31 Days of Gratefulness: Day 8

Instead of working today because my company doesn't observe the Columbus Day holiday, I took a day of PTO because my daughter's daycare does. It's hard to find someone to babysit during working hours, even if it is a holiday.

Fortunately, I was able to take the day off and spend it with my Baby Girl. Boy am I glad I did. We had another perfect day, much like Saturday.

So today I am grateful for

Paid Time Off

Without it, I would not have been able to take the day off and watch my little girl as she finally started full on crawling. I wouldn't have been able to play with her and make her meals. I wouldn't have been able to lay with her as she fell asleep for her naps. I wouldn't have been able to hear her adorable giggles and crazy babbling all day long. I wouldn't have been able to hear her say the word 'puff' for the first time. Girl loves her puffs.

Three absolutely perfect days in a row. I think I'm starting to like the idea of being a stay at home mom even more.

Stay tuned for the ten month post!

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,

I'm Not Gonna Lie

Anyone who knows me know that I LOVE Christmas. I love the decorations. I love to decorate my own house and see all of the other cool decorations other people have. There is a house down the street from us that always has more lights and decorations than I have ever seen in one yard. It's a bit much but it's an attention grabber. I love the Christmas tree. I love to get the tree out each year (yes we have a fake because I can't stand the needles) and I love to decorate it. Growing up, our family would decorate the tree together with all kinds of ornaments that we had collected over the years. I like to do themes for my trees. Last year I did pink and silver in honor of the newest member of our family. I'm really hoping to instill the tradition of decorating the tree with my kids. I love finding the perfect gifts for people and I love to watch their reactions when they open those gifts. I generally wait until I have purchased ALL of my gifts, I sort them

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 crosse

We are the Millers
