Time to play catch up!!!

I have officially turned into a horrible blogger :( 

I am ashamed to say it ... but what once was my favorite thing to do has now sadly slipped to almost the bottom of my list because I have had ZERO time to do anything lately I feel like.

BUT I am turning I new leaf and getting back in the swing of things ... woohoo! This will be a total random post because I have so much just randomness to share!

First .. I have not gotten caught up on everyone else's blogs yet BUT I did read this post today and literally laughed outloud and agreed with every single word that was written by Ms. Raven ...

This was an awesome post ... one every single blogger (whether small, medium or large ha) should read! 

Go Raven! Loved it girlfriend! 

Next on the agenda ... 

I have been a busy little bee let me tell you ... houses are selling like hotcakes here in good ol' KY, thank the Lord! With that said .. I am not sure ya'll noticed, but I decided it was time to step up my game with a new summer real estate picture ... ;)

(Shirt is Lilly Pulitzer)

I am going with a new "Sold by Dana" theme ... and have been incorporating some of my AWESOME clients in with this (I just know they love that before a closing I stalk them to take their picture, lol)

So I feel like I need to give a shout out to my two recent sets of clients who closed on their new homes ... 

Dr. Trace Bratton and his lovely wife, Sarah 

(actually from my hometown of Bristol, VA and got transferred here ... Trace's and my grandparents are best friends, small world I tell ya!)

Casey and Macy Young (with future baby girl on the way!) 

I am actually really sad I won't be showing them houses anymore :( We had fun, they were awesome to work with, and we had some funny house looking experiences I won't ever forget lol. But I do still have to sell their current home, adorable ranch in Hamburg, message me if you know anyone looking for a cute 1st home! ;) 

PS. Don't you LOVE Instagram? I can't take a normal picture now, literally try and can't like it until it's distorted to look 100 years old in Instrgram lol. 

Next ... Father's Day .... 

We had a family cookout on Saturday night for Father's Day .. it was so fun! 

Great food, family, friends and just hanging out ... but don't you know I didn't get one dang picture with my dad! :( So mad!!! 

On Father's Day the kids and I made Chris breakfast in bed ha :) 

We went to dinner that night ... and I love this pic ... so cute!! <3 

The kids did a Father's Day project for Chris where we got the frames with a 5x7 picture on one side, and then on the other side you can do just a certificate or something, which is where we did a "Top 10 Reasons I Love You" and each of the kids thought of their own reasons and got super creative, they did a great job!! To say Chris loved them is an under statement ;) He was so happy and the kids loved presenting them to him in front of everyone! Adorable!

Vacation Time ... 

We just went on our annual vacation down to Florida with the kids and Chris's parents and had so much fun! 

This is a photo dump ... so sorry ... but I haven't hardly Facebook'd a lot of these yet so ... here goes ... :) 

Ella, such the jet setter ha! Love this picture! 

 Our condos :) 

We found tons of shark teeth on the beach, that is one of everyone's favorite things to do while we are there! So fun! We fill a jar at home with them :) 


Chris did pretty good with the fishing this trip :) Such a cute little fisherman ha 

That little fisher took a nap on the boat haha ;) Wore him out bless his heart! 

Chris's Parents ... LJ & Cathi .. had so much fun with them! :) 

Love this pic of the kids :) Precious! 

Jake and I always have a million funny face pictures and he will look at them on my phone for like an hour and crack up haha! 

You know I am totally obsessed with any sort of picture cut out ... so I couldn't wait to do those!!

LOL, you can also revert to this picture ... 

Emily and I took at the Remax camping retreat lol 

Hahahaha :) 

We had such a good time on vacation ... it rained most of the week but we still found fun stuff to do and made the best of it :) On the last day home it was Jake's birthday so we had a birthday breakfast of doughnuts in the hotel that morning and opened some presents ha ... 

 So handsome! We will be having his real party soon and I haven't had time to get it all together so the next few days I will be kicking it into gear lol but it will be such a great one ... Lego Ninjago theme (say what? I know ha) a tough one that's for sure ... but don't doubt this party planner .. I have cute ideas ;)

My cousin Kenzy has the same Bday as Jake and we got to celebrate with her when we got home too ...

Can't believe she is 13 ... a teenager ... totally crazy! Love her though, isn't  she so pretty and cute? The silly picture cut off her super cute cowboy boots she got for her bday :( But she looked adorable! Love you Kenzy!! XOXO

I feel like I have so many more things to share but let's be honest, this is enough for one post ha. 

I will leave you with this ... my new desktop on my computer ... you can steal it if you want ;) I stole it from Emily ha so now I will pass along to everyone else ... 

So appropriate for the 1st day of summer :) 

Oh and I almost forgot ... 

my baby ... 

He is still such sweetness and he has been spending his summer days so far eating popsicles and hanging out with me :) 

Love him!!!!! So freaking cute. <3 

Can't wait to catch up on all my favorite blogs this weekend ... :) 

Happy almost weekend! 

E-Card Obsession ... Top 20!

Well hello there :)

If you are on Pinterest on a daily basis like moi...
 then I am sure you are just as obsessed with these hysterical e-card pics as I am.

They literally crack me up, I find myself laughing out loud at all most all of them!

So in an effort to make everyone laugh on this holiday weekend ... I have compiled my


TOP 20

Drum roll please .... In no particular order ...  Enjoy :) Ha.

Hahaha what did we ever do before Pinterest?? 

I literally hate Crocs... always have, always will ... I tolerate them on the kids ONLY at the beach ha!

One word ... Hangry ha. I am totally guilty of this. 

Haha this is 100% COMPLETELY me ... I seriously would do this if I didn't think I would lose business lol I hate listening to voicemails! 

Hahahaha ... Patience is not something I am good with .. guilty again. 

LOL

So True!

If this were true, I would be so super skinny ha! 

Ha that is just funny period. 

Hahahaha I have several of those days. 

Love this ... LOL

Hahaha

Very true in the real estate business hahaha ;)

To all my 50 Shades friends haha ;) those books make you question if you are sane after you finish when you are slightly depressed you aren't reading anymore ha 

Hahahaah that one is seriously probably one of my top 3 favorites ever! 

Sad, but true ha  

Em this is for you :) It is true though, Lilly clothes make me happy ha :) 

And I have saved the best for last ... 

I think we can ALL relate to this one ... 

Hahahaha
anyone who knows me well, knows I can totally concur with this ha. 

Happy Memorial Day weekend :)
PS. I promise to try to get back into the blogging swing .. I have been MIA and it's making me sad!

Summer Must Have's/Obsessions

Summer is basically right around the corner (June 20th to be exact!) so I figured it would be a good time to let yall in on my favorite Summer items :)

My faves ... In no particular order ....

Neutral Lip Gloss... 
MAC Pretty Plush 

Obsessed with this stuff, can't live without it! It's kind of a plumper so has a little tingle, be prepared ;)

Summer Pink Nails... 

Essie "Muchi, Muchi" and then the Sparkle is Essie "A Cute Above" 

A Cute Dress & Cowboy Boots :) 

One of my favorite Summer outfits ... so comfy, cute and easy! 

Non-Greasy, Smells Yummy, SPF ... 

This is my absolute favorite, you won't use any other SPF after you use this one! Smells so good and isn't all greasy and nasty feeling. Plus it kind of has a shimmer which is a plus :) 

A Good Summer Playlist for the Pool/Beach ...

This is my current playlist on my phone which constantly is on repeat (With the exception of Andy Grammer, that song drives me insane but it's Ava's favorite so I tolerate it lol, and yes that is Justin Bieber and yes that is for me and not the kids ha!) :) 

A Baby Pool in Your Backyard ...

No explanation needed ... Frankie and I love to lay out in the baby pool when we're too lazy to go to the real pool, lol :) 

Speaking of Frankie ... 

Summer Polo's for your Furbaby ...

Yes, Frankie has almost every color Polo shirt that he wears to cookouts, parties, etc in the Summer
Don't Judge Me. ;) He looks so handsome in them.

OK, these are major ... brace yourself... 

Monogrammed "Havaianas" Flip Flops from Swagstamp ... Order them NOW!

And everyone needs a good dumb blonde joke every now and then ... so here ya go! 

LOL :) 

Hope you're having a great weekend!! 

New Obsession!

Well hello there!

Did you think I had just given up on blogging all together?

Of course not! :) I have just had some distractions lately!

Craziness is the only word to describe how my life has been these last few weeks!

So lets just go straight to the most important thing I've got going on right now...

Raise your hand if you have jumped on this bandwagon ?!?

Holy heck I can not stop reading! I am only on the first book... got it on my Kindle because literally every person I know is currently reading, has read, or is dying to read these books... so I felt like I was missing something!

Once I started.. I was sucked in and now I can't stop reading!

Just for fun ... and in case you haven't bought this book yet and need a reason to, lol, take a gander at some of my Fbook comments about it ... :)

Hahaha obviously you can tell with 22 "Likes" in a matter of minutes, that I am not the only one obsessed! Makes me feel better about myself ;)

Yes, it is a little soft core porn-ish in my opinion. Yes, a couple of times I was reading I felt like I should be reading on a bench in an XXX rated store ha. But it's still good. You can't help but keep reading.

If you haven't seen these on Pinterest yet ... I will share :)

Thanks Tommie haha loved it!! :) 

 And my personal favorite ... 

Hahaha that's pretty funny.

Lastly on my 50 Shades rant ... I went googling and just might have found a picture of Mr.Grey himself...
(well the guys who is chosen to play him in the possible upcoming movie ... warning.. this could all be rumor-mill ha! But if so, you can still use him to have a mental picture in your head while reading the books!) ...

Ian Somerhalder .... I die over him! 

(Emily Foushee Jenkins, this is for you hahaha! <3)

Not really what I pictured him to look like while reading the book .... BUT he's pretty freaking hot, so it works ha. 

Moral of the story ... if you've not starting reading these books then you must. Stat! 

If you have ... don't dare tell me anything about the second or third ones! 

I'm saving them for our vaca in a couple of weeks :)
