It's http://www.mycharmingkids.net/.
I do not necessarily dislike MckMama. There are things, like J said, that I liked about her. And, there are things I still like about her. (Admittedly, the thing I like least about her is that I am so interested.)
I wrote a whole list of things I like and dislike about her. But, that seemed uncharitable (and pathetic). So, read yourself. And, please, let me know what you think. She is interesting.

ah. yes, i have read her blog. i actually found it through another one: Bring The Rain: (audreycaroline.blogspot.com). i honestly haven't been able to "get into" her blog just because i think the nicknames are a little silly. i don't know. i mean, they're fine, i just can't get into reading about someone's life if they're calling their children after McDonald's food items. i guess it could be considered cute, but i'm not one of those people who would consider it. sorry if that's b*tchy. :)
oh, and i forgot to add that she calls her husband Prince Charming. ugh.
OK, good, so she IS a doofus, right? And, I am familiar with BringtheRain. I am the ultimate blog stalker.
That's just weird. Everything about that makes me uncomfortable. If 200+ people were giving me their input on my children - no, wait. If 200+ were looking at my children's daily routines, I'd be beyond creeped out.
It also makes me worry, because there must be some sort of void she needs to have filled if she's seeking out the adulation of multiple hundreds of strangers and using her children as a vehicle for that attention. I mean, she's clearly not octomom, but still...
Hi Ladies,
New here. Had to chime in, though.
I have been reading and following Jennifer McKinney's (MckMama) blog for quite some time, and I can not tell you how much I've prayed for her and her family - especially Stellan. I always found her words "interesting," however. As a Christian, I always love to read the accounts of parents raising their little ones up to love the Lord, but I just never, ever saw that. Don't get me wrong, it's her right because it's her blog. But when you profess Christ and say over and over and over that you're "giving God the glory," you'd think there might be a little flicker of how she raises her children in a Christian household. On the contrary, it's all about tree-hugging -- sorry, I digress. We also eat organic as much as we can, but I wear a bra, shower, and eat real meals with protein daily! She seems so ... I can't quite place my finger on it. Different.
I also have really noticed lately that she always seems to be fishing for compliments. All the time. And she only leaves her comments open to those who will give her adoration and prop her ego up a bit more. I don't understand how she can "raise" her kids when she's twittering non-stop and blogging constantly. She dropped so many hints about her "needs" (ie., going home outfit, new phone, food, accomodations, etc.) during Stellan's hospitalization, and I thought ... something just is not right with this person. She has names for her "followers," and really is a tad narcissistic in my opinion. I feel terrible mentioning all of this, as I've kept it to myself for so long, but apparently, I'm on to something. Someone recently found out that she lives on 1.5 acres of land that backs up to a lake, has a nearly $500K home w/ 4-car garage, a nanny, etc., and I just don't know how, in good conscience, you can accept donations from loving, generous people when they themselves are going thru a much more difficult time financially then yourself. Don't get me wrong, my husband and I have a beautiful home, are very comfortable ... but we could never allow someone to foot the bills for so many things. We would sell something before that would happen.
Her children -- Kieran (Big Mac), Cullen (McNugget), Maise (Small Fry) and Stellan -- don't have a say in having their entire lives posted for the whole world to see every day, and while she has made up juvenile names for them so as to "protect" them, she also links to stories by newstations who use their real names. In this day and age, having a full name for everyone in the house, an address, etc. can be very dangerous. What's so telling, is that she doesn't seem to care. She just keeps on saying she's giving all the glory to God! That's wonderful if you're truly doing it, but saying it doesn't make it so! And contrary to what she believes, God does want us to fellowship with other Christians in His house - church.
It's all very telling how few (none, actually) prayer buttons or prayer requests Jennifer places on her blog. She expects others to pray without ceasing for her children, but neglects to offer the same to others who are hurting. That always leaves me speechless!
So sorry for such a lengthy post. I'm just shocked by all of it. What's even more shocking, is her "friendship" w/ Angie Smith. She is one of the most humble, kind, soft-spoken, God-honoring women I've ever had the pleasure of "meeting."
Oh well. Just my two cents. If anything, I guess we all have some free entertainment now and then, huh?!
Nice to meet ya' all.
Elle
