Strike that, make it two
By: Mallory on: Mar 12,2012 In: Family, Isla's Development, Mommyhood, My beautiful boy, My lovely Isla, My lovely Scarlett, Scarlett's DevelopmentSo while I was busy writing a post about Scarlett getting her first tooth, she was apparently busy cutting another tooth. Because later that night, when I went to feed her, I saw that her other bottom tooth had cut through.
So literally, overnight, the child went from no teeth to two. And really, she wasn’t [...]
Maybe they’ll be friends
By: Mallory on: Feb 28,2012 In: Desmond's development, Family, Isla's Development, Mommyhood, My beautiful boy, My lovely Isla, My lovely Scarlett, Scarlett's DevelopmentIn the last month or so, it seems like Des has realized that the girls can actually interact with him. They laugh at him, play with his toys (s0mething he’s not too fond of), and like to watch him.
And while they’ve been doing this for a couple months, I think he just realized that they’re [...]
I will tell this story at his wedding
By: Mallory on: Feb 26,2012 In: Desmond's development, Family, Mommyhood, My amazing husband, My beautiful boyThe other night, Ricky was working and I was alone with the kids. We had a great day – playing with Play-Doh, doing bubbles outside, and just having fun in general. We went to the local school and played on the playgrounds. For the first time, in a long time, life felt normal again. Des [...]

Can’t catch a break
By: Mallory on: Feb 23,2012 In: Body, Family, Mommyhood, My amazing husband, My beautiful boy, My lovely Isla, My lovely ScarlettThe kids and I all have bronchitis.
It’s seriously like we can’t catch a break on the sick train over here. And of course, we all don’t get it at the same time, so the kids and I are house bound for weeks because someone’s sick and we don’t want to risk infecting anyone else. And [...]
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 [...]

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.
