Around Here

 
 
Loving the Fall.  The cooler air, the changing leaves, the colorful decorations.  Pumpkin pie, sunflowers, cornstalks.  It's my favorite season.
 
Looking forward to the pumpkin funnel cake I will be eating this weekend at one of the many Fall festivals we are going to be attending this year.  I think we have one planned for every weekend in October!
 
Watching The Voice.  I am in love with the show and I have about four favorites now.  I would choose team Adam or team Blake.  I can't wait for Smash to start again too.
 
Counting calories for three weeks now.  I don't ever talk about my weight but I'm feeling good about this.  I've lost 7 lbs so far and I am hoping to continue the trend.  It helps that a friend and I are doing it together and for every 5 lbs we lose, we buy each other a fun gift.
 
Hoping we can get our house situation dealt with before we have another baby.  We have outgrown our home and we need to move.  We did have a 13 acre property in our horizon but that might not work out the way we want it to.
 
Awaiting Christmas!  I know everyone gets mad because the stores put the Christmas items out earlier and earlier each year but I love it!  Christmas is my favorite holiday.  I love the decorations and have already bought a few new items for this year.  I love buying/wrapping/giving gifts.  Trying to find the perfect gift is my ultimate Christmas goal each year.
 
Wanting another adorable little baby.  With the first birthday of our daughter quickly approaching, the baby fever is worse than ever!
 
Struggling with what to do for the first birthday.  We don't have the space in our home to have a party but there are a few friends and family members we would like to have present.  The space we were going to rent fell through so now we are back at square one.  Hoping we can find some space to rent soon.  It's only two months away!
 
Going pink for Breast Cancer Awareness month!

      My daily calorie limit is 1167. It's rough but I just make sure I eat the same kinds of foods all of the time and I almost never go over my limit. Loseit.com has worked well for me in the past.

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
