Hi friends.

So, I chose green because for so long, once winter comes, we won’t be seeing too much green and well, that’s just not very nice.

Here’s a sneak peek of the bumper pads in baby girl’s nursery. I found the fabric and fell in love and Erin’s Mom made the bumper pads for me. They are so sweet and perfect and OMG, I’m thinking my grandchildren will have to use them. (I’ll be showing the rest of her nursery next week, once her name is announced!)

Everyday for the past few months, my dear sweet husband has been rubbing my feet before bed. And when he doesn’t, I do it but he doesn’t let that happen too often. I love to use the aromatherapy line at Bath and Body Works, Sleep is my preferred scent, this one is my second favorite.

The weather around here has been gloooooomy. I had gone grocery shopping on Sunday morning and found myself noticing that FALL WAS HERE. (how rude.) I take country roads to and from the store, which makes me love where I live. I captured this and love the way the green accents the gold. I added a perfect PS texture to the image. Almost makes me want to put this on a canvas and hang in my home.

almost, I say.

Fall. Family. Fresh.

Happy Capturing!

(Just a heads up, I’ve decided to take a break from You Capture since, you know, WE ARE HAVING A BABY!  I gave you three topics for you to choose from, or to do all of them and then you’ll report back with your images on October 20th!)

Friends, please don’t be upset with me but I’m not ready to put up You Capture right this very second. I’m thinking maybe around noon time? I’m having trouble balancing everything especially since any energy I’ve had (which was minimal) has been stolen from my body and I can’t find it, yet, I’m still trying to do all of the things I need to do, like WORK (all of the time), so I’m sort of running on borrowed energy.

You Capture will be up in a few hours.

Hi friends!

I hope you had success this week! It’s so important to head out with your camera on a mission, it’s not just good for honing in on your photography skills but it’s also good for your soul to be doing something towards something you’re passionate about!

My kids went back to school about two weeks ago. We are back in the same routine as last year, just trying to work out kinks with new teachers and new ways of doing things.

Mostly having to do with homework:

I tried catching a good photo of the kids before school yesterday, with backpacks and lunch boxes and cute hair but we waited a little bit too long because suddenly we heard the squeaks of the bus, so off they went.

I was so close.

But they’re still cute.

(after this shot, I delighted in the next seven hours of no one asking me to use my iPad, to play the Wii, to go to the neighbor’s house to go to the other neighbor’s house, to have a popsicle, to have a piece of gum …)

Oh and no summer sunsets for me. DANGIT.

Now, it’s your turn to share! Just please read the following guidelines firsts!

Apples.

(this is ridiculously fun for me, the idea of all of us shooting the same thing. BE. CREATIVE.)

I need to take a break from blogging. Even You Capture. I’ll be back next week – next week’s You Capture theme will still be bathrooms but also purple. You can do either one or both.

I know you’ll understand. Thank you for all of your prayers this week. They honestly mean the world to me.

Hi friends!

Eli has an early morning doctor’s appointment on Wednesday so the You Capture post will be up a bit late, probably late morning, early afternoon. I would post it tonight except I haven’t been able to work on it and now I’m too tired because Eli keeps me up ALL NIGHT LONG.

So, blame him.
