Holiday Linkup!

What's your favorite holiday movie?  Hands down....Elf.  I thought the movie was dumb the first time I saw it but that's usually how I feel about all Will Ferrell movies. 
 
 
Do you have any special traditions?  Aside from putting all of the decorations up right before or after Thanksgiving, not really. 
 
What's your favorite ornament or decoration?  My favorite ornament is the baby shoe that has my daughter's birth information engraved on it.  My favorite decoration is the giant gingerbread train I got a few years ago.  It lights up and is glittery and adorable!
 
 
Best gift you've ever received?  My daughter came 2 weeks before Christmas last year so she has been the best gift I have ever received.  Aside from her, my adorable little pugger Katie and my iPod rank in the top. 
 
Favorite winter accessory? Scarves.  I have a ton of different scarves and I love to wear them!
 
Real or fake tree?  We have a fake tree but we might consider a real one next year.  That might be a new family tradition.
 
When and how did you find out that Santa was not real?  I found out when I was 5.  I was digging through a box of wrapped gifts my parents had in their bedroom and found a gift that was to me from Santa.  Even at 5 I knew what the hell that meant and I was pissed!  But I didn't tell my parents I knew for quite some time because I thought I'd get in trouble for going through the gifts!

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
