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!

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 ...

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 ...
