So…how did it go? Admittedly, I am fascinated with what you all have captured this week, I can’t wait to see.
I was a little on the boring side. It’s okay, I can admit, but I took so many other photos this week, despite being sick, that I’m not going to get upset with myself about it.
This photo is my kitchen on Saturday morning after I started to feel a little better. This was after I had cleaned for a little while (read: a LONG TIME.) A mama being sick sure does take it’s toll on the house, doesn’t it?
And this was my view a few minutes ago. I have been having some ligament pain, so I’m half laying down and half sitting up, it’s most comfortable sometimes. I had just clicked on Crooked Eyebrow‘s site because she put a picture up that I took of her and this was the photo I took. Crooked Eyebrow’s blog AND my belly!
Your turn. BUT PLEASE…PLEASE… read the directions. Last week there were many people that did not follow the directions and it was not fun for me. Just take a second and read through, please. Thanks!

I had fun looking at my every day life a little differently to post for this week’s challenge. – I love your bump with this one. And I love your kitchen clean or a little messy. Even a lot messy.
Steph
You have such a lovely kitchen! And the baby bump sure is sweet too! I’m really looking forward to visiting everyone this week…thanks for such a great theme!
I love your bump-obstructed view.
I so want your kitchen! Mine is laid out very much like yours (island, oven there, sink to the right). I want your countertops, and your modern cabinets… Sigh.
Love the bump!
i love it, because you, your bump and your computer are all so you. not to mention iy’s my blog in the shot that YOU designed.
love you
First of all YES, you have taken some amazing photos this week. I’m so envious of these ladies, wishing I lived in your ‘hood too so you could take pics of my family, especially the baby…
I hope you all are well. I love the clorox wipes on the counter! HA!
And that belly, well it’s just beautiful!

I love the bump! That is definitely real! We were on vacation this past week, so my real life was more fun than normal!

I love the baby bump, and I love your kitchen.
And now I have Fiddler on the Roof songs stuck in my head. Sunrise, Sunset was one of the songs in my wedding!
I love the bump! And the kitchen.. I want it!
That belly is too cute. And your kitchen looks like the perfect place for a party. Please invite me.
Oh, I am feeling bad for you and your ligament pain right now! I dealt with round ligament pain during my 2nd pregnancy and it was not-so-much-fun. I’m guessing that is what you are dealing with by your mentioning your half sit/half lying down position. I remember it well!
Take good care of yourself, don’t over do it (I know, easier said than done!), and I hope you start feeling better soon!
That baby bump is beautiful!
Hello Beth,
I’m linking here for the first time. I had my post all ready last week and then didn’t link because you all went down with the flu. Because of that I somehow missed the prompt for this week and assumed you’d be carrying over the ‘anything goes’ prompt to this week. So apologies – mine doesn’t really fit with the theme. Will try to do better! In the meantime I do hope you and the family are feeling fully recovered after the flu. Your photo really does speak of the kitchen as the centre of a busy family life. Thanks for hosting.
Janice.
Hi Beth,
I just tried to leave a comment and it didn’t show up. Apologies if this comes through twice. This is my first time linking through to you capture. I had a post all ready to link through last week but because you were ill obviously I couldn’t and so I assumed the ‘anything goes’ prompt from the previousl week would carry forward. So sorry – mine isn’t about my real life – although I do spend a lot of time walking the dog on the beach! Your photo speaks of the kitchen as the centre of a busy family life. I hope you are all fully recovered from the flu.
Janice.
Great pictures as always! I know what you mean about that kitchen mess. Saturdays always bring more mess sick or not because of a different schedule or hubby being home or something!
[...] weeks You Capture challenge was to capture your real life. Check out Beth’s site to see more fantastic [...]
Love the belly
and your kitchen is gorgeous!!
OK. Love the belly!! If you look away from the picture for a sec and then look back to your belly, it looks like your belly is moving. Pretty neat!
I’ve had so much fun reading all these Real Life posts this week – what a great idea! I love your You Capture challenges! Thanks for taking the time to post them each week.
I wish my house was as clean and organized…LOL! The belly picture is priceless!
[...] You Capture: Real Life [...]
I love belly shots like that. That is real life, your perspective, what you see everyday. Love it.
I love the photo of CE so much!!
Wheee!! Your kitchen is WAY cleaner than mine right now … and I’m not pregnant or suffering from ligament pain or anything. I’m just lazy. I LOVE your countertops!
And I love your baby bump. <3
What a beautiful belly.
Fun shot.
Great challenge this week – the hardest part was deciding whether I should capture my mess or the crazies who live in it.
Girl, your kitchen looks immaculate compared to mine!
The kitchen picture is awesome!
Great shots. Love the belly shot.
This is my first time! I followed a link from a blog I follow, The Happy Housewife
Your baby bump picture is so adorable!
I’m loving the view of your belly!
Yes, cleaning hurts and I’m far from pregnant. Wish my kitchen looked like that. Love the belly shot!
Oh what a lovely shot of ur kitchen..are those the sunrays streaming into ur kitchen-maybe the inspiration for this weeks/months theme of u capture-love the idea and ur blog and to be a part of ,am glad.
So i understand this is weekly?by when do we post for the sunset theme?-am just about preparing for the very same.
and where do i sign mr.linky?
so i link this post in my post and my post in mr.linky but how do i get to mr.linky-am not getting thru the instructions but will keep trying.
and yes am so excited about this sunset sunrise challenge so tell me am in please….
Love that belly! I have so many pregger pics from that view! Haha. I have Lysol wipes sitting on my counter too. Can’t imagine my kitchen without them.
I’d really like to join in this, but I’m confused as to how it works? So, a couple of questions.
- You always post this on Wednesday, right? When you say “Next Week: sunrise/sunset” Does that mean that by the next Wednesday we should have the pictures of the sunrise sunset? Or we have until next week to do -this- challenge, and next week will begin the sunrise/sunset?
Apologies if I sound like an airhead. I’m a brunette but you’d never know it. =)
I love the sunlight coming through your kitchen windows! How bright and cheerful! I also love the baby bump. It is so sweet, and yes, so very real. <3
Your kitchen is beautiful! I would half sit and half lay a lot while pregnant…it’s a nice view.
Lovely kitchen! Love the belly.
I hope you are feeling much better and have a great week.

“You Capture” is a lot of fun. Thanks for provding it! I miss my baby bump now. Of course I was more a mountain than a bump!
I love how each person interupts You Capture slightly different.
I know I say this each week, but thank you for opening my eyes to see that beauty outside of the box.
I just found your site and I’m lovin’ the challenge – thanks for hosting – I’ll be back soon!
I LOVE that your kitchen looks like mine after cleaning for a while. No matter how much I clean/tidy the counters, it always ends up looking the same (or worse) in the end. I loved this challenge, and realizing that almost everyone else has a similar “Real Life” to mine.
This challenge made me clean up my act! Seriously! Thanks to you!
Love the pics!
This was my first time joining!
Love the pics! Your kitchen is so ‘normal’.
This is my first time joining.
I’m a little late on this one but once I had the idea for the shot, I knew that I had to wait until the right moment to get it.
I am thankful for this particular theme. I was able to work through and share some of the thoughts going on in my head about working vs. staying at home. Check out my post if you get a chance. It’s my favorite You Capture so far.
Am so sorry beth but have finally figured the mr.linky connection(am embarassed no doubt )and am so sorry in my excitement i linked for this weeks theme(ie 12-18 th nov) but have just linked my blogspot url ,not post …sorry
