piña pequena // the cashier, the bagger, and lady in line two behind me (dude behind me had no interest whatsoever), all smiled and oohhd and aahhd over how cute this little pineapple is. And when they gasped at the $3.99 price, I told them I was going to take pictures of it. Not sure they got it ;) It's also on my table as a sweet + simple centerpiece because it's not big enough to hollow out and put a cocktail in, despite it's name, "cocktail pineapple"...just sayin' #🍍#my_365_begins_with_p

Wander by the Sea should you ever want to find me 💦 ~where I stand~ #cmglimpse // (but not currently) I'm sitting on my couch with a fan on me cuz I'm too cheap to run our air. It's 90 here. So much for Fall 😝

"She said she usually cried at least once each day not because she was sad, but because the world was so beautiful and life was so short" ~ Brian Andreas // saw this quote written with the chalk art @brandymelvilleusa last week when I was buying a gift.

And I owe two talented ladies, @withtheclickofabutton + @andrea_murry one #fromthecuttingroomfloor - A pretty sunset silhouette of Miss M ✨💙 @hollyberfield @cburtonsiller @homemadeinchina Have one to share? #my_365_pretty

T o n I g h t // If I could, I'd do this every night. Quick trip to the beach post school and practice. We swam, watched the sunset, played in the tide pools and grabbed some tacos on the way home. Perfect way to end September ✨💙 #instaprompt @thealbumsco #my_365_first #cmglimpse {after dark} (at La Jolla Marine Street Beach)

I was going to post my feet (again) with the glorious sea beneath them, but I give you half my face instead, and a quote I've had tucked away for awhile. I love it. Every girl should read it. || "You are not your bra size, nor are you the width of your waist, nor are you the slenderness of your calves. You are not your hair color, your skin color, nor are you a shade of lipstick. Your shoe size is of no consequence. You are not defined by the amount of attention you get from males, females, or any combination thereof. You are not the number of sit-ups you can do, nor are you the number of calories in a day. You are not your mustache. You are not the hair on your legs. You are not a little red dress. You are no amalgam of these things. You are the content of your character. You are the ambitions that drive you. You are the goals that you set. You are the things that you laugh at and the words that you say. You are the thoughts you think and the things you wonder. You are beautiful and desirable not for the clique you attend, but for the spark of life within you that compels you to make your life a full and meaningful one. You are beautiful not for the shape of the vessel, but for the volume of the soul it carries." - author unknown || #my_365_me #akinwomen

In my backseat, after school pick-up ❤🐶 || He looks so sad when I don't take him. Funny Rudy story: One time I dropped my daughter off outside her music class with Rudy in the front seat. His window was all the way down. As I was watching her walk and step inside, goofball jumped through the window and followed her. When I quickly got out of the car, screaming his name, I found him running around all over the store. He even went up to a lady sitting at her desk behind the register. People were looking at me like wth?, my daughter included. It was the funniest dern thing. He's too old to jump out of windows now, but that memory still makes me giggle. ~in your backseat~ #cmglimpse

one #fromthecuttingroomfloor for the lovely @angmthompson and since yesterday was #nationaldaughterday I'll tag that too ;) Miss M on our last beach day before school started. It was just she and I since brother had already started. We are both water signs and share a deep love for the ocean. So grateful for our precious bond. Being her mother is not a job, it is a gift ❤️ @usmile7 @maliagolden @for_the_love_of_it_all Have one to share? No pressure!
