Hi and welcome! My name is Kyla, I call a small town in Central Kentucky home, I am a wife and mom of (soon to be) 2 little ones. I have a toddler, Rhett, he is almost 3 and a new baby due In August. We are a family who loves the outdoors and as a mom I do my best to find healthier, more simple ways to do things.

I love cooking and baking and making easy, healthy recipes for my family. I also love design, DIYing and planning parties and gatherings. My husband, who is an avid duck hunter, and I love spending time outdoors doing all the fun things with Rhett. We spend time on the farm, in the garden and our favorite, on the Kentucky River in my husband’s duck boat.

When throwing around the idea to start a blog, our love of the outdoors and the drive to be a more simple, faithful and connected family is what I am super passionate about and want to share with others. So- the idea of The Mallard Mama was born.

In this season of life I am preparing to have our second baby and will be tackling a lot of new things as a family of 4. I want to write about the season of life my family is in as well as my ideas, projects, recipes, and our life as an outdoor family. I’m excited and so thankful for you to follow along with me!
