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
Ally at My Life With the Skylar Girls

      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

Serious Daycare Advice Needed!!!

Ok now I am looking for some serious advice.  If you've read some of my earlier posts, you will know that I'm not a big fan of daycare.  I really hate leaving my Baby Girl with people I don't really know all day long.  Now we know the woman who takes care of Baby Girl for the most part which really helps and was the deciding factor in her going to that particular daycare. The problem I am now having is that there have been 3 or 4 times when I have picked Baby Girl up from daycare and she has had a bad fever.  I'm not talking a little 99 degree fever.  I'm talking you could fry an egg on the palm of her hand 102 degree fever.  It happened again last night.  When I got there, the afternoon lady was holding her and as soon as I took her, I could feel the heat radiating off of her.  When I got her home, her temperature was 102.9.  This is not they kind of temperature you play around with.  Since Baby Girl has been prone to fevers for some reason, I stripped her do
