A Piece of Advice

Day 8:  A piece of advice you have for others.  Anything at all.


The one thing that both my husband and I tell everyone it's to take a lot of pictures.  I've got about 2500 photos on my phone that document my daughter's life.  This is very precious to me.  I often go back and look at the photos just to see how small she was.  Just to see what she looked like last Mother's Day as compared to this Mother's Day.  Just to see that awesome little smile whenever I want to.

We take so many photos every single day and I wouldn't trade a single one for anything in this world.  I don't even delete the bad photos.  The blurry ones, the one that just didn't turn out the way they were supposed to.

The only thing I regret is not taking more photos.  My husband and I have taken many photos over the years of the places we've been and the things we've seen.  We just haven't taken very many photos of ourselves!  That's one thing I wish I could change.  I wish we had taken more photos together.

So that's my advice.

Take lots of pictures.

And look at them often.

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 purcha...

Blog Star

Linking up with Mrs Monologues  for Blog Star I love participating in these kinds of link ups because I get to showcase my blog a bit and find some really great blogs to follow! So, I'm Vanessa.  I'm a 29 year old Momma of one amazing (almost) seven month old girl.  I can't even describe how stinking awesome this kid is and how much I love her.  It's friggin ridiculous. My husband and I have been married for two years now but we have know each other for about 17.  You can see more about all of that on my About Me  section.  My husband owns his own landscaping business and I work full time as a Marketing Analyst.  While I love living in Pennsylvania (love that we get all four seasons), I'm not loving our house anymore.  Completely outgrown!  We are looking to buy something bigger in the near future and I can't wait!  We need something with a nice yard because we have 3 dogs! Utley and Katie Lynn, ...
