My new single, Just Another Beer, is now available to stream on all streaming platforms.

This is more than just a song to me—it’s the first one I ever wrote, nine years ago, during a time of deep reflection on my dad’s battle with alcoholism and how it affected our family. I chose to release it today, May 3rd, on the 12-year anniversary of his passing.

My dad carried a lot of trauma in his life, including witnessing his brother get hit by a car when he was the same age I am now—26. That pain, among others, never left him, and over time, it took its toll. He lost his life to suicide after a long and difficult struggle.

Although time has passed, the pain never truly goes away for us. It continues to affect all of our lives in ways both seen and unseen.

I don’t often speak publicly about my dad’s death, and I rarely perform this song live because of how personal it is—but I felt like I wanted to finally share it into the world. If you give it a listen, thank you. It means more than I can say.

If the song resonates with you, please share it. Your support means the world to me, and you never know who else might need to hear it.

We love you David Mclean

As a person in general just picking up and moving to a new state is a scary thing to even think about …trust me I’ve considered it a few times . But to do it as a MOM! Was honestly the most scariest things I’ve ever done. But ! I can say it was the best decision I could have made for us. No

Ants. Every. Single. Day. I’m losing it.
We’re young, broke, and totally overrun by ants. They’re in the pantry, the bathroom, crawling up walls — it’s nonstop. Every day, there’s a new swarm in some corner of the house and we cannot afford professional pest services right now. We’re doing what we can but nothing seems to work long-term.
