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,...

17 Tips - #1 Take a Prenatal Vitamin

17 Tips for a Healthy Pregnancy - #1 Take a Prenatal Vitamin Even when you're still trying to conceive, it's smart to start taking prenatal vitamins. Your baby's neural cord, which becomes the brain and spinal cord, develops within the first month of pregnancy, so it's important you get essential nutrients, like folic acid, calcium, and iron, from the very start. Prenatal vitamins are available over the counter at most drug stores, or you can get them by prescription from your doctor. If taking them makes you feel queasy, try taking them at night or with a light snack. Chewing gum or sucking on hard candy afterward can help, too. It took me a little while to get into the habit of taking my prenatal vitamin. I wasn't used to taking anything daily since I had been off the pill for a few months. I finally got myself in the habit of taking it every morning. I just take an over the counter vitamin. It has the same nutrients as a doctor prescribed vitamin but is less hass...

HFMD

Hand, foot, and mouth disease is a common viral illness that usually affects infants and children younger than 5 years old. However, it can sometimes occur in adults. Symptoms of hand, foot, and mouth disease include fever, blister-like sores in the mouth (herpangina), and a skin rash. ( http://www.cdc.gov/hand-foot-mouth/about/index.html) Are you kidding me? Blister-like sores in the mouth? Why do things like this even exist? What purpose does an illness like this that just torments little babies (and their parents) serve?  This stupid illness is currently 'running it's course' through my poor son. One week before his first birthday. Apparently it's 'going around' as the doctor so nicely explained.  Fortunately we only had one really bad day where he was not eating or drinking much and was just miserable. He was back to his usually happy self in no time even with blisters in his mouth. So this week, while my husband is away for work in Chicago and ...
