You guys know I’m a sucker for a colorful door and Mama Duck got a fresh new coat of paint on hers! It’s fitting in very nice with the season’s colors!😍🍁
If being basic is wrong, I don’t want to be right! 👻🎃 Had so much fun at the pumpkin patch with the girls!
Goal update coming in hot and keeping it short and sweet because your girl has a to-do list a mile long to get done before the weekend! It's been a cray-cray month. Slightly unexpected, really stressful and yet a little relaxing at the same time?! It was a good one, so here's a look at some of the ish I got done! . 1️⃣ We crushed some more goals at @Boldandpop! Last month we surpassed our whole yearly income from 2018, hit our quarter 3 goal... and we still have a whole quarter 😱Whatttt! So dang proud of the work we've put in and the amazing clients we get to work with on their social media, branding and web design projects 2️⃣ Here's the unexpected one... I jumped into the homebuying process! If you caught my last few posts you saw that I made an offer (okay severallll offers) on a place. It didn't end up working out but the wheels are officially in motion and I'm SO pumped/nervous/all of the things. 3️⃣ Upgraded our community garden plot next year for a bigger one and got it all cleared and ready for transplanting at the end of the season. 4️⃣ Completed my yearly meet-ups goal with local biz professionals for the year and will be pushing that goal out for a few more for Q4! 5️⃣ Scheduled more downtime. September rounded out our summer trips and I intentionally planned more time to chill a little. With the whole open houses and making offers that downtime may have been a little more stressed that I had planned buttt got it done! . #RealTalk there's also a whole lot on my monthly inentions and goals worksheet that didn't happen this month... but it happens and I'm going to carry them over to this month!
Well guys... I didn't get it.🏠 . I'd much rather be posting to tell you I'm one step closer to owning an adorbs townhouse with a sick rooftop and views of the city and mountain but alas that's not the case. 6 stressful days, 1 bidding war, my highest and best offer, and one epic letter where I dropped a Grey's Anatomy reference in it later, I didn't come out victorious. And since you know, I decided to share that I made an offer with the whole dang world, I figured I might as well share this side too 😜 . Life has a funny way of working out though and while this listing didn't work out, a lot of things still did. I mean.. I went from casually looking at my Zillow updates (you know my fav hobby) to getting preapproved and making a freaking offer in a 24-hour period! HUGE thanks to my agent and lender for actually being able to pull that off. I should also add in, that a week ago I didn't even think this was actuallyyy going to be an option for a little bit longer. . So in one week, I found a dream listing, signed my agent, learned all about co-borrowing, got preapproved, made an offer, made a wholeee lot of spreadsheets with pricing scenarios and budgets, waited a lot, survived my first bidding war, and learned firsthand about how hot the market really is. Yeah, it didn't end the way I had hoped, but look at everything that DID work out. . It goes to show that sometimes you just need to be ready to make the jump whether you feel ready or not. Sometimes it's going to work out and other times it won't, but guess what, you're probably going to learn a lot either way. So if you need a little nudge to do that with something in your life too... here it is! Because guess what, that "perfect timing" thing you're waiting for, well, it doesn't always exist. So get out there! . Oh, and btw this is my official announcement that #HouseHuntersAnnaEdition is officiallyyyy going to continue on to its second episode. Oh this is happeningggg and I’m prob going to share more about it because that’s how I roll.💁🏼‍♀️
Where function meets design! Lots of custom coded features are going into one of the blog website designs we’re working on and I cannot wait to share! For now you just get a tiny little preview at what I’ve been up to!😍
I debated if I wanted to share this or not... in case things don’t work out butttt 1.) I’m really bad at keeping things to myself I’m excited about 🙊and 2.) I also believe in the power of good vibes/prayers/all of that positive energy so I decided what the heck, I’m sharing!✨ . So here’s the scoop... My low-key @zillow stalking, turned into casually going to some open houses... to falling in love with a listing Thursday night, seeing it Friday and putting in an offer this weekend!😱😱😱 . It’s been quite the whirlwind, especially since I wasn’t really expecting this, but sometimes in life you just have to jump when things feel right! HUGE shout-out to @melohogan.realtor for dropping everythingggg this weekend to go over the process and get the offer in too! The bestttt! . So here’s where you come in... They’re going through offers Tuesday and I could use alllll of the positive vibes you have in the meantime because holy moly I want it!!! Also positive vibes that I don’t have a heart attack before then, because it’s been touch and go since Friday!!! 😂💗🤞#HGTVMakesThisLookLessStressful
