A long couple of weeks
By: Mallory on: Sep 13,2011 In: Family, Mommyhood, My amazing husband, My beautiful boy, My lovely Isla, My lovely ScarlettThe past 3 weeks have been chaotically busy and overwhelming. First, our AC died. We had to stay at my parents’ house for close to a week before we were able to get it fixed. Then, I went home with all 3 kids, only to find out that it wasn’t fully fixed. So I headed [...]
He’s home
By: Mallory on: Aug 29,2011 In: Emotions, Family, Mommyhood, My amazing husband, My beautiful boy, My lovely Isla, My lovely ScarlettRicky’s back from Atlanta. And I couldn’t be happier.
It’s funny. He can be gone for 3-4 days, working and it’s not as hard. Don’t get me wrong – not having him home to help me with the kids is hard. But for some reason, it was a lot harder [...]

One of those days
By: Mallory on: Aug 12,2011 In: Emotions, Family, Mommyhood, My amazing husband, My beautiful boy, My lovely Isla, My lovely Scarlett, SummerThe other day, I had probably one of my worst days since I’ve had the girls. I woke up to a migraine. My parents watched Des for me for about 2 hours so I could lay down in a dark room (this was when our A/C was broken and we were staying at [...]

It’s a sauna in here
By: Mallory on: Aug 5,2011 In: Family, Mommyhood, My amazing husband, My beautiful boy, My lovely Isla, My lovely Scarlett, SummerOur A/C died the other day. We had gone to get Des a haircut and when we got home, our house was effing hot. We checked the A/C unit and saw that it wasn’t working, despite our A/C controller being on.
And to be honest, we weren’t really surprised. This happens every freaking summer. The first [...]
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.
