Linking up with Mrs Monologues for Blog Star


Mrs. Monologues

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, our Pugs.  Katie's middle name only gets used whenever she is in trouble.  Yes, people think it's strange that my dog has a middle name but I know I'm not the only one.

Camo, our Black Lab.  We chose the second smallest puppy of the litter and got the biggest dog of the litter.  I'm not sure there are any decent photos of Camo without his Pappa.  He loves his Pappa.

We also have a cat, Joey, or Joseph if he is in trouble (on the left).  Our second cat, Kitty, died on Father's Day.  It was very sad.


My husband has his eye on a 13 acre 'farmette' as he likes to call it so we will see if that is something we can get.  I'd just like a bigger house.  Growing family needs more room!

I love being a Mom, I am a big Twilight fan (yup, I admit it), I swear a lot, I hate mornings, my favorite candy is Twix, my favorite color is pink, I love pasta, my favorite holiday is Christmas, I love rainy days, as long as I can stay home, I hate that my daughter is in daycare, I can't wait to have more kids.

I started this blog as a way to document my pregnancy but it has turned into a support group for my life!  I love blogging about my baby, my life, my struggles, my happy endings.  I love getting blog comments and new followers.  I just love blogging and hope to do it even more as the 'dream' of becoming a stay at home Momma starts to become more of a reality in the next year!  

Go ahead and link up and tell us about yourself!

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 ...
