Happy 29 months
By: Mallory on: Feb 16,2012 In: Body, Desmond's development, Mommyhood, My amazing husband, My beautiful boyDes,
You turned 29 months yesterday. 29. That sounds so old, but when I say he’s almost 2 and a half, I realize it’s not.
My boy, you are super sick right now. You have bronchitis. You got sick at the end of last week, and by Tuesday, were still sick and running high fevers (102-103). So [...]

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 [...]

The other day, I was driving in the car with Desmond. I grabbed a piece of gum and put it in my mouth. Des watched me and soon I heard him asking, “try it.”
I debated it for a few minutes, then figured, what the hell. So I gave him a half a piece of gum. [...]
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 [...]

Seriously, how did I get such great friends?
By: Mallory on: Jan 30,2012 In: Family, Mommyhood, My amazing husband, My beautiful boy, My lovely Isla, My lovely ScarlettAs I’ve mentioned before, my friend Sarah is a photographer. And a really good one.
She was so kind as to take some pictures of my kids during one of our play dates. And I love these pictures. I’ve talked about how the one of Scarlett is just the epitome of her for me, but all [...]
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.
