What's in a Name?

Deciding on a name for this blog was one tough task.  I wanted something fun but also meaningful.  I went back and forth trying to come up with the perfect name.  Like I mentioned, the whole reason for wanting to even start this was to document my new life as a mom and all the fun, silly, hard, amazing and crazy things that I am facing in this new adventure.     

This got me thinking about my mom.  I know lots of people may say this... but I have the absolute BEST mom anyone could ask for!!!!!  My mom and I are super close.  Matt always jokes with me about how many times I talk to my mom each day (its SEVERAL and I Love it!).  I love the relationship I have with my mom... she is truly my best friend :) 

I have always felt like I could tell my mom anything, and I do.  Even when I was younger... I always knew I could go to her with anything.  My mom has always been the ultimate mom.  She NEVER missed anything with me or my brother/sister growing up.  Mom drove to EVERY ball game we had, brought me lunch most every day, never missed a performance... she was always there!  Mom has said several times that she was "born to be a mother" and I believe its true!  I am so lucky to have such an awesome role model to look up to now that I am entering the world of motherhood. 

Which leads me back to the name of this blog.  When I was in high school, all my friends loved mom too.  She was the "cool" mom.  One thing she didn't want was to be called Mrs. Stout... she hated it!  I think this is how she got the nick-name of Momma Stout.  EVERYONE called her that... several of my high school friends still do :)  SO I thought what better name could I come up with than Momma Mallory.  Its perfect. 

I only hope that I can be 1/2 of the mom to Jackson (and future sibling(s)) that my mom has been to me, Wade and Angela!!   

Love you, mom!
