few more for the little boy to help with.

Enjoying a snack on the porch and this beautiful weather before the storms roll in.
