7 Things about me

1.  I am a compulsive list maker.  I make lists for everything.  Need to clean the house?  I make a list for what needs to be done in every room.  Need to pack for a vacation?  I make a list for all of us, including the dogs, so I don't forget anything.  I also love the satisfaction of crossing things off the lists.  And if I don't cross something off, I will make another list of the things I didn't cross off.  I know...it's borderline psychotic. 

2.  I love to entertain.  I love to plan, to decorate, to invite, to host.  I love it all.  I should be a party planner but don't really know how to get into it professionally.

3.  My favorite band of all time is Queen.  I'm old school.  And I am so ridiculously excited for the Freddie Mercury movie they are making.

4.  I secretly love it when my daughter snobs people off.  In that moment, it means that she is in no mood to be bothered by anyone but me.  I love it.

5.  I also hate it when my daughter willingly goes to just about any female she comes into contact with but refuses to go to any man other than her Daddy.  *stings*

6.  If I'm driving somewhere new, I can usually remember how to get there the next time.  If I'm in the passenger seat, your guess is as good as mine.  I guess when I'm driving I pay better attention to road signs and such so I remember the directions.

7.  I am a photo fanatic.  I have around 1500 photos on my phone.  I have a hard time deleting any photos, even if they are terrible.  It's an obsession.

Jennifer at Part of That World

      I know it's hard but I love to learn so many new things about people. I had to go back to mine for a few days before I finally finished it!

    So exciting- I've never won anything before. Makes me feel like a real blogger- you know aside from the fact that not too many people read my blog. But it's nice to have things documented to look back on. BTW- I am total list maker. I will actually add things to the top of the list that I already did but were part of the process so I can mark it off. Makes me feel more productive.

    Thanks so much for nominating me! =) I feel so special. =)
    I'm a photo fanatic, too. I've been forcing myself to delete photos lately, just because I know I've almost reached the max point on my phone. It's so hard to let 'em go though!
    I WISH I loved to entertain. My life would be so much easier if I did!
    I only make lists every once in a while, but they really are great when it comes to helping you get things done. There's something about crossing things off of a list that makes you feel so accomplished. =)
    Have a great weekend, friend!

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
