When we head out for a hike i envision it’s like when Gilligan & the gang were planning for a three hour tour. Despite our best efforts we always overpack & over “gear”. When I was little & we would go for long walks in the woods behind our house with my Granny B, we didn’t think about spf or bug spray or having the right books for the terrain. We simply started walking. Of course we knew nothing of REI and we weren’t going off grid to bag a peak. All the same, I still think there’s an appeal to going total Grandma Gatewood and just hitting the trail for the hell of it. (Might be my approach to the AT some day!) Of course should our three hour tour ever turn into an “extended” vacation a la Gilligan I’m going to be pretty glad I’ve got those Stingers & extra laces. #hike #getoutdoors #seeNC #rei #reiaddict #stingers #gear #familyouting #hiking #saturdayvibes #jeep #lifewithviv (at The Engalawish House) https://www.instagram.com/p/Byvn2E_HHWQ/?igshid=1up6jn85v1e8o

One of the joys of owning a florist if meeting other flower designers. On our way back to Raleigh, we stopped at Maples in Micaville, a fabulous coffee & flower shop with yummy baked goods too. We got to meet Susan & Brandace, a mother/daughter design duo and Janet, who works with them in their adorable shop. It’s a long term goal to add coffee to EG (because Warren & I are caffeine fanatics), so it was wonderful to talk with them about this combination. It was great too for Viv to see a mom/daughter combo making it together in the business world. 😉 If you are ever out & about exploring in the NC mountains near Burnsville, drop in and say hi! #girlboss #haveflowerswilltravel #flowergirlnc #nc #seeNC #momboss #smallbusiness #familybusiness (at Micaville, North Carolina) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bq5ctLDnTVF/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=16z6qppwopajf
