Hi Everyone! For those who don't know me, my name is Mallory! I married my best friend Matthew 5 years ago. We have three children, Sophia (4), Henry (2) and Chloe (5 months)!
I started this blog when we were building our home in 2021. During that time our son underwent his first brain surgery. He was born with an encephalocele. It has been a rollercoaster to say the least. I have been a stay at home mom since we had Sophia back in 2017. It was by far the most challenging and rewarding job I have ever had.
I found it so important to get involved in local activities and connect with other families. I was also finding myself looking everywhere for things to do with her. I created the event calendar in hopes to help other parents and create a space for local families.
This blog has been my creative outlet as I navigate my way through the ups and downs of motherhood. I can't wait to share more of our journey through life with you all!
