It's that time of year again..

I love love love decorating for Christmas and the fact that I get to do it in my own space how I want to makes it even more fun. I planned everything out once the Christmas stuff hit the stores and I fell in love with Target's decor they had this year. Most if not all of my decor is from Target besides the twin ribbon with the writing on it, that's from Joanne's 

Jaylen and I picked our own tree out and took it home that night and I pitched it all alone.. the beauty of being a single mom. Someone's gotta do it right? But the tree was only about 2 feet taller than me and I'm tall so it wasn't to bad and obviously I managed from the pictures above. I had a blast doing this and I hope you enjoy and take all the inspiration you need loves!

Wekiva Springs

Over the weekend Jaylen, my boyfriend and I decided to head up to Wekiva Springs. I always wanted to come to this place since before I moved to Florida since I researched so much and bookmarked any and everything I wanted to do. It was everything I imagined.. well almost the water is supposedly supposed to be warm all the time but it wasn't and I guess I can't complain to much because at least we can get in the open water this time of year. 

It was truly beautiful though and just warm enough outside the water to sit around in a bikini. Jaylen had a blast here he didn't want to get out of the water but I did because I'm a wimp for the cold. The springs here are really awesome and I plan on going to all of them here in the central area since they all have so much to offer like Blue Springs.. you can swim with the Manatees! 

We're settling in quite well

It's so great we have out own place now, It excites me every time I think about it and how I made it here not just on my own but with the support of my family. Jaylen loves his new room and his space and I do too! I don't have everything up just yet because with working and just being tired after work a lot of stuff gets put on the back burner until the weekends. 

As you can see this time of year is so great for the windows to be open and boy do I have them open constantly. The breeze is just amazing and because I don't have cable I love to sit and listen to music on my Pandora stations while the wind blows the trees. As you can see he loves it just as much!

Chuck Chuck!

Happy Halloween everyone. This year Jaylen is a dump truck of the cartoon character "Chuck" from the show Adventures of Chuck and Friends it's a Netflix thing. He loves all things cars, trucks, trains really anything transportation and considering I couldn't think of what to make him this year when I saw this I knew he would love it. We wen't to the same neighborhood as last year like I said we would and we got our picture back and then another taken, so I'm excited to see what he will be next year and do it again. I hope you all had a great one just as we did with lots of candy and spooks!

Pumpkin Days

                       This time of year is my favorite by far! I don't know it's something about the feeling of fall that just makes me feel so comforted and the weather is so great. Jaylen loves pumpkins and being able to pick his was super fun for him. We searched high and wide (not really) for this little set up pumpkin patch. Florida is great for this kind of stuff if you don't live in the central area like we do. So a lot of places set up the places and we found one in Windemere, Florida that had a carnival near by and just made a great day of it. Picking Pumpkin fun... Enjoy!

Home is Where the Heart is..

We are all moved in to our apartment! This picture represents the non mess that's in my house right now. Jaylen and I have been laying on the floor for the last few days until we get our couches doing things like this. Although he always has climbed up my legs and rough housed with me, this picture just represents us and our lively lives and I'm excited to have so much fun in our place making it our own in our own way.

Pitch a Teepee

Beach bound once again my friends, I forgot my camera on this trip so there would be more pictures but this is all got. I went on a spontaneous beach trip with my two girlfriends and we were in the water for most of the time anyway. Jaylen had a blast with us girls and I. Just like he's one with nature he's one this the ocean as well. I promise next time we take a beach trip I won't forget my camera!
