There is a saying that some of the best things in life are free. Today was proof of that for our family. We took about an hour and half to log in to free WiFi at a little restaurant in Dominical. (We did buy some food and coffee… we’re not total mooches) The girls were […]
Facing My Fears… Literally One Step at A Time
The one main thing Ava wanted to do on this trip was to go ziplining. That was an easy enough request. I have been twice before and it was always a fun adventure. A few weeks ago I made the reservations online for a Saturday morning at 8am. Figuring that would be before the afternoon […]
My New Love for Airbnb
Anyone who knows the McNally’s knows that we love to travel, and we love to travel to Costa Rica…and we love to travel to Costa Rica as cheap as we can! Airbnb and Spirit airlines has made that even more possible for us for our upcoming trip later this month. Our last two trips there were […]
Keep Moving Ahead
In addition to my regular photography work, I have a few partnerships and collaborations with other companies in the works. I will eventually do a separate blog post on each of them. I hope this blog post will be an encouragement to you. If you are in the midst of starting over, or just contemplating […]
Changing Directions
Five years ago, Sean and I found ourselves in a place we didn’t want to be. We made a decision (together) to make a wholesale change in the direction of our lives. We counted the costs and decided what was immovable and unchangeable. For us, keeping our marriage strong and intact and raising our family […]

Purge and Simplify
Visiting Costa Rica always changes my perspective on many day to day things when I return to the States and our life here. A while ago I wrote a blog post titled “Walking Around the World in Flip Flops” in that post I referred back to one of our first visits to Costa Rica about […]
March Fourth…um, I mean March Forth!
Today is March Fourth. The only day of the year that is a command…to March Forth. For many people this is just another day…but not for the McNally clan. This is a holiday to be celebrated with exuberance! Years and years ago, this family celebration holiday was created by my mother-in-law (though we say mother-in-love) […]

February 1st. A Day of Second Chances.
Yesterday was February 1st, for me that was like my January 1st in terms of a New Year’s fitness resolution. I really did intend to be more active and planned to log in several miles on bikes, kayaks and long walks when we were in Key West. The weather did not cooperate with my good […]
