Toothfairy, Chumley's, Remodel & Wrestlers ha

What a slacking blogger I have been this week... work has been crazy, which is good because I LOVE that everyone is wanting to sell or buy a house right now :) And love even more that all my wonderful clients have chosen me to be their Realtor! :) Thanks everyone! I was thinking of re-capping the week with the things that stood out the most and here is what I've come up with... Enjoy!

The toothfairy came to our house on Wednesday night :) Ava lost her first tooth.... she was a little nervous but super excited afterwards because she wanted to see what "prize" she would get from the Toothfairy... $2 under your pillow just doesn't do it anymore people... The Toothfairy has to go out all with lipgloss, fingernail polish and some cash lol oh how things have changed... (sorry mom & cathi lol)

Speaking of sleeping, this seems to be why I can't get any lately...

Literally he is either all spread out, snoring, taking up the entire king size bed (when he weighs 5 lbs), or I wake up and he is sleeping on my chest, wrapped around my neck, and I am sufficating. How can I be mad though? Just look at how sweet he is ;)

So cute and cuddly! lol

Well the Chumley's are back. For those of you who don't know my BFF Chrissy (see below...)

 Her and her husband have literally put their house on the market 565 times (exaggeration a little but not much ha good thing I love them!) and then taken it back off, but this weekend there is no more "boy who cried wolf" and they are really selling their house this time! Yay for me because that means I get to show them houses, which also means I get to see this little sweet Godson face everytime....

Love him. So precious!

Their house is a great starter home, Hamburg area, VERY cute ranch... here is a sneak peek if you know anyone who is looking... nice Family Room w/ Fireplace!

Very neutral and clean! Nice Area. Perfect for a first time buyer!

Speaking of houses... I also listed a house this week that is an awesome flip house done by a friend/client of mine. It is so crazy different from before and they did such a good job I had to show off the before and after pics for everyone to see!!

One last item of discussion... Jake has decided on a "whistler" which is how he says the word "wrestler" haha theme for his 4th birthday party which will be in June... I know what you are thinking if you are a girl reading this... ughhhh! LOL because that is kind of what I thought but then I had to remember that this is his birthday party and he can have whatever theme he wants, even if it is a wrestler theme and we have never even watched the first wrestle match (is that what you call them?) on TV in our lives.... he just likes the little figure wrestle guys to play with I guess ha. Do you know how hard it is to have a "wrestle theme" bday party? So far this is all I can come up with.... what do you think?

These invitations that look like tickets to a show ? haha

Personalized Water Bottle Labels, and Candy Wrappers for the guests...

Lifesize Hulk Hogan Cardboard Cutouts to sit around the party area (cheesy? thought he would like that ha)

 

I found this cake we can have the fabulous Confused Confections kind of work their magic and re-make!

Can be made a little cuter probably but this will do for now lol

Then I also found a wrestle ring inflatable that you can box in... the kids will all love this! Everytime we rent an inflatable they are in heaven! :)

And that's it so far... hopefully I can turn a "whistler theme" into something fun and cute, and not a total trash bash hahahahahaha

Happy Friday!

Derby & Mother's Day

What a big weekend.... the Ky Derby and Mother's Day! We had a very fun time all weekend!

Yesterday we went to Louisville to Chris's parents house for a little Derby celebration with the kids and his family! I decided the kids would have a Derby race of their own and we did a little arts and crafts project! I bought some yard sticks at Lowes and printed off some horse heads and jockey silks for them to color, and then cut out and glue to the sticks to "ride" ;)

Finished Product!

 "And they're off...!"

And don't you even think for a second that Chris didn't jump in and race too! Ha So fun!

We celebrated Chris's neice, Claire's, birthday... we got her a Kaboodle filled with goodies... who remembers a Kaboodle?? hahaha love it! Haven't seen one for forever until I spotted one at Target!

She's too stinkin cute!

Before the race we all drew a horse out of a bowl to win some cash (not much, kids were involved here lol so just for fun!)... well Ava had already picked a horse the day before at school and she chose "Animal Kingdom"... then when it was her turn to draw from her Mimi's bowl, she randomly drew "Animal Kingdom" again! She was so excited! Well I'll be dang if Animal Kingdom didn't win the Derby and you would have thought she hit the lotto!

 Here she is with her winnings lol So excited!!

$10.00 :) LOL So precious! Go Ava!!!

I look ridic (had just gotten my makeup done from the Kaboodle gift, hince the purlpe eyeshadow, but thought this pic was cute anyway... thanks Lisa ha!

And we got to see Baby Jack ... cutest baby ever... Chris's sister's baby boy! Love him....

Cutest face ever! So sweet! <3

  Then today we went to church and lunch with my mom for Mother's Day... sushi @ Miyako.. yum!

I kind of wanted to steal her flower balloon it was so cute ha!

Now I will spend the rest of today with my son... :) Watching Lifetime movies and relaxing on the couch!

Happy Mother's Day to all you Moms, especially my Mom! XOXO

A Derby Recipe & Randomness

Happy Derby Weekend!

These cute little postcards I have show a quick, easy recipe for tomorrow's Derby Day...
thought I would share in case anyone is in need of something to take to a party, or just want to try something new :) Enjoy!

I listed a SUPER cute new condo today if any of you Lexingtonian's know of someone looking for one... it is 2.4 miles from UK Campus, off Nicholasville Rd. in a Gated Community with a POOL :)
3 Bedrooms, 2.5 Baths  1465 sq ft  Only $139,900!!
Here are a couple pics...

Good News is, the furniture is also for sale too! So could be sold as a furnished unit. CLICK HERE for more information or you can message me too :)

Today I also showed houses and stumbled upon one that I was OBSESSED with, basically just because of the Kitchen. Look at this kitchen... I LOVE LOVE LOVE it! My ideal kitchen! (Someday I will have ha)

It's hard to tell kind of from these pictures but in person it was totally fabulous! My clients loved it too!

Random, Shocker of the Week (saying that sarcastically ha) ....

Tamara & Eddie... at it again... PDA to the fullest in last weeks episode. Seriously they drive me insane!

GET A ROOM! lol gross. period. the. end.

Hope to have some cute pics to post soon... Derby, Mother's Day, looking forward to a fun filled weekend!

My crazy week

First I should say that I am so tired right now I feel drunk, so if there are typos I apologize lol

This has been a CRAZZZYYYY week for me... since Friday, I have officially sold 5 houses, and doing a 6th one tomorrow! What a blessing! WOW! And I was just complaining a couple weeks ago that this time last year I was slammed and this year, I was getting a little worried, LOL guess I spoke too soon! Sometimes I am in awe of how things can happen so fast and things can change literally in the blink of an eye! I love it.

Yesterday I was showing houses, I am unlocking the door, my clients are behind me, they start to gasp like there is a spider on my head, I step back, look up in horror, and see this....

A BAT... yes a real life BAT, not a fake one, not a plastic one, a real life one, hanging upside down from the light fixture on the front porch, little ears pointed and all... about to fly down and give me rabies. Don't think so. I rush inside shut the door. We tour the house. Decide it's kinda cute, minus the bat, but in the end not for them. We all leave through the garage, where I professionally let me new clients (first time I have met them) go out first to the driveway, I stand inside, hit the garage button and run fast speed ahead jumping over the censor and under the moving garage door. Thank goodness these clients had a sense of humor, because there was no way in HELL I was going back near the front door and Mr. Batty himself. Baby bat or adult bat, I don't really care. Thanks, but no thanks. This goes down as one of the most dramatic house showings I have had I'm pretty sure.

Today I got pulled over. I was coming back from Nicholasville and I will admit, I was texting.... I know, I am a horrible person, I failed Oprah's pledge, I broke a promise to myself, I feel bad about it I really do! But sometimes I just can't help it! So I am texting and driving down a straight road with hardly any cars around me (if that makes you feel better ha it does me a little bit) and I look up and see blue and red lights in my rear of view mirror. Great. Just Great. I am going to jail for texting and driving. I knew I would eventually get caught. The time has come. I pull over into a skanky redneck gas station, he comes up behind me... I roll down my window, he says "Maam do you know why I pulled you over?" I'm thinking, of course I do I was texting, somehow you saw me through my tinted windows and now I am going to jail, but I calmy say "No not real sure sir??" LOL

He says, "well you sped up through a yellow light causing you to run a red light, your tags are expired (whole 'nother story) and you are not wearing a seat belt."  All I can think of is, wow he didn't see me texting haha! He then asks for my drivers license and insurance.... oh boy. Anyway that knows me knows my car is a TOTAL disaster, looks like a bomb went off, but does smell like Vanilla Cupcake Yankee Candle Air Freshener :) Just looks like the city dump. So I dig through my glove compartment, middle console, look in the visors, under the seat, all the normal places you would have an insurance card (LOL) and....

Another shocker... I don't have an insurance card!! I tell him I have insurance, it comes out of my account every month on the 10th, its $212.50 lol I think he believes me, but still says I need to have it in my car. He goes back to his car for what seems like a lifetime but really was about 15 minutes (what the heck takes so long? That is just ridiculous. I was late to my appointment, hence the speeding through a yellow light lol jk I really still don't think I sped through the light!?!)... then he finally comes back... smiles and says "I will give you a warning but wear your seat belt and get your tags up to date, have a nice day."

I couldn't help but roll up my window and laugh. I was sitting there the whole time thinking, this will be a $500 ticket, I will have to come to court in Jessamine County, I don't even know where the courthouse is, blah blah blah! I was so pissed before I couldn't see straight, mad at myself for waiting 4 months to get my tags renewed when Chris tells me WEEKLY to go do it, and I procrastinate, bc that's what I do, procrastinate... I hate doing stuff like that and I hate going downtown and having to park in the garage and walk in there and wait 2 hours in a line just for a stupid little sticker for my tag! Does anyone feel my pain on this?? Anyway, that was the bad part of my day, but good because I didn't get ticket! :) Thank you Lord!

This is random, but is anyone else ready for SUMMER? What is going on with this winter weather?? UGHHH! Frankie almost wouldn't go out to pee this morning because I think he was in shock of the coldness, which made me think back to how much he loves Summer, and how much of a model he really is...

This is Frankie w/ his cousin Lucy-Belle at the lake, with their "faux" Louis Vuitton life-jackets lol

And here he is on the boat with his visor in case the sun is too much for his eyes... haha Thanks Aunt Steph :) Can't wait to go with you this Summer and Frankie can't wait either!!

Happy Wednesday!

Some Preferred Business

For those of you living in Lexington, I have some good referrals for you! Now I know us women can do it ALL, find things that are "lost, thrown away, or misplaced" by our significant other, clean the house, do the grocery shopping, write the bills, schedule things, take care of the social calendar, do the laundry, let the dog out to pee, etc etc etc. However, there are two things that this little lady does NOT do:

1. Any yard mowing or maintenance
2. Any handy-man issues that come up around the house

Now luckily Chris does most of these things, but when I lived alone, I paid a ridiculous amount of rent to live in a nice apartment so I wouldn't have to worry about it. Those days are over. And I know lots of my girlfriends live alone or with other girlfriends... or you may be married to a very lazy, I mean busy, husband hahaha...so you may be in need of two VERY good referrals!

Referral Numero Uno...

A good friend and client of mine, Adam, started this company and they are a great number to have on your fridge or in your celly! They can do it all! Small or large jobs, any sort of handy-man project or task, they can handle! They are very good to work with and reasonably priced. I have used them with several of my clients and have always had a pleasant experience, as I know my clients have too. Please visit their website and store their number... you never know when you made need it! Please take it from me, don't just choose a random contractor out of the phonebook...when it comes to work around the house, if not quoted by a reliable professional, homeowners can be easily ripped a new one, if you know what I mean! Rest assured, you can trust Adam and his crew :)

Referral #2 ...

Now this is a MAJOR referral right now... because if you are like me, you hate when your grass is taller than your dog while he is trying to go pee-pee outside! And also like me, you like to see the "stripes" in your lawn when it gets mowed by a professional :)  This company is owned by a good Realtor friend of mine, Ben, and they tend to yards all over Lexington! If you are in need of a "landscape spruce up" or even just a good mowing, these are your guys! Also reasonably priced, I think you will be highly satisfied! Visit their Facebook Fan Page  and "Like" it to get more information and to contact them! Tell them RealDanaGentry sent you :)

While I'm at it, I might as well plug Chris's new Property Inspection Company as well!

Whether you are buying a home (and if you are hopefully you are using me as your Realtor lol) or whether you know someone who is in need of a property inspection... please check out his Facebook Fan Page and "Like" it... and keep it in mind if you happen to ever need a home inspection or know anyone who does! Thanks guys!!

Now just another fun fact... my "Royal Wedding...and Divorce" blog from three days ago has had 8,767 views!! Is this insane or what? I think it's because David Beckham's name is in it and people are googling him and stumbling upon my little bloggy and thinking it is going to be something special about him hahahaha! Just can not believe it every time I look at my "stats" button! Craziness.

Note to self: blog about hot soccer players more often for the hard core blog hits!
