peach cobbler, oh my...

Have you heard? Its one of my favorite deserts. ♥
yes, Peach cobbler. I get the recipe from the Pioneer woman, she's got some pretty good stuff. go check her out.

 K, so you wast alot by peeling them with a knife, so what you do is, Blanch them for exactly 1 minute! no more, no less. trust me, its worth the boil.

 this is where i put them after they were boiled for 1 minute.

 after i cute them in half, not sepereating them yet, i peal i off, then i separated it and get the seed out. you might squish the peach a bit since its all warm and all.

 all cut up.

It looks alot better then the last place. Definitely bigger!

The mirror on the right is where the instructor stands in front. :)


It so fun because there is no levels, you just jump in! 


I've never done it before, i thought it was a wee bit weird, but i love it now that i've tried it! :)

no weird meditation, just yoga. 




I'd show you some pictures but I didn't bring my camera, and i'd rather be doing it, then taking pictures! wouldn't you? maybe sometime i'll have to take a pic or two.

the little things (a guest post by Alexandra Robbin)

Hello, I'm Alexandra. Generally, I'm a very happy, bouncy person. I'm that person who ends up bugging everyone to death with their singing and cheerful disposition. What can I say? I love life and all the pleasures that come with it. I try to appreciate the small things in life, like a small bouquet of wild flowers, there's something about wildflowers that make me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

I love floral patterned sundress (floral patterned anything would do!) they always make me think of springtime.

I love feeling the sunshine seeping through the tree tops and warming my back. Some days I'll sit outside for hours on end just soaking up the sun.

I love going into cute little vintage shops, you never know what you're going to find!

and last but not least, I love weird signs! You'll just be walking down the street feeling glum and you'll suddenly see some sign hanging in a shop window and it will light up your day!

This is just the beginning of a very long list, but I will spare you and stop at five.

What are some of the little things you love?
