My days have been a blur since I’ve been off work on maternity leave. Life with a newborn has been pretty crazy and I feel like my days and nights intertwine. I really cant believe we’re already a few days into November!

One of the things that has been keeping me sane and helping me stay awake is coffee. Historically, I’ve never been a coffee drinker, but my mom loves McDonald’s coffee. She’s been staying with me to help take care of Skyy, and getting breakfast and coffee from McDonald’s is part of our weekly routine. When I was pregnant, I constantly craved plain McDonald’s cheeseburgers and fries so it’s ironic that I visit on a weekly basis now that Skyy’s here.

I know that quite a few of my followers and blog readers are active military or veterans so don’t forget to stop by any McDonald’s of North Texas location on November 11 for a free extra value meal of your choice between 5:30am and 8:30pm. The offer is valid for one free breakfast, lunch, or dinner extra value meal. You must show valid military id, and the offer is available in-restaurant only (no purchase necessary).

Are you a fan of McDonald’s? If so, drop a line with your favorite menu item!
