You Capture – Feeling like Fall

I am just ITCHING for the leaves to change. We are starting to see hints of red, but nothing major yet. So how else do I see signs of fall?
It’s in the fall wreath and porch decorations that went up last weekend.

And the glass of water on the kitchen window sill full of [...]

Calling in reinforcements

Every once in a while, I go through a bit of a blogging slump.
There just doesn’t seem to be much going on, and I don’t feel I write well enough to turn the daily mundane into the readable love story to life that some bloggers are able to.
I stand in awe of writers like Stephanie [...]

On the horizon

I have not worked outside the home since before Jake was born.  I have a vague memory of working while I was pregnant with him, so that puts my last job about 7 years ago.
It’s always been in the game plan that I would return back to work once both kids were in school full [...]

You Capture – Happiness

For them, happiness is going down the slide. For me, it’s checking out Emma’s hair at the bottom.

For all of us, it’s taking fall walks after dinner. For me, it’s capturing Dave’s actual smile (no matter how blurry) instead of the goofy faces he usually makes when the camera comes out.

Fall Into Reading 2009

Katrina at Callapidder Days is once again hosting Fall Into Reading.
It’s a no-pressure, no-stress way to get people to put down the remote, step away from the screen, and open up a book.
I plan on participating this time around, and hopefully I will have a bit more success than I did with the Spring Reading [...]

(Nearly) Daily Medicine

I’m a very big fan of sleeping, even if I’m not so good at actually going to bed at a decent hour.  I’ve always been a night owl, staying up far later than was probably healthy.
I still do it today, even knowing that I have wee ones that are counting on me in the morning.  [...]

Fitness Fridays

Well, 5k #2 is officially in the bag.  My official time was 35:25…meaning I missed my personal goal by 25 stinkin’ seconds.
TWENTY-FIVE SECONDS!
I was a little disappointed in myself, but hey.  What’re you gonna do?
I’m still not entirely sure I consider myself a runner.  Case in point: I haven’t run since the race last Saturday.  [...]

You Capture – Macro

I love macro shots.  I would love to get a macro lens.
I would also love someone else to pay for it.
Until then, I will just keep moving my camera back when it tells me I’m too close and then cropping to my hearts content!
