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 [...]
The little Sumo wrestlers
By: Mallory on: Jan 18,2012 In: Body, Isla's Development, Mommyhood, My amazing husband, My lovely Isla, My lovely Scarlett, Scarlett's DevelopmentA few weeks ago, Ricky and I had a lengthy discussion about the girls’ hair. Okay, really, I just babbled for 20 minutes about their hair and whether or not we should give them bangs while Ricky listened. And after talking his ear off, we decided that we would let the girls’ hair grow out [...]

The little rolly pollies
By: Mallory on: Jan 10,2012 In: Body, Isla's Development, Mommyhood, My amazing husband, My lovely Isla, My lovely Scarlett, Scarlett's DevelopmentAbout 3 weeks ago, Scarlett figured out how to roll from her back to her stomach. The first time she did it, she looked pretty shocked and kind of amazed that she was on her stomach. And I cheered her on and figured that she wouldn’t really do it again for a few days. But [...]
Isla is 6 months old!
By: Mallory on: Dec 21,2011 In: Family, Isla's Development, Mommyhood, My lovely IslaIsla,
I cannot believe that you’re 6 months old. Where has the time gone? How has it been 6 months already?
My girl, I think you are going to be the child who gives me gray hair. You have so much personality and have so much energy. You are always on the move and want so badly [...]

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.
