A Few New Things...

First off, I have 15 followers!  I am so grateful to have more followers.  I can't even tell you how great it makes me feel to know that people want to read my blog.  Through all of the linking up I have been doing, I have 15 followers and I have found a TON of new blogs to read.  I am really enjoying reading them all every day!!

In case you don't believe me..........................

I know 15 doesn't seem like a lot but it's a lot to me.  It means the world to me to have people interested in my life. 

The second change is that I added a new page.  It's my Summer Bucket List.  I posted this list a little while ago but I know that I will forget about it so I added it as a page.  Now I can actually cross things off as I do them. 


I have already crossed one thing off the list and I hope to cross them all off by the end of the Summer!  I guess the end of the Summer would be September 21st so I have until then.  And if I don't get them all crossed off my list?  Well then I'll add them to my Fall bucket list.  I see a re-occuring theme here!

I hope you are all enjoying reading my blog as much as I am enjoying writing it!

      Thanks! I think everyone should have come kind of bucket list. I might give my blog a facelift once I've hit a certain number of followers. I feel very lucky to have 15!

      I can't wait to add more kid-friendly things to the list but how much can a 7 month old really do? Looking forward to better lists in the future.

    New followers are always so exciting! I get thrilled every single time I see my number go up by one. (Of course, I also get super sad every time I lose one.) It's so fun to know there are people out there staying in touch with your life!

    I had 15 followers for a whole year and I thought that was like the best thing ever. I had never done a link up before until probably May/June this year and that's when I really started getting some followers!

      Yes! I only had 2 or 3 since I started my blog and then when I started linking up (only a few months ago as well) I started getting more! It's very exciting! And I'm so glad to have found a 'Daddy blogger' to provide some perspective on things!

    We like to read stuff we like, haha! Lol. I am a mommy/lifestyle blogger. I blog over at "Raising Four While Keeping Sane." I hope that you will come by & say hello some time in the future. Your little girl is so cute. I had my last on Jan 26 this year. We've got an 11 year old girl, twin 8 year old boys, & the surprise! Lol. Looking forward to reading more on your blog.

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 ...
