So far, no snow (which is great) but the cold temps......I could do without. It's been fun having today off and tomorrow from school (although I have to work tomorrow)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I think at this point everyone is looking towards Spring. I know I am! I have been looking at the new arrivals from Lilly and am excited to see the new releases coming out from J Crew next week. I have been kind of disappointed as of late with J Crew so I hope they can step out and show us something spectacular. Meanwhile-here is what I am loving. I am on the fence about the dress because I want to wear it this summer but am afraid it might be too warm on a hot day. I have a gift card so the dress would only be $64!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Everyone have a great week. XO Molly</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Well here it is January 10 and we already thinking ahead to our Summer Vacation. It was my daughter's pick since she is graduating in June. It will probably be our last vacation with her. Sigh.....</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I have a friend who's a cast member at Disney. Coincidentally she was also my daughter's kindergarten teacher so she was there when it began way back 18 years ago. I called AAA, I called Disney Travel and her cast discount was so much less I couldn't pass it up. The dining plan is even included. I have to get the theme park tix separately but she has a place for those too which is much less than buying them direct.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I have been looking at Pinterest a lot. Getting good packing ideas, learning about new place to eat (we've been many times but want to to try new restaurants) Pinterest is such a great place to find tips on just about anything under the sun.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So as I sit here and think about our June trip I can't help but wonder what waits ahead weather wise for us. Will it snow? Will we have tons of snow days? Who knows.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">On another topic---the Lilly APS sale. I have to say I really did well. Rather than get into the virtual line I shopped other Lilly stores like Pink of the Pines, Village Palm and the Pink Pelican. I bought 2 Elsa's for $79 each which is a great price. I have since seen them re stock and now they are $158 again. I scored so many great deals and didn't spend more than $300. I actually went to our local store where I found a Marco Island Tunic is "pooling around" for $59. I say it was win, win. The only thing that irritates me is the number of people who are selling their finds on Ebay for full price or double the price. I guess it's the nature of the beast. If you want something bad enough I guess people will pay those prices.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I hope everyone has a great start to the week ahead. Snow, snow snow!! Not really it's just wishful thinking!!!</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Ok all you Lilly lovers. Who's ready for the After Party Sale? For those of you who don't know this sale happens 2 times a year. Once right after the New Year and then again in Summer. I have been stalking many Lilly Facebook pages to get the 411 on the sale. It seems like it's a BIG deal, like huge, like people actually take off work to stay home and shop. Once you are on line you are in a virtual "line" and you must check out quickly or you may not get your items. I don't know about all of you but after reading about this all weekend I think I'll pass. My Lilly store is opening at 8 AM tomorrow so I'll just head over there once the kiddos get off to school. I see this as a more relaxed and enjoyable shopping experience. They have already told me they will price match!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">If you have been on Facebook this weekend you probably know that some Lilly Signature stores have already posted their sale lists. I actually purchased a few items from them with the promise that they will ship to me in a week. I guess they get so overwhelmed with orders it will take them a week to get it all sorted, packed and shipped out.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I have an affinity for anything Lilly. My local consignment store carries quite a bit of Lilly so I pop in there from time to time to see what's new. I have scored various cashmere sweaters for only $25. I think that's a terrific deal.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Good luck to all you tomorrow morning. Ready, set, shop!!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Hello everyone and Happy New Year!!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I can't believe that's it's 2016-last year simply flew by. I didn't blog as much as I wanted but I am going to try to keep up with it this year.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">2016 is going to be a busy year for our family. I have a soon to be high school graduate and a child headed to High School in the Fall. I am still organizing and helping clients create clean and functional spaces for their homes. Now is a great time to get organized, purge, donate and re do your spaces. Try to commit to one space a day in order to make your life simpler. Remember, less is always better!! When I am not organizing I am working as a Pre school teacher twice a week which is very rewarding and fun!!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I hope everyone has a prosperous and fantastic New Year. See you soon.</span><br />

Wow, is it already June 17? I want Summer to slow down.......</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I am headed out for a Girls Get- A-Way and I can't wait. I have never done one before and am over the top excited about the prospect of relaxing, sightseeing and have great meals that I can savor without rushing.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Where's our destination you may ask? Charleston, SC!! It's going to be over 100 degrees so lucky for us we booked 2 nights at Kiawah where we can sit by the pool and relax in the hot sun. Since most of Kiawah is condos and home rentals we secured a hotel that appears to have all the amenities we could dream of.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Our first night we are staying in the Historic District where where we are around the corner from the famous King St. If anyone has any ideas to share about dining and sight please leave a comment. We are taking a tour on Friday for 90 min so we will have plenty of time left to see other things. Ideas for lunch Friday would be great as well as places to dine in Kiawah.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I hope everyone is enjoying the Summer!!! I'll be back to post pics when I return. Back to packing....what to wear, what to wear???</span><br />

It's been so long since I have posted here. I thought it would be fun to show my packing list for our upcoming Florida Trip. We have several stops along the way at the beach but our main destination is Disney. It will be hot but we are looking forward to the fun and excitement that is Disney --here is a preview of some of my clothing items---</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I have relied on J Crew and Loft to carry me thru on my vacation. Of course, the long sleeves will be for air conditioned times and cooler nights (if we have any)--Savannah, Amelia Island and Vilano Beach are some of our stops on the way. We can't wait. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Here is my go to list when packing for a Summer vacation:</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Shorts</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Sleeveless tops</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Cardigans or long sleeve tops for cool night or air conditioning</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">4 pairs of sandals</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">3 bathing suits with sunscreen/towels</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">2 dresses</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Accessories like necklaces, scarves, earrings etc.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Sleepwear</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Camera</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Laptop or iPad</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I recommend the My Disney experience app along with the Hilton or Marriott apps on your cell phones-this saves time with booking a last minute hotel or checking wait times at Disney for the rides. We already have our magi bands and have booked our fast passes and restaurant reservations in advance. This has saved us time with planning ahead. We also have checked in to our hotel so when we arrive they direct us to our room and we are off. Wilderness Lodge here we come!!! We are fortunate to have a friend who works for Disney and she has hooked us up with a fantastic vacation at a big discount. Gotta love that--</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My final tip is this. I purchased a small plastic bin that will hold some essentials and non essentials you may need while traveling with kids. Inside I have a bottle of liquid advil, a thermometer, clorox wipes, small lysol, ammonium ad, band aids, chewable advil, hand sanitizer, small bath soap, makeup removers, lint roller, benadryl tablets, cortizone creme ( for bites) and anything else I think I may need. I don't want to be looking for a drug store on my vacation nor do I want to pay ridiculous prices for buying stuff at the hotel. Each and every time we have used many of these items and I am so glad I had them along. This bin fits nicely inside my "thirty one" beach bag. I have several packages of clorox wipes so I can sanitize the hotel TV remote, faucets, toilet and door knobs! I also purchased GAIN laundry detergents tabs in case I need to do laundry. A small bag with 10 tablets is about $4.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I hope you are all enjoying your summer. See you when we return. </span></div>

It's been 6 months that I've been away from my blog. After my move last Summer and with starting a new school with my kids life just got really busy.<br />
<br />
I hope this finds everyone well and off to a great start to Summer. We finished school May 24 and have already been to Maine on vacation. We have a few other trips planned this Summer, one to Hilton Head that we always enjoy.<br />
<br />
I'll be back sometime soon with some things I love for summer. We just had a new AT Loft open here so I have enjoyed shopping there and finding some great summer items.<br />
<br />
Be sure to check my Ebay items. I will be listing a bunch of great J Crew stuff today. My user id is Maddyandme.<br />
See you soon<br />

I am happy to report that I was in the first group that went in. It was well worth the early arrival to guarantee I'd have the opportunity to snag some top rate items. And score I did. I will share my experience later this week.<br />
<br />
My kids off are off school tomorrow so we're enjoying a nice long weekend. The leaves are at peak here, the weather is gorgeous. Life is good.......<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
Hello, I hope everyone has a great start to this week. I love Monday's, I get charged up about getting things done on my to do list. </div>
</div>
<br />
Since I moved to the South I was surprised to find that churches here are so "casual" and "laid back" The first time I went to church everyone knew we were new because we were so dressed up. If church starts at 10 AM then people arrive at 10 AM, not before, really!! Dress is very casual, no suits, ties or dresses. I am so used to my traditional service at the Methodist church back in West Virginia that it's taken me awhile to adjust. Yesterday I decided to join the ranks and were my Loft jeans. My outfit came together nicely. I had forgotten about purchasing this sweater when it first came out. I rec'd do many compliments. It's such a conversation piece.<br />
<br />
Before I share my OOTD please check out my latest Ebay offerings. I have some great items for sale right now.<br />
<br />
Have a great week.<br />
<br />
XO Molly<br />

Hello Lovely Ladies!!<br />
<br />
I broke down and bought this beauty you see above. It's even BETTER in person than on the website. I wore it to church yesterday and everyone swooned over the sweater. It's so gorgeous and worth every cent I paid. It does run large, I could probably do a small but I bought my regular medium and it's fine. I had heard it ran a bit large but I am glad for the extra room so I can layer.<br />
<br />
Another goody I recently found are these skorts for ATHLETA<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Oh my gosh, this is the cutest skort ever and it's so widely popular they're on backorder until December 1. I have about 4 of them now and I wear them all during the week. Esp to school events with my cute Jambu shoes. This is the perfect piece for just about anything including vacations. If it gets wet it dries in no time flat. It's a skort so it's extra comfy. I highly recommend these.<br />
<br />
I'll be back later in the week with some OOTD. I am being careful about my money these days. Other than the sweater and skorts I've "just said no" to everything else. I have enjoyed pulling out my vintage J Crew sweaters now that it's cooler and wearing those. Here's a sampling of what I have (and these look cute with the skort and a tee)I have avout 20 I've collected since 2006.<br />
<br />
Have a great day <br />
XO Molly<br />

Where I live it's so cool and chilly at night. The slight breeze coming in the window makes for a great night's sleep. The crisp morning smell like Fall now. The leaves will be changing here soon and I can't wait.<br />

My outfit is anything but "fallish" but I am home all day cleaning and cooking so wanted to be comfy until I pick up my kids. Here is what I am wearing.....<br />

I just found out that my girls have Thanksgiving week off, we've never had this week free before so I am excited to plan a little get away. We were thinking of Atlanta so we could visit the Atlanta Aquarium which I heard is great, also Buckhead for great shopping. If anyone can post a comment about things to do in Atlanta please feel free, I'd like some ideas. Living in the South really affords some great get a ways to some neat places. I am also considering some other places as well, maybe somewhere really warm!!</div>

It seems like I am busier now than I was before I moved.<br />
My youngest has a big field trip tomorrow near the Smoky Mountains so that will be fun, my other daughter is on a High School retreat thru tomorrow afternoon. I was able to get everyone off this AM and came home to clean and blog!<br />
<br />
Yesterday was Bible study and this is what I wore. I had purchased this sweatshirt back in August for my Maine trip. I really love wearing it, it's so comfy and soft but I needed to come up with a way to get more wear then just on cool evenings. This is what I came up with.<br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
I saw the new arrivals at J Crew and saw some really cute items but I am going to try to not buy anything until October simply because I don't want to have an over abundance of Fall items in my closet. I am waiting patiently to wear my bow tippi -it's sold out now so I am happy I bought it when I did. One thing I wanted to mention was I also purchased the gray/pink polka dot tippi and wore it only one time. It pilled horribly and it looks really bad. I took it back to J Crew and have a credit to use later. I have no idea if this was just my sweater or if they all do that. For the price point the sweater should be in better shape after one wear. My solid color tippi didn't pill at all.</div>

School is in full swing and my oldest started High School-it's been an adjustment for all of us. But, the good news is both of my girls love their new school. Yesterday I joined the Ladies Bible Study at the school and is was so enriching and fun. The ladies are great and it was nice making some new friends. We are doing Beth Moore's study on the Book of James.<br />
<br />
While I've been gone I took a few cooking classes at Williams Sonoma which were just great, the tasting part is the best. I also applied for a PT job at J Crew. Hopefully I'll start before the Holidays and get to enjoy seeing all their new stuff as it arrives AND get a discount (which may be a bad thing).<br />
<br />
I've been looking at my closet A LOT! I really need some pants. If I am going to work a few days a week then I need some more nice pants and maybe a few new skirts. I've been combing the clearance center for some good buys and have found a few pieces. My Minnie pants are great but I am not wanting to pay full price for them. I hope to find some on sale soon. I've maintained a tight budget on clothes. I don't want to fall into the habit of buying something every week so I just stay off blogs and store websites. I still have a walk in closet at my new house but it's a bit smaller so that said I don't more than what will fit.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hi everyone, it's been pretty busy around our house the past few weeks. The kids start their new school tomorrow so I wanted to be sure to post about the last warehouse sale in Arden, NC. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I had attended a sale back in October so I pretty much knew how it worked. My only drawback-I arrived at 7:30. It really is true, you need to get there early, early!! No bones about that. I waited (are you ready for this?) 5 hours to get in. Yes, friends, I know, I know, that's crazy ridiculous but I did it anyway. Last time I only waited over 2 hours. I had heard after the fact that this was one of their biggest ever. You see, the last one was back in March so it had been awhile. The upside to the long wait was the great people I met while I line. Two great ladies behind me from Cary, NC told they found out about the sale from Alexis' JCA blog. I was actually one of 2 people who let her know about the sale back in July so my name is mentioned in her side bar about the sale. Thanks Alexis!!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So how did I fare? Not so good I am afraid. I did hit gold from my friends little girl in the Crewcuts section. The stuff was really cute and really cheap. As far as for me, nothing, nada. It's not that it's really picked over. It's a big mess. If there was a treasure to be found you'd have to dive head first in the many discarded piles to find something. So, there is something to be said about arriving early and being in the first group to get in.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I did find out that they replenish with new items for the Sunday sale. Another thing I learned is they don't take your J Crew credit card either. Only VISA or cash. If you pay cash you don't have to wait in line too long, they have a separate line for that. They do have a limit of $500 and they notice you buying too many duplicates they will question you. The only thing I would say they could change is the time limit. They won't let anyone in until other people leave. Some 9 AM people didn't come out until 1 or 2! That's a long, long time to be shopping. In the future it would nice to see them control that a bit better.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">All in all I would do it again but with a shopping buddy (I have a friend that plans to go with me next time) and we will be in the first group to go in. The next sale has yet to be announced. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Once the kids start school I'll be blogging more. I plan to start my organizing business again and finish some projects at my new home. Until then.......</span></div>

Leaving in the morning. Can't wait for cooler weather and some seafood. Can you say Yum? My favorite place is Cook's Lobster House, for all you New Englanders you may know of this place or maybe you've seen their VISA commercial a few years ago. It's beyond good........I love Camden, Acadia National Park and Boothbay Harbor and am hoping to visit there as well.<br />
<br />
I have downloaded a few favorite TV shows on my Kindle and the brand new Pioneer Woman Cooks Cookbook on my iPad. I love Ree and I love her simple and delicious recipes. I also have a few books to read as well to pass the time on the layover in NYC.<br />
<br />
I stopped by J Crew over the weekend to use my rewards card. I don't know if that's good or bad, I had quite a bit to spend. I took home the blue/green polka dot scarf, pink painter tee, both FACE lipsticks (thank you KB for the tip of picking those up!) the perfume and the new Collection Bow Tippi which is gorgeous. I also have had lots of luck at the clearance center lately too which is great. They always have something new and fun and the prices can't be beat.<br />
<br />
Have a great rest of your week. I'll be back upon my return with some lob-stah pictures!!!<br />

We loved Savannah so much. It was really hot though. We were able to enjoy Sunday buffet at Paula Deen's restaurant which was a highlight of the trip. Hilton Head was fantastic as well with lots of pool and beach time and even some mini golf in the evenings. The suitcases are being re packed for our trip to Maine this week. At least we'll have a break from the heat up there. Enjoy your week!!!<br />

How's everyone week going so far? Can you believe it's July 19 already? I've been running around getting ready for our next trip South. I thought I'd share some of the items I am taking along. I've been fortunate to have some good luck at the J Crew Clearance Center and the retail store-I love being close to a retails store!! You probably already know that there's an additional 40% off on line and in stores so I picked up a few items.<br />
<br />
Here's what I am taking:<br />

I am finally back with a post. It's been so long. Summer is flying by way too quickly and the days just seem to get away from me.<br />
<br />
How's everyone's Summer so far? Hot, right? Yep, I here ya on that. Temps continually in the 100's is tough.<br />
<br />
We're moved in and somewhat settled. I still have bins in my garage to go thru but all in good time. I am just happy to have the moving part behind me and never want to move again, too much work!!<br />
<br />
We have 2 more trips planned this Summer and we leave on one this coming weekend to Savannah and Hilton Head Island. After that it's on to our annual jaunt to Maine and all things Lobster!! I need to think about packing and lay out my clothes. It's going to be hot at the beach so I probably only need a sundress or two, bathings suits, shorts and tanks. But, like most of you I like to plan ahead, have all my outfits coordinate and throw in some new items to wear as well. I stopped by J Crew today and found this dress that I have one. I had been eyeing it on line but didn't want to buy until I could try it on and see it in person. They honored the one line sale price for me which was great as it was way more than what I'd be willing to pay. After my J Crew retail stop I drove over the clearance center an scored there too. It just doesn't pay to go in and buy at full price. I found a lady lace popover in the gray colorway(see pic on right side of this blog) for $30 (the original price was over $100 I think) and I also found the striped bow ballet flats for $50 --down from the nearly $200 price they wanted earlier this Summer. I decided to model the J Crew Anchor dress, one word, LOVE!! Fits great and love the anchor print.<br />
<br />
For those of you who live near NC the next Sample sale in Arden is Aug. 11 and 12!! I can't wait. <br />
<br />
XXOO Molly<br />

It was a whirlwind 2 weeks. We had one week here to get moved, undo boxes and set up and then we were on our way. We had SO MUCH fun! I will post some photos soon.<br />
<br />
I love living here, it's so pretty and I feel like I am on vacation every day! Tomorrow my kids want to go to Gatlinburg, it's only a short drive and we love going there. It's nice being so close to so many great places.<br />
<br />
I hope everyone is enjoying their Summer so far. Be back soon......<br />

I hope you all had a fantastic weekend. This is our final week of school. Thursday we are done!! We have an 8th grade formal this week for my oldest, a choir concert, a trip to Kings Island, a bowling party and last but not least packing for our move next week!<br />
<br />
<br />
Whew I am tired just thinking about all of the above. In the meantime I decided to go thru my closet before the move to decide which items I am packing for our upcoming beach trip. Here's what I have so far....<br />

Of course I will be adding more to my packing list like my J Crew apple tunic dress, swimsuits, shorts, more skirts/tops. Stay tuned. I'll be blogging on final time before I say farewell to my home here.<br />
<br />
Have a great week ahead.<br />

Hi everyone. A quick post with my OOTD. It's been a busy one and I ended up changing into this outfit later to take my daughter to her final ortho appt. here. It's a beautiful day outside and this outfit worked perfectly with the temps.<br />
<br />
The top and scarf are LOFT. I am in love with these stripes and bought the Petite Maxi dress in the same pattern as the scarf. I think they may be sold out now. The shoes are Tory Burch Miller-a Mother's day gift. The pic did something funky, my ankle looks weird, there is nothing wrong with my foot!!<br />
<br />
Have a great night. <br />

Very busy month for us. As you know we move in nearly 2 weeks. There is SO much to get done before the movers actually arrive. And, school is winding down as well. This week is really the last "official" week. Next week the kids have special events going on, a dance, trip to Kings Island Amusement Park and lots of fun stuff.<br />
<br />
I've been knee deep in boxes and bins. I am doing all the packing to save time and money. I have actually moved some of our stuff to the new house and have it all put away. It feels good not to have as much to do when we actually move.<br />
<br />
Right after we move we have a vacation planned. This trip was planned in June, 2001 before we knew we would move. We're headed to the Outer Banks of NC. For those of you who live on this side of the country you know this is a great place for a vacation with family. We've rented an oceanfront home with a pool with our friends so we are super excited for this trip.<br />
<br />
I hope to steal some tips from <a href="http://www.thegirliestboymom.blogspot.com/">Jan</a> and <a href="http://www.foundinmycloset.blogspot.com/">Jenni on</a> polyvore and packing so I don't over do it. I am literally unpacking then packing my suitcase again for this trip. I usually take way more than I need.<br />
<br />
I hope everyone is enjoying their final school days and looking forward to Summer once again. My Anthropologie Birthday discount came today, I have a birthday in 2 wks. Can't wait to scout the site to see what I'd like to buy!!<br />
<br />
Have a great day!!!<br />
