First Photo Shoot

Our first photo shoot was with Carrie Nawarynski Photography.  Carrie was referred to me by my cousin's fiance.  Carrie is located closer to the Allentown area so when she suggested us having the pictures taken at a park near her home, we were happy to oblige.  Any time out and away from home is a good time, even if it is only 45 minutes away.

We we went to Lock Ridge Furnace Park and if you Google that, you can find out where it is.  The park was beautiful.  It is the location of the Lock Ridge Iron Works, which closed in 1921.  The stone structures that are still standing are amazing and are a perfect place for pictures.  Once we were done with our pictures, we decided to walk through the park.  Baby Girl wasn't crazy about it, but she managed.


If you look closely at the last picture, you will see a snake.  I almost stepped on that thing but when I saw it, I screamed like a little girl and ran!  Fortunately it was dead but Bryan had a good laugh.

The best part of the park?  The field of Blue Bells.  This is a Blue Bell...

There is literally a small field of these things in that park.  They were almost done blooming and had been pretty trampled when we did our photos but they were still beautiful.

The photo shoot starts in the field of Blue Bells and then ends at the stone structures. 


It was pretty windy so we had to work around that but Baby Girl did a great job.  She gave us about 45 minutes of happy time and then she was done!  There are so many great pictures of her and I can't wait to get them printed!  We will do another photo shoot in August when she is 8 months old.  I can't wait to see all of the changes in her then!

Cheerios Stands

So when I logged onto my computer this morning, the first article that caught my attention was this one ( Cheerios Stands ) about a new commercial Cheerios has out.  They are getting a ton of negative feedback for this commercial and I'm just not understanding why. So basically, people are upset because this is a white mother, a black father and a biracial child.  What's the big deal? I know that it isn't a common thing to see in a TV commercial but what's the big deal?  I really don't think that biracial couples are uncommone these days so I'm not really understanding why they are getting such negative feedback for this commercial.  I give a ton of props to Cheerios/General Mills for not pulling the ad.  They could do that and that would be easy and would end the negativity but they are not going to do that.  Good for you.  There is no reason why this ad should not be aired. By the way, I think the commercial is cute and funny and I proba...

29 Week Bumpdate

The heart rate today was 160 and all is well. Little Man is still kicking away all the time!  He sleeps until late morning and then he's all over the place for the rest of the day.  It's fun but it's also uncomfortable sometimes. When I weighed myself on Sunday, which is when I usually do it to update my pregnancy app, I was only up 15lbs.  As of today, though, I am up 17lbs.  I feel like I am growing at warp speed but the doctor assures me that I am measuring just fine.  I do feel like some of the shirts I wore two weeks ago shouldn't be worn anymore though!  The bump is growing! I have noticed that I have been waking up with swollen ankles every morning despite sleeping with them elevated.  I know this has a lot to do with the weight gain since I had such a problem with it last time.  Other than that, the normal heartburn and backaches come and go and I'm crazy tired but I don't really have any other issues.  I don't ever ...

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,...
