Kind of a weird grief
By: Mallory on: Feb 15,2012 In: Emotions, Family, Mommyhood, My amazing husband, My beautiful boy, My lovely Isla, My lovely Scarlett, PregnancyAfter a lot of talking and thinking, Ricky and I have decided that we’re done having kids.
And since we’ve made that decision, I’ve kind of been grieving.
Don’t get me wrong. I know that we’re making the best decision for our family. I know that we cannot financially afford another child. We can’t afford to move [...]

If I do nothing else this year, that’s okay
By: Mallory on: Feb 1,2012 In: Emotions, Family, Mommyhood, My beautiful boy, My lovely Isla, My lovely ScarlettA few days ago, I packed up all 3 kids and headed to the park for a play date with our friends. It’s not a park we go to often, so it’s not one I’m super used to or one that Des has mastered the jungle gym.
Anyway, we got there early (shocking, I know) and [...]

The girls are 7 months!
By: Mallory on: Jan 27,2012 In: Emotions, Family, Isla's Development, Mommyhood, My lovely Isla, My lovely Scarlett, Scarlett's DevelopmentScarlett and Isla,
Happy 7 months, girls! Things around here have been crazy lately, thus why I’m writing a joint letter you to girls. I’d love to write you each an individual letter, but sometimes, life just gets too hectic. Plus, this letter is over a week late, so I just wanted to get something down [...]
Her ultrasound is clear
By: Mallory on: Jan 20,2012 In: Body, Emotions, Mommyhood, My lovely Scarlett, Scarlett's DevelopmentThe doctor’s office called this afternoon. From the moment I woke up until they called, I was on pins and needles. I took my phone with me everywhere. To the bathroom, to Des’ room when I changed his diaper, to the laundry room when I started the new load. It was never not by my [...]
Trying to not panic
By: Mallory on: Jan 19,2012 In: Body, Emotions, Mommyhood, My amazing husband, My lovely Scarlett, Scarlett's DevelopmentWe took Scarlett in last week for her follow up on her UTI. When we took her to the hospital and they diagnosed it, they put her on an IV antibiotic there and sent us home with antibiotics. She was on the home ones for 1o days. So, about a week after she finished the [...]

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.
