welcome

Hi, I'm Mallory!

I am a Jesus loving military spouse and mama of 3 (ages 7, 5, and 3). I have been married to my high school sweetheart for almost 13 years. I have a MA in Psychology with a specialization in Marriage and Family Therapy but I am currently a stay at home mama! 

We completed our 11th PCS (permanent change of station) this summer and moved into our 13th home in 13 years. All of our moves have been full DITY (Do-It-Yourself) moves!

Here is a quick snap shot of my moving experience: 

I have moved without kids, working full time, with 1-3 kids, VERY pregnant, newly pregnant, with a new baby (twice), with toddlers, with my husband there, with my husband gone, with 1 week notice, with a few months notice, with a UHAUL, with UPACK, with movers and without movers, as far as 2,800 miles stateside, with little to no help and with a lot support from our friends!

My goal is to help you and your family prepare and plan for your move by providing practical tips, resources and encouragement. I know DITY moves are intimidating but I hope to inform, encourage, and ease the stress for those of you who want to DITY and those who may not have a choice! I’m excited to share my tips and experiences with you.  I hope you leave here informed, encouraged and confident to tackle yours!
