Because I’m awful… But so are these. Enjoy… Moments later, baby Emily was tragically crushed by the ostrich returning to its nest.

Why Blogging Feels Dumb and Why I Do It Anyway
It was a pathetic joke that Barney blogged on How I Met Your Mother. And that was how many years ago? The “actual” Barney Stinson Blog is here, and it’s fun. But I’m still mad about how that show ended. Boo, HIMYM! From August 2008 to April 2013 I published 294 blog posts at LaFamigliaD. Today, […]
