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 [...]
Freedom is about to arrive
By: Mallory on: Aug 3,2011 In: Emotions, Family, Mommyhood, My beautiful boy, My lovely Isla, My lovely ScarlettSo we found a triple stroller that will work for our family. It’s actually a double stroller that can be converted into a triple (or quadruple if needed).
It’s by a company called Valco Baby and it’s their Tri Mode Twin Ex. It’s a jogger stroller, something I love because I hate stroller with little wheels [...]
The best
By: Mallory on: Aug 1,2011 In: Activities, Body, Desmond's development, Family, Mommyhood, My amazing husband, My beautiful boy, My lovely Isla, My lovely Scarlett, RandomToday, Ricky took Desmond to the circus. I was really sad that I wasn’t able to go, but we just didn’t think it would be possible for all of us to go, especially with the girls. So I resigned myself to just having to stay home and maybe get some housework done.
So the boys went [...]

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.
