There are days when I don’t get anything done. On those days, the fact that I have gotten out of my pj’s and brushed my teeth is an accomplishment. I’m too busy on those days – usually because Des is cranky or teething and needs me to be with him constantly, or because I’m just [...]
Why I love swim time

My friend Janina’s mom was super kind and bought us a bottle of bubbles for Desmond to play with. So, yesterday, we took them out and played. At first, I think Desmond wasn’t sure what they were, but after a few minutes, he was beyond intrigued with them.

Me (beyond excited): I know! Me too! I can’t wait!
Ricky: You know I’m kidding right?
Me (deeply disappointed): Oh, yeah. Me too.

About this blog
My name is Mallory. I’m a socially awkward person and really stink at making small talk. It’s something I’m working on, but if we ever meet in person, I apologize in advance for all the uncomfortable silences. I love dirty jokes – the dirtier the better. So, when we meet and I’m being awkward, tell me a dirty joke and I’ll get more comfortable.
I’m married to Ricky. He’s a firefighter/paramedic. We’ve known each other since I was 12 and have been a couple since I was 16. He’s really silly and I love that about him. He makes me happy. I really like him.
We had a baby in 2009. His name is Desmond and we love him. He’s amazing and we basically think he’s one of the greatest kids in the world.
In 2011, we had identical twin girls, Scarlett and Isla. We also think they are amazing and they are the two other greatest kids in the world.
This blog is meant to be a chronicle of our life together.
