#moeeveryday2016 -June

June started off really hot in Augusta and ended even hotter in Augusta!

Before I moved I knew it would be hot. I have visited Jennifer in the eastern part of NC during the summer. It's hot there so I thought I was somewhat prepared. But I was not. I don't think the temperature has been below 95 since June 1st! This has been a major adjustment for this mountain girl. I finally see why the mountains of North Carolina are a great getaway!

Palm Village Augusta was lucky to have a print designer come paint a dressing room and add some finishing touches to our store.

The print designer's name was Melissa so it was easy to remember!

Mo, Melissa, me (Moe or Melissa)

As I was walking on my morning walk I fell on the sidewalk! I am thankful that I was not walking alone that morning. My friends Eleanor and Chris were walking with me. They quickly picked me up! 

My leg matched my Lilly dress for the day. 

It was a bittersweet day. Hadley and Harper finished Kindergarten. They have grown so much. 

They can read and write! I am so proud of them. They still don't love school but they did love their teacher! 

This summer I have had two college girls working with me. I love having them around me. Palmer and Callie keep me young! 

When the heat decided to come and stay a while I decided I needed to get away for a day or two. This was a 200 mile difference.  It was good to be home in the cool weather! 

My friend Kelly was home visiting family too so we had to find time to have lunch. I finally got to meet Baby Thomas! Even though he really loves his mom, I think he decided he could love his Aunt Moe! 

And I think he is in love with Cynthia! 

We love our sweet Baby Corn! 

On my way back to Augusta I had to run into the Asheville store to see my girls! 

I made it back to Augusta just in time for the best Lilly pop up print ever! 

You Gotta Regatta was re-released! This is one of my all time favorite Lilly prints!

I am feeling official. My business cards came in! 

We spent Father's day in Hilton Head. It was nice to take a mini vacation to the beach. 

I love my daddy!

I spent the morning of National Wear Your Lilly Day on the beach! 

Kayle and Sade cement the store wearing the same dress! So I made them take a picture! 

I am obsessed with Blake Lively's hair! So I tried to recreate her ponytail. I just need longer hair and little more curl!

I needed some models for Lilly shorts for little girls! Of course I asked my favorite little girls! 

I am slowly making my house more of my home. I love the North Carolina print that my friend Traci made for me! It was the perfect touch for my entry way table.

Do all these pillows make my bed look big?! 

Thanks for looking through all my June pictures for #Moeeveryday. 

I always think its fun to look back and remember what I was doing throughout the month! See you soon with a July recap!

#moeeveryday2016 - days ?

In 2014 when I took a picture of the day I did a great job keeping up with the days and number. This year not so much. I am not sure if I should continue with my picture of the day or just give up! We will see. I haven't been able to post everyday so I do not have numbers for each picture. I am doing my best to catch up! 

I had some visitors for Memorial day weekend. The weather was great. Not too hot! We were able to take a walk after dinner several evenings. 

While my friends were in town we decided to check out a peach stand! 

I always hate to see my best friends leave. Its no secret I adore them!

Just another day in the Lilly store!

We are always trying to come up with creative and fun Instagram post. I think this was one of the cutest! 

We celebrated with donuts for National Donut Day! 

At the beginning of June my store got a little makeover! We had the privilege of having a Lilly print designer come and put some finishing touches on the store! 

We were sorting shells for my shell mirrors! So much fun with some super sweet friends! 

Thanks for stopping by!

Vero Beach - Resort Buy 2016

In May I had the opportunity to travel to Vero Beach for the Lilly Pulitzer Resort 2016 on sale. It is always exciting to get to go buy for my store and see my Palm Village family! The location of the trip wasn't too bad either! 

I had to get up early to fly out of Augusta. I wanted to make sure I made it to the airport on time. I am still learning my way around town so I left in plenty of time for my 7:20 am flight. I was sitting at my gate at 6:45 am waiting to board. 

I sent this picture to my dad so he could see the plane I was boarding.

I landed in Charlotte and met up with my friend Lesa! She is the manager of Palm Village Knoxville. We love flying with her! She is just the cutest with her blanket! 

We stayed at the Costa d'Este. Gloria Estefan and her husband own this resort. The entire time we were there I kept looking for Gloria! 

Once we were checked in we had lunch and headed straight to the beach! 

I miss Alex so much so it is always great to see her. I miss working with her everyday. 

 Lesa and I had to snap a selfie wearing our Lilly bathing suits! 

My view for most of that afternoon! Not too shabby for a work trip!

On Sunday we had a spa day and a nice dinner out. 

 Me (Augusta), Alex (Asheville), Eleanor (leader of the pack), Lesa (Knoxville), and Lillie (Mandeville)

I think we have such a fun group of ladies! I enjoy every second with these gals. 

The next morning we were up early for a long day of work. I don't have a picture of that because it is top secret! You have to wait till October to see that!

After about 10 hours of working we had dinner by the beach! 

Me, Alex, and Lillie

 We met our new Lilly rep for our stores on this trip....Amy! She spent the evening chatting with us and it was nice getting to know her. 

My Palm Village family

These ladies are some of my most favorite people in the world!  

We left on Tuesday but before we left I had to visit Countryside Citrus. This was a recommendation from one of my sweet Augusta customers. I got some soft served Orange ice cream. It was yummy. I do love ice cream!

I wish I could have stayed a little longer but I couldn't wait to get back to my store and my staff! I can't wait to see my Palm Village family in August for the Spring 2017 on sale!

#moeveryday2016 days 130 - 147

So somehow I got very mixed up with my days. My number was off and I am way behind in posting them to my blog. This is my attempt to play catch up! 

day 135

The girls had some pictures made around their 6th birthday! I just think these are the cutest and sweetest toothless grins I have ever seen.

day 136

Thanks to my sweet staff I discovered Gossip Girl. I quickly became obsessed. I think its funny because I had never really heard of this show and Gossip Girl signed off with xoxo on every episode. My girls at the shop thought that I signed xoxo, aunt moe because of Gossip Girl. But I do not! This whole time I thought I was being an original. HA!

day 137

Just a couple of cuties on my computer screen
