Summer Bucket List

I'm not sure I should even dare to attempt a Summer bucket list but I keep seeing everyone else post one and now I want one.  It's really hard to do anything worthwhile when you have a full time job, a husband with an exploding business, lots of animals and a 6 month old at home.  But, I'm going to write this bucket list and I am going to do my best to actually get a few things crossed off of it this summer!

  • Go for more walks - We live 5 minutes away from a beautiful museum and park and it's so nice to take walks there.  Plus, post baby belly that should be gone by now could really use the exercise.
  • Spend more time with friends - I'm thinking Ashlyn and Maya will be spending a lot of time outside in the baby pool this summer.
  • Cook at home more - We are always on the go which is BAD for our diet.
  • Eat out on our deck more - Which will be challenging since we just gave my parents our bistro set.
  • Spend more time with the animals - Our poor puppies have SO not gotten the attention they need since Baby Girl has come along.  This hit me hard when our cat died on Father's Day.  Wish I would have pet her a little more, played with her a little more.
  • Organize all of my recipes - Especially now that I am addicted to Pinterest and try at least one new recipe each week.
  • Have a party - And actually have people attend.  We used to have parties all of the time!  We still have our beer pong table and our shot glass dart game!
  • Get pregnant - I'm adding this to my list in case my husband changes his mind about waiting until December (ish) to start trying again.  Ya never know!
  • Clean and organize the garage - I don't really touch the garage so this one is for my husband. 
  • Read more - I have been in the habit of starting books but not finishing them.  I also keep saying I want to read the book before I see the movie so how about I get that done.
  • Visit the Zoo or Aquarium - I have never been to either (that I can remember) and I think Baby Girl would love it!
  • Cut my hair - I want to donate it to Locks of Love.  It's really long so I think I could donate a lot.  Plus, I could use something fresh in my life right now.
  • Organize my Husband's office - The place is a mess!  It needs to be thoroughly cleaned.
  • Watch the Summer Olympics - Well, watch whatever sports actually interest me.  GO USA!
  • Go away for the weekend - With or without Baby Girl.  I have to cut the strings at some point so I'm going to try to make this a without Baby Girl weekend.
  • Relax - No explanation need. :)
  • Get another tattoo - This one is going to be tough since my husband hates tattoos. Not sure I will ever get this one checked off my list!
It's for a good cause!

Do you have a Summer Bucket List?

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
