Living in Florida we tend to miss out on the four seasons. We have fall like weather January-Febraury, summer weather March-October and spring like weather November & December. A little messed up, no?
When it comes to enjoying the different seasons I am forced to do it via decorations. For instance spring has supposedly sprung for most of my FB and Twitter friends but I have gone from wearing a sweater with the heat on to getting a sunburn and having to stay inside with the AC. I'm not complaining though I wouldn't know what to do with cold temperatures for more than a few weeks, I am a Florida girl through and through.
So when Jessica from Mommys Sippy Cup and her partner Kelly from Just the Two of Us asked, what is your favorite thing about spring? {Favorite color? Favorite flower? Favorite place to enjoy? Favorite thing to do outdoors?}. I had to put a Florida spin on it.
My favorite thing about spring is knowing that school is almost over. It's last quarter of school which means the countdown to turning the alarm clock off for 9 weeks is on!
My favorite
My favorite flower is a gerber daisy but with spring comes tulips and since they were my Nannies favorite I love to set those on the island in the kitchen, I just wish they lived a little longer.
My favorite place to enjoy is most defiantly the beach. If I'm lucky enough to have a day with nothing to do I get the girls off to school and sneak away to the best for the day. Just me, a cooler full of water, and a good book!
My favorite thing to do outdoors is go to the beach of course. I know it sounds boring but to me there's no place better than a place where I can have my toes in the water and my ass in the sand! If I'm not at the beach I'm at the softball fiends, I live such a sexy life I tell ya!
This is just one way I bring swing to life. I decorate the tale at the entrance, the table in the family room and the kitchen for each season. The ceramic bunnies and cool blue vases were this year addition, I love setting out seasonal things!

I love that you decorate for every season, even if Florida skips some. We usually skip spring a little bit around here, but not this year. It's been doing the April showers, but a month early. I'm sort of loving it though. It'm going to be uncomfortably hot before you know it.
We've bypassed spring and moved straight into summer here in NC as well, but knowing our luck, it will snow next week! It is always cold on Easter!
Spring usually comes late, but this year it seems to be very early. I'm sure it's just teasing us and we will get snow again, but for now we are enjoying being able to be outside without a heavy coat.
WONDERFUL Post.thanks for share..

We get all the seasons for sure. Our Springs are usually very wet...the old April showers bring May flowers adage. Trouble is we often get a pretty wet May and June too.
I do love Autumn though so I will put up with the rest.
Just reading your post made me feel warm and sunny.
I love your spring display! I still have to do one.
I want to go to the beach with you!
I too am counting down the days to no alarm clock! I hate that obnoxious sucker!
Spring is definitely one of my favorites...it's stormy here today, and we got 4 inches of snow on the first actual day of spring. But this week has been mostly nice.
isn't it strange how the seasons change here we are so different
Yes, the lack of real seasons threw me when we first moved to AZ and now CA is pretty much the same, just not so darn hot. But I still like spring. I have never gone to the beach myself, that sounds wonderful in a lot of ways
When we lived in VA, I loved Spring and Fall they were so beautiful. So full of rich bright colors. And after winter, Spring is amazing! Here in CA there is Spring...provided it rains enough. Hahaha. I love the warm enough weather to open the windows and not need heat or AC. I love the extended daylight hours. And it's just plain brighter in the Spring.
I love those bunnies & that blue... I am loooving blue right now!
Come to Oregon for our Tulip Festival. GORGEOUS!!! :)
Wait...you live in Florida? I'm packing my bags, sister!!! haha ;)
Sorry it's taken so long for me to stop by. Sooooo one of those weeks. Serenity now! haha :)
My favorite thing about Spring in Colorado is watching the trees bud!
I have sand EVERYWHERE in my car from the 2 hours I was at the beach last week.
