This is a painful topic for me considering I do not enjoy winter and also while pregnant walking around in 12 inches of snow is never, ever smart.  So, I got creative.

and took photos while driving, just this morning because the sun was out and it was above freezing for the first time since Christmas Day.  I can’t get over how the cold and I are just not friends.  (Mom, I wasn’t actually driving, I stopped the car and then took the photos, I promise.)

But, on the upside…I do enjoy photographing the snow, that beautiful, diabolical snow.

First, this photo was taken in Wisconsin where the sun was shining the entire time we were there.  Maybe I should be there?

Of course, I was inside looking out.  because…BRRR.

Now onto today’s photos:

and finally, it wouldn’t be a post without me posting a photo of food, am I right or am I right?  So, my wintry comfort food is my world famous Chicken Noodle Soup.  Which isn’t really famous at all, but it is delicious and so easy to make.  I’ll be sharing the recipe with you very, very soon.

That’s it from me, friends!  Now it’s your turn to share!

PLEASE READ THE RULES RIGHT HERE.  I actually had to delete links last week because the links weren’t linked properly and that made me so sad because I love links.  So, read ‘em. K?

Love around your home.

I had this moment the other day, where I was walking around upstairs and looking at things and it took me a second to realize that I often think about how I love certain things.  For instance, my son’s blanket and this particular bird on my shelf and these plates that my sister-in-law bought for me.  There is so much that surrounds me that actually fills me with joy, so I want you to share it with all of us.  What you love, what fills you with joy but remember…GET CREATIVE with your photography.  Try new angles and different perspectives, edit the photos differently, make these everyday items into ART.

You can…I promise you can.

Happy Capturing!

Hi friends.

Wow.  The holidays are over.  How did that happen?  We’ve jumped straight from the holidays into the depths of a cold, snowy winter which is not really all that fun, in case you’re wondering.

But luckily I can reflect on the warmer summer months and the mild spring days to remember that winter is temporary.  Remember, this week’s You Capture is 2009 in review, you can share ANY photos you’ve taken from this past year.  If you’ve never participated in You Capture before, I think this is a great time to start, don’t you think?

This first picture is hysterical because Noah was so excited about getting his DSi.  The only thing he asked for.  I have about 10 hilarious pictures of him from this moment.  I can’t wait to share them with his future wife.

Other faves from the year:

Okay, fine.  I’LL STOP.

Now it’s your turn to share!

Please do not forget to read the rules, k?

Your Winter.

I like this idea because winter is different for so many people across the country, I think sharing what it’s like for each of us is a good idea!  (if I do say so myself!)

Happy Capturing and stay warm!
