Holiday Linkup!

What's your favorite holiday movie?  Hands down....Elf.  I thought the movie was dumb the first time I saw it but that's usually how I feel about all Will Ferrell movies. 
 
 
Do you have any special traditions?  Aside from putting all of the decorations up right before or after Thanksgiving, not really. 
 
What's your favorite ornament or decoration?  My favorite ornament is the baby shoe that has my daughter's birth information engraved on it.  My favorite decoration is the giant gingerbread train I got a few years ago.  It lights up and is glittery and adorable!
 
 
Best gift you've ever received?  My daughter came 2 weeks before Christmas last year so she has been the best gift I have ever received.  Aside from her, my adorable little pugger Katie and my iPod rank in the top. 
 
Favorite winter accessory? Scarves.  I have a ton of different scarves and I love to wear them!
 
Real or fake tree?  We have a fake tree but we might consider a real one next year.  That might be a new family tradition.
 
When and how did you find out that Santa was not real?  I found out when I was 5.  I was digging through a box of wrapped gifts my parents had in their bedroom and found a gift that was to me from Santa.  Even at 5 I knew what the hell that meant and I was pissed!  But I didn't tell my parents I knew for quite some time because I thought I'd get in trouble for going through the gifts!

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,...
