Pinterest!! & Randoms! :)

Before I share my fave Pinterest picks of the week, I have several things from the weekend to share :)

First... look what came in the mail finallllllly! :) So excited!


My Marley Lily Monogrammed Clutch! I love it, it is really cute and will be so perfect for football games, shopping, trips, etc. Cross body clutch, but large enough for the "must haves": phone, lipgloss, wallet, gum and hand sanitizer! Probably a little more too. Ella wanted one too and hers turned out super cute, but I will wait to post a pic until she can see it (she hasn't yet!) ha.

Next up... Frankie was the object of "Show & Tell" for the elementary school on Friday :)
It was adorable...


He sat there like such a good boy! All the kids were dying..
One little boy said, "Is it a boy or girl?"
Ella: "He's a boy, his name is Frankie"
Boy: "Then why does he have a diamond necklace on?"
Ella: "Oh it's his collar, and it's blue, and Dana likes for him to wear these, he has like 5 of them"
Bahahahaha
Chris and I were dying. Yes he is a boy and yes he does wear BB Simon Collars... they are unisex ha. And he looks handsome in them!!

I found something new I am lusting over majorly... at Dillards... this new black Michael Kors watch...


It has more of a rubbery band so its kind of casual ... it's so cute!!! Looked really cute on too :)

Ok this is major... remember when I showed these earrings last week from Pinterest?
Well my mom read that bloggy post and then sent me a text saying I had those earrings when I was a baby that she got for me, with a matching necklace and little gold baby bracelet :)
(Some things never change, I liked to wear the monogrammed bling as an infant too haha)
So she brought them over... they are so teeny tiny but look how cute...


So cute, I am so glad she saved them!
Either monogrammed jewelry never goes out of style, or I've now been alive long enough to see it come back! lol

Ok now I have a hair pic... I can not STAND for my hair to be in my face, if I don't have a bobby pin around at all times I freak out. BUT, I thought for one day I would try to just down, not pinned back, and I thought it looked pretty good .. however, it only lasted until noon at lunch when the bobby pin had to go in!


Maybe I need a stronger hair spray?!? If it would just stay out of my face I could handle it!!

I have an awesome new app to share, but I can't take credit for it... my friend Kelly sent me a text with this cute pic the other day...


Ummm is that the cutest thing you have ever seen?
I was dying!!
The app is called Red Stamp ... and the best part is it is FREE! You can take a pic from your phone and create cards, invitations, announcements, calendars, it's basically pretty amazing and if you don't already have it you need to go download it! I can't wait to play around with it! So fun!! Thanks Kel!!

Now for a little Pinterest...


How great of an idea is that? A painting of your baby puppy? I want one of these of Frankie :)



You know my kitchen obsession...well this one has TWO islands! So fabulous!


These boots are so great! Love them with some skinny jeans!


I have been looking for some new tennis shoes and I found these and ordered them yesterday. Chris has these for guys in two different colors and he says they are so comfortable! I can't wait to get them!


This is by far the CUTEST pregnancy photo pic I have ever seen... it is so adorable! <3


Another reason I love Mason Dash Disnik ... I mean so cute! I don't know what's cuter the sunglasses or the Burberry sweater lol ? dying.


HOW FUN WOULD THAT BE if you were still a kid??
I am going to do this for Jake this weekend... I can see it now, he will have Batman & everybody out there crawling through the maze lol.



I literally do this every.single.time I write that word! lol


Love that. So true.


Hahahahah this is great! I love it!!

That's all for today! I am beat and still have to put a cute new house I listed today on the MLS :)
Will post pics this week for the Lexington people who may know somebody looking ;)

Don't forget to take a look at my Blog Sale from the weekend, I still have some great things left!

BLOG SALE!!

Hi there!

Ok friends... this has taken some serious time!

I thought cleaning out my closet and getting rid of some things would be an easy task... WRONG! I found myself not wanting to get rid of a single thing! haha. I didn't think I liked stuff anymore until I began pulling it out! BUT ... I am reallllly bad about buying something, wearing it once or twice and then never wearing it again! Even though I love it and it's cute, I just don't wear it...bad habit.
Other things, (like my fave black leggings and jeans I will literally wear for a week straight ha!)

I feel like I have to disclose that I am horrible photographer when it comes to clothes!! These pics don't do justice :( This stuff is much cuter in real life!

I am setting up paypal right now... so if you see something you want, then just email me with the words BLOG SALE in the subject if you wouldn't mind... and let me know what you would like :) Then I can send you an invoice from PayPal!

Shipping will more than likely be between $4-$7 depending on if you buy more than one thing :) I will combine shipping on multiple items.

Back in Business!

Let's be honest here... 10 days and no blogging has seriously made me a tad depressed! But I have been so slammed with work,
(real estate and busy in January are usually 3 words that do NOT go together but I've had 3 closings so far and the month is only half over, and just got another under contract this week! woohoo! maybe the market is turning around in 2012?!? I am keeping my fingers crossed at least!)
and also lots of busy-ness in my personal life this past week, not to mention I have been working on my closet in hopes of having a Blog Sale by the end of the week!!!!! :)
(by writing that down for you all to read I am committing myself to do it lol!)

SO excited to report my phone case came in from Marley Lily and is adorable... and I was right, the brightness is making me happy during this dreary weather!



And to go along with the case... my assistant, Emily (who is obvi so talented at several things!) stumbled across my new favorite app and I just knew everyone would love it so wanted to share....

3 Initials App

Download it now! You will be obsessed! Let me share some examples...

Here is my home screen to match my new case ... (courtesy of Emily who made the first one for me!)


How cute is that? I LOVE it!

Here are some other examples I made for friends :)


You can mix up the colors, choose from different fonts & styles, it's amazing!
If you love all things monogrammed, you will love this app!
It is $1.99 but well worth it I.M.O. :)

Speaking of Emily... look what she got me for Christmas....


O.M.G. a Frankie rug... I literally died. I am obsessed with it.
It is in my kitchen now and at the back door and looks so cute!
Em, THANK YOU!! It's my fave! :)

Next on the agenda...speaking of the king himself,  my baby is home and feeling much better!
I am still not convinced he is 100%, but he got his stitches out over the weekend and seems to be healing still and almost back to himself :)

He loves to lay on top of "mountains" haha idk what his deal is, he jumps to the top of everything!)

This weekend we worked on a MAJOR undertaking...
Ella's Science Fair Project!

Her project was "What Bubble Gum Blows the Biggest Bubble?"
Girl is creative.
(it also was what I did in the 4th grade for mine and once she heard that she wouldn't do anything else ha! We got books on projects, googled ideas, everything, but this was what she chose which is hysterical to me because not only did I do it, BUT then when my little brother was in school he remembers me doing his science fair project for him and doing the same exact thing lol!) 


It turned out adorable... we took pics of each bubble she blew after 3 tries with each different gum!
She had fun doing it and the best part was today she said everyone at school said it was their favorite!
So cute and so proud of her!! :)

Last but not least, I have not Pinterest shared in weeks :( So here are just a few of my recent favorites pins ... and in case you were wondering, I am daily think of what I did with my life at red lights, when I can't sleep, when I am waiting for something or someone, etc, before there was Pinterest!?!?!
Are ya'll still obsessed too?
(If not, don't tell me, I don't want to know ha!)


I love this. Ha. I need this. So cute. From Etsy.


I need this too! How cute would this be at the basketball games?


I have obsessed over the cowhide ottoman for weeks now. It's so amazing.


I kind of have a thing for mudrooms and this is so great, I love the brick paved floor!! Wouldn't show dirt at all I bet... great idea and looks good too!

Monogrammed block earrings. Kinda can't believe I don't have these already?!?


Ahh.... a girl can dream can't she? Look at that wrapping room! I could do some serious wrapping in a room like this! ;)


Ok, lets be honest, is anyone else besides me wishing you will one day have a son that will look like Mason?? hahaha this has got to be the cutest kid ever. Look at his outfit! I mean I guess if Kourtney Kardashian is your mom, chances are you will be pretty stylish... he is so darn cute!


I am so excited for Easter now just because I saw this picture! LOL
Peeps Smores! We will totally be doing this! Yum!

Ok that's all I got... off to watch my shows!
Blog Sale to come... :)
Thanks for all the feedback and emails about it! Hopefully I will have some cute stuff for sale!
