It's finally Fall...Fall = decorating!

I unfortunately live in a state where it feels like it's summer the majority of the year...
AKA no season change. 

So when it comes to Fall in Florida the temp changes,,,
but we rarely see a real season change (leaves turning gold and red ect.) 

So now that it's finally fall,
I'm alllllllll about the fall decor & the pumpkin spice glade
--- I actually started decorating mid September because I honestly couldn't help myself!

 

This wreath I found at ROSS of all places! Steal of a deal, too! $11

Scored at the Pre season sale at walmart, all smallish pumpkins $2 + decals = Amazing

Of course, with the fall season comes FOOTBALL SEASON! (ugh for my husband at least)

My mom picked up this damask pumpkin at HOBBY LOBBY last year...I fell in love & will never loose this little gem.

The table runner we bought at Ashley furniture last year when we bought a new livingroom set :) 

So Festive right? 

"Because I said so..." - the story of his messy room

Today, my 3 year old decided to trash his room -
for no reason at all.

He took all of his toys out of their bins and threw them everywhere....

I of course asked him to clean it up and reason and bribery didn't work...
30 minutes of whining later, The "because I said so" came into play.

I've come to realize, I'm pretty sure that all mother's are born with that phrase genetically placed into our vocabulary.

Before "because I said so..."

.....And after "because I said so"

Father's Day

I cannot think of any need in childhood as strong as the need for a father's protection.

May fitness Challenge UPDATE

So here's an update on my May fitness Challenge

 and how I'm doing with the goals I set for myself!

1. No more Soda - Okay totally easier said than done! With that being said I have only had 3 sodas all month, And they were Coke Zero or Sprite, Which is a pretty Big deal since I used to have a soda a day.

2. Drink a gallon of water a day - This is a work in progress! I literally have teeniest tiniest bladder (yay for TMI) so Constantly drinking = me constantly in the bathroom. So whether or not I'm able to drink a whole 128 ounces - I've at least increased my water intake by like 99.9%

3. Do Pilates everyday & 4. Gym 3-4x a week

AGAIN, Totally easier said than done! 

To be honest here, Pilates happens about 4x a week, and gym...That's happening about 2 times a week! I do walk daily, and now that it's warm, we plan to start using our pool :)

5. Drop 10 Pounds! 

Not exactly 10lbs, but I've lost 6lbs and a total of 7inches!

Like I said, this is a work in progress and I'm very proud of myself! 

I will continue with these goals during my June fitness Challenge :)

Motivational Tuesday?

Looking back at pictures motivates me so much and let's me know that I can get back to where I want to be. This is my "skinny". And if I told you how much I weighed here you wouldn't believe it or think it sounded so "skinny". The number on the scale reflects differently on every person, so don't focus on that. Focus on how you look and feel.

Our 2nd Wedding Anniversary

Hubs and I had an AMAZING anniversary! so much fun & romance...and Margaritas! (Can't forget the Margaritas! haha) Thank God for my parents, they took Dev for the night so that Carlos and I would be able to have alone time. Hubs worked the majority of the day, so he got off right in time to drop dev off with my parents and head to dinner. We went to Olive Garden (YUMMY) - had dinner & drinks, then went to see a late showing of Iron Man 3! Let me just say how AMAZINNNNGGGG that movie was!

 And it was pretty sweet because we were the only ones in the theater :)

So enough rambling, here's a sneak peek of our Anniversary! Enjoy!
