Holiday Magic – You Capture

December 23, 2010 by Elaine

I’ve always thought there was a little MAGIC in all things small. Like fairies and leprechauns and well, when I was a little girl, even barbie shoes. Yes I know, I’m weird. I had a “Littles” doll house that I got one Christmas (I don’t think they make Littles anymore and the “baby” of the…

Outside – You Capture

December 16, 2010 by Elaine

I went and did a little shopping tonight. BY MYSELF. Did you catch that? I was ALONE. Now mind you, sometimes I like shopping with the family or even friends but tonight? I NEEDED some “me time”. Like soVERYbad. The last couple of late afternoons/evenings with the kids have been INSANE and I just needed…

SWEET – You Capture

December 9, 2010 by Elaine

Snickerdoodle anyone? I made these SWEET morsels late Tuesday night for a MOMS club meeting on Wednesday morning. Thanks to @poobou and @lovingmom2boys for the idea on twitter (I asked what cookie I could make with “regular” ingredients on the fly and they both answered with “snickerdoodles” within seconds of each other – I love…

Serene – You Capture

November 11, 2010 by Elaine

When I think of the word “serene” I think of still waters. Like a lake, with mountains behind. I also think of quiet and calm. Which, if you’ve been to my little spot here on the interwebby before, (and many of you have) you probably know “quiet and calm” don’t fit into my vocabulary too…

Autumn – You Capture

October 28, 2010 by Elaine

You know there’s a saying that people are “in the Autumn of their lives”… I think it means they are older and nearing the end of their life. Right? Well, it seems to me, as if we are “in the Autumn” of her babyhood”… It’s as if she is a full on toddler already. Thankfully…

You Capture – Orange

October 21, 2010 by Elaine

I love it when the topic for You Capture is a color because then you can photograph ANYTHING as long as it’s that color. And one of my favorite “anything”s is nature. So baby girl and I found some. And I took pictures…

You Capture – Animals

October 14, 2010 by Elaine

When I saw this topic I thought “I could TRY to get some pictures of our hamster.” You know, the one that’s the size of a mouse and runs really bleepin’ fast. Yeah, not happening. So my second thought came to fruition. My kids have A LOT of animals alright. As you can see right…

Things have kinda been all about the littler girl here lately because well, she’s a baby and she just had a birthday. But I have two wonderful boys too and they light up my life like beautiful shining stars. Little G is coming into his own quite a bit these days and since starting his…
