I follow a great Mom blog called I Should Be Folding Laundry where I take comfort in knowing I’m not the only Mom out there who is not perfect.
Each week there is a You Capture assignment. Shooting something quickly really tests your skills as a photographer.
This assignment was to capture Real Life. Where do I start? There are so many examples of real life around my house. I chose this photo to capture my real life today:
Months and Months of magazines that I haven’t even read! I keep saying that I’m going to take a Saturday and spend the day catching up on my reading. That never happens–what happens instead is REAL LIFE. Instead of lounging in the Hammock with my magazines and a glass of tea I am taking children to Girl Scout Events, running errands, cleaning house, doing laundry, and taking photos. My real life doesn’t have time for lazy afternoons for reading. I now accept this as fact. Today these magazines will be recycled.

I love me some Martha Stewart Weddings. I made the boutonnières for my wedding last year out of covered buttons, thanks to Martha. Nice shot!
great shot…if only time stood still.
good luck catching up!
It would be wonderful if time stood still long enough to catch up on the mail/magazine pile
Good luck!
Remember those days (before kids!) when you could peruse through a magazine? Needless to say, I’ve stopped all of my subscriptions. Great capture!
