My Typical Tuesday

Well hellooo ladies and gentlemen! But mostly ladies... :) Isn't Rachel the best?!

I'm Mallory! I've got a really cute little 8 month old named Elizabeth Grace. We're two peas in a pod, her and I. Like....UNICORNS AND GLITTER!!! No? Alright. Let's cut to the chase, shall we?

4:45AM: I am awakened by the sweet serenade of "Marimba" and the mad dash begins! One hour until I have to be at work.

4:50AM: Since I work, I have to pump for Elizabeth. It will be the first of six times today.

Hey, we're all friends here, right?

Meanwhile, I whip up a quick breakfast...

5:27AM: Leave for work.

Good night morning, moon!

5:29AM: I pass by the Jordan River Temple every day. It's always lit this time of the morning. I'm lucky to live so close.

Learn about temples here

5:33AM: Makeup in the car. I've become a pro at this.

Don't worry, I was stopped at a red light while taking this picture.

5:38AM: Hit the freeway. Sing backup for John Mayer.

(I sometimes like to think I'm pro at this.

5:52AM: Pull into work a few minutes late.

6:00A-Noon: Work. Specifically, collections.

(Enter scary "Psycho" murder scene music.)

For obvious reasons, Discover won't let us take any pictures inside. So I made a little picture for you....

It would NOT be a "typical" Tuesday if I didn't hear about turnips a few times.

12:04PM: Time to go home! I'm so excited!!!

12:21PM: But first, gotta pick up a couple things for lunch.

12:52PM: I walk in the door, and am greeted with a lovely smile!

Sorry 'bout the blurry. I had to get the real smile before she got distracted.

1:25PM: Lunch time

1:45PM: Elizabeth and I make our way upstairs. 

It's my favorite time of day: NAP TIME!

2:01PM: Elizabeth's meltdown begins....

2:06PM: Out cold.

This is when I get my best cuddle time :)

ZzzZzZZZZzzzZzzZzZ....

4:15PM: While Elizabeth soaks up the afternoon sun...

...I practice being an "Extreme Couponer". (I'm a wannabe)

5:25PM: A quick snack

6:03PM: Today my sister and her boyfriend wanted their pictures done. 

So, we head over to Wheeler Farm for a little photo shoot.

Manhandle stroller....wander the premises....check out scary cows.....get attacked by swans....

7:47PM: Back home, it's dinner time! Fish for me, sunglasses for Elizabeth...

8:25PM: Time to get Elizabeth ready for bed.

**Bath**Brown Bear**Bottle **

Same book.

Every night. 

I've got it memorized.

9:42PM: Semi-emergency WalMart run. 

I'm fortunate to live with my parents right now; Grandma watches over the little one.

10:28PM: Getting ready for bed

Facebook. 

You know, the essentials.

Exchange a few texts with a ....frieenndd :)

Insanely soothing airplane white noise: check.

Sleep mask: check.

(Hey man, I'm gonna be up in 2 hours to feed the baby, I need all the help I can get!)

11:24pm: Phew! Another day, done! Goodnight, loves!

Love you, Rach! Thanks for having me!
