I know what you’re thinking. You’re thinking I’m psychic, aren’t you? Don’t deny it, it only makes sense.
I mean, two weeks ago, I chose “cold” as the theme for You Capture. What happens? EXTREME COLD GRIPS THE NATION.
Last week, I chose “warmth.” What happens? I major warm up, fifty degrees warmer than the temperatures we saw last week, the snow is melting and you’re welcome.
Naturally it only makes sense for me to keep my streak going, so this week’s You Capture theme is going to be either “Cruise ships.” or “Johnny Depp without a shirt on.”
You choose.
I KID. I KID. (but if you do catch a photo of Johnny Depp without a shirt on…YOU WIN.
I was hoping to capture warmth simply by taking photos of the atmosphere in our home, the cozy nights when we are actually all sitting, or photos of the kids playing together but basically those moments did not exist this week because first, I’ve been sick since last Thursday and also because I’m incapable of not over-scheduling our lives.
So, what does that leave you with? Coffee and candles. Warm and warm. I try to light a candle a few days a week, it’s my special treat when I’m working at home. This is my current favorite, Sweet Vanilla Cinnamon from Anthropologie.

And coffee. Oh, coffee, I can’t live without you. You are the wind beneath my wings. You are the apple of my eye. We will be together through thick and thin and I will never leave you.

Oohh is that a new birthday cup I spot – very pretty!
Ah yes, good coffee, I have finally found a local coffee roaster and my first delivery is due today, I am looking forward to trying some really good coffee!
As for Johnny Depp, if I did catch him shirtless I doubt I’d get a good photo, my hands would be shaking far too much, that is of course if I didn’t just collapse in a swooning heap at his feet. Sigh……
Dude, I am all over the Johnny Depp assignment. Brilliant.
Love your shots — especially that beautiful coffee mug. I’m a huge Anthropologie fan, so it’s fun to see your treasures!
Love the shot of your candle. And, thank you SO much for the warmer temperatures this week! If you could keep that topic going until spring is really here, I would greatly appreciate it!
I love you mug, it’s so cute!
Mmm…Johnny Depp. <3 Just seeing that Anthropologie candle makes me miss having a scented candle in the house! Btw, I hope Eli is recovering well from his surgery!
I took a picture of my coffee cup, but um, well, that isn’t exactly how mine turned out.
I vote for you picking the theme “sunny caribbean vacation with nanny service provided.” ‘Cause why stop when you are on a roll? And if I had nanny service and all who knows what kind of pictures I could get!
Thanks so much for the warm weather…just ask for it to stay that way now…haha!
Great captures…looking forward to next week!
That Coffee mug is so cute!!!
Have a nice week!!!
Love your coffee mug!
There’s so many great submissions! I’ve got a round-up of faves going up at 4:00 today, check it out folks!
loving the coffee cup! i hear you — it’s often the absolute love of my life! enjoy the warmer days!
Hey, don’t go little with your predictions, how about pictures with 1 million dollars, because then we will all get it right?
Love the focus on the coffee picture
Thanks for the up close and personal shot of the coffee cup- was it one of the birthday treats, me thinks?! An hey- I agree with the crowd- don’t mock your super hero skills, but remember to only use your powers for good
Oh I do love me some coffee too! Your cup is adorable. I joined up a little late – gotta get used to the new schedule!
Love that coffee cup! And hope you’re feeling much better!!
I’m playing hookie this week…but I’m hoping things that start with L will be my ticket back to YouCapture motivation. I’ve just been swamped with work lately!
I am not taking any chances, please stray from anything themes pertaining to cold …. from now on!
I love the coffee photo, and the anthro cup! Looks like you had a great time shopping there. See you next week!
Funny you’re writing about warmth when I’m freezing my buns off! Send that warm my way, puh-lease! And I feel you on the over-scheduling deal. I stress myself out and I don’t know how to fix it! Ugh.
Oh! YES! COFFEEE!!!!!!
I don’t play along with ‘You Capture’ (crappy camera skills and all), but I did notice next week’s theme, ‘L’ and my first thought was, “Hey, I start with L!” My friend, I share your love for coffee. And I need more. My brain is not working right, and I’ve caught the cold of death from my kids.
