SO…truth be told, I took the shots above the morning after the ones below. As in no shower, no make up, puffy eyes…yet, when I had 10 free minutes (forgive me)!!!! BECAUSE…I attempted to take shots the night before, and no go. Honestly, I was just going to scrap the post, but I thought, NO! I thought this might work, and it didn’t. Someone else might think it does. SO…I’m posting anyways.
Then… She suddenly snapped out of her funk and wanted to play! Which…is great, but can you just imagine for a second me climbing down a rocky path to follow her in this outfit??!! With my camera??! The entire time, I thought I was only going to snap a few of just me!
We’ve been to/I’ve talked about this particular beach before. It’s ever changing. People bring things here and there, and it’s always a surprise as to what you will find. She found some dinosaurs this time, and was in heaven. She loooooves dinosaurs!!
Obviously, we leave everything right where it is for the next people to enjoy 🙂
And of course, I brought bubbles. Those are always my fall back 😉 
Because… 🙂
And then.
On me…
I’m kind of obsessed with cropped denim lately, and the more flare I can get the better. These…not as flared as I wanted, but since they are my favorite denim, I’ll wear them no matter what!
I was on the fence on the asymmetrical design of this top. I’m usually all for “out of the ordinary” when it comes to design, and…I’m glad I went for it. Love the sides of this top!
Soooooo, this was one of those days that Maya was NOT in the mood. AT FIRST. I asked her if she wanted to go play somewhere, and she had a most definitive “NO!”
And…. this is what she wore to gymnastics free play. I always let her pick what she wants to wear. At this point, that is the going rule always. But…for free play gymnastics, she has the option of her normal leotard (mandatory for actual class), or tights and a top. Today, she chose ALL PINK. I am really not much of a pink gal, but Maya….she’s ALL IN! I swear, she looks like a Pepto Bismol bottle some days, and…I just let it go. Because, if she’s happy, I’m happy. Which…took a while, and if I’m honest, isn’t completely true haha. 😉 
Her hair too. It was down for gymnastics, and then half way through, she was like…
Oh, and that stamp on her neck? Yeah…they get stamps at the end of class, and Maya always wants them on the back of her neck, forehead, feet, and now…neck. I feel like maybe the fact that I have tattoos might bite me in the ass… ;}
I can’t even tell you how much I love this next image. GAH! She is just too freaking sweet.
Like…this.
And, I’ll just file this look under “things to expect in the teenage years….” 
Classic Maya… 😉 
What you need…
I mean…
Who loves the dough of cookies even more than the actual cookies? We sure do!! I know everyone’s all scared of salmonella, but I grew up eating cookie dough, and I’m just fine. I even remember they used to sell cookie dough cones at Mrs. Fields!! Yup, I used to get them-SO GOOD 🙂 No chance they could do that now!
