Summer Bucket List

I'm not sure I should even dare to attempt a Summer bucket list but I keep seeing everyone else post one and now I want one.  It's really hard to do anything worthwhile when you have a full time job, a husband with an exploding business, lots of animals and a 6 month old at home.  But, I'm going to write this bucket list and I am going to do my best to actually get a few things crossed off of it this summer!

  • Go for more walks - We live 5 minutes away from a beautiful museum and park and it's so nice to take walks there.  Plus, post baby belly that should be gone by now could really use the exercise.
  • Spend more time with friends - I'm thinking Ashlyn and Maya will be spending a lot of time outside in the baby pool this summer.
  • Cook at home more - We are always on the go which is BAD for our diet.
  • Eat out on our deck more - Which will be challenging since we just gave my parents our bistro set.
  • Spend more time with the animals - Our poor puppies have SO not gotten the attention they need since Baby Girl has come along.  This hit me hard when our cat died on Father's Day.  Wish I would have pet her a little more, played with her a little more.
  • Organize all of my recipes - Especially now that I am addicted to Pinterest and try at least one new recipe each week.
  • Have a party - And actually have people attend.  We used to have parties all of the time!  We still have our beer pong table and our shot glass dart game!
  • Get pregnant - I'm adding this to my list in case my husband changes his mind about waiting until December (ish) to start trying again.  Ya never know!
  • Clean and organize the garage - I don't really touch the garage so this one is for my husband. 
  • Read more - I have been in the habit of starting books but not finishing them.  I also keep saying I want to read the book before I see the movie so how about I get that done.
  • Visit the Zoo or Aquarium - I have never been to either (that I can remember) and I think Baby Girl would love it!
  • Cut my hair - I want to donate it to Locks of Love.  It's really long so I think I could donate a lot.  Plus, I could use something fresh in my life right now.
  • Organize my Husband's office - The place is a mess!  It needs to be thoroughly cleaned.
  • Watch the Summer Olympics - Well, watch whatever sports actually interest me.  GO USA!
  • Go away for the weekend - With or without Baby Girl.  I have to cut the strings at some point so I'm going to try to make this a without Baby Girl weekend.
  • Relax - No explanation need. :)
  • Get another tattoo - This one is going to be tough since my husband hates tattoos. Not sure I will ever get this one checked off my list!
It's for a good cause!

Do you have a Summer Bucket List?

Blog Commenting Challenge!

Linking up with Jenna's Journey  for the 3rd Annual Blog Commenting Challenge! Hi! I'm Vanessa! I live with my husband Bryan and my amazing 6 month old Ashlyn in Pennsylvania. I was born and raised here and love it very much! We have 2 pugs, Katie and Utley, one black lab, Camo and one cat, Joey. Our second cat, Kitty, is sadly recently deceased (on Father's Day). I work full time as a Marketing Analyst for a supply chain consulting firm. I don't even know what that means really! I have been here for 3 years and am thinking about a career change. SAHM is looking better and better. My husband owns his own landscaping business which has been both wonderful and horrible at the same time! My husband and I know each other for about 17 years now and we have been together for 12. We got married in September of 2010, just 2 weeks shy of our 10th anniversary! We got pregnant after only 2 months of trying and last December we were greeted by Ashlyn Marie Miller,...

17 Tips - #1 Take a Prenatal Vitamin

17 Tips for a Healthy Pregnancy - #1 Take a Prenatal Vitamin Even when you're still trying to conceive, it's smart to start taking prenatal vitamins. Your baby's neural cord, which becomes the brain and spinal cord, develops within the first month of pregnancy, so it's important you get essential nutrients, like folic acid, calcium, and iron, from the very start. Prenatal vitamins are available over the counter at most drug stores, or you can get them by prescription from your doctor. If taking them makes you feel queasy, try taking them at night or with a light snack. Chewing gum or sucking on hard candy afterward can help, too. It took me a little while to get into the habit of taking my prenatal vitamin. I wasn't used to taking anything daily since I had been off the pill for a few months. I finally got myself in the habit of taking it every morning. I just take an over the counter vitamin. It has the same nutrients as a doctor prescribed vitamin but is less hass...

HFMD

Hand, foot, and mouth disease is a common viral illness that usually affects infants and children younger than 5 years old. However, it can sometimes occur in adults. Symptoms of hand, foot, and mouth disease include fever, blister-like sores in the mouth (herpangina), and a skin rash. ( http://www.cdc.gov/hand-foot-mouth/about/index.html) Are you kidding me? Blister-like sores in the mouth? Why do things like this even exist? What purpose does an illness like this that just torments little babies (and their parents) serve?  This stupid illness is currently 'running it's course' through my poor son. One week before his first birthday. Apparently it's 'going around' as the doctor so nicely explained.  Fortunately we only had one really bad day where he was not eating or drinking much and was just miserable. He was back to his usually happy self in no time even with blisters in his mouth. So this week, while my husband is away for work in Chicago and ...
