And here are some pictures of me practicing yoga-

Pretty similar I know... J/K.

Anyway, I love yoga and love taking classes. However, I haven't loved the classes I've taken since moving here so I don't have a studio that I go to right now. The great thing about yoga though is that you can practice in your living room! There are some great videos out there. For example, Yoga Journal has free video podcasts. In my pictures I was doing the inversion podcast!

After doing just 1 minute of yoga I feel better! My body gets stretched and relaxed and also challenged. It is a crazy combo- I love it.

I've been practicing yoga on and off for about 3 years. I'd love to be able to do the moves in the pics above someday, it's a goal of mine:)

Happy Wednesday and try some yoga!

Chocolate Pie Y'all

Just look at those pictures. This pie looks chocolatey, rich, delicious, and really bad for you right??

Well you'd be right if you thought it looked chocolatey, rich, and delicious but bad for you? The answer is no, it is only 143 calories a slice. How freaking great is that??

This amazing blogger Katie, has a blog where she makes delicious deserts that are low in calories and fat by replacing the bad stuff with healthy things.

This chocolate pie tastes nothing but good. The reason it's only 143 calories a slice (the above pic is the size of a slice, there are about 8 slices per pie, so they are crazy small) is because there is no added sugar, no butter, no eggs.... What in the world is in this pie?? The answer is- cocoa powder, melted semi-sweet chocolate, and tofu. There are a few other ingredients such as salt and vanilla but that's how you get a rich silky chocolatey pie without a ton of bad for you ingredients.

AMAZING if you ask me. I will NEVER tell my husband that it has tofu in it because he thinks tofu is the devil, however, he loooves this pie. It's that good. He never suspects there is anything up with it.

For the recipe go here and you will be sooooo glad you did!

A Little Vermont in our Home- Deal of the Century

Vermont Castings Stove

Ever since Matt and I went to Vermont last winter for vacation, we've kind of been obsessed with the state.

We saw tons of super cute cast iron stoves in Vermont and looked them up when we got home. We discovered the beautiful Vermont Castings stoves but also found out that they are really expensive.We thought it would be great to have one in our home but weren't expecting to get one for many years.

Matt set an alert on his Craigslist app to email him when anybody in our area posted a Vermont Casting stove just in case there was a good deal out there someday. We came across this one on Friday listed for $30. We thought it was miss-labled but no, the seller just wanted to get rid of it and the propane starter on it is broken.

We jumped in the car on Saturday morning to take the seller up on this great deal. Right now it is just sitting in my craft room until we get it fixed and it gets cold enough again to need it. Until then, it is beautiful and reminds me of Vermont <3

Camping in the Living Room

How was your weekend? Saturday night Matt and I pulled the mattress in the living room to sleep in front of the fire. It was so fun! I felt like we were camping (only with a TV- we watched Gold Rush and How to Make it in America!). It snowed a tiny bit last night too so it was extra cozy to "camp" in front of the fire.

I also made a chocolate pie on Friday which is almost all gone now. I'll tell you more about that on Tuesday!

Lastly, we worked on our stairs some more, they still aren't done but we are getting closer!

We also took a trip down to our Airstream on Sunday, it is parked in a storage lot a little ways down the road for right now. Did you know we have an Airstream trailer? I'll tell you more about that later this week too!

Happy weekend wrap up! I'm excited to watch the Super Bowl and Downton Abbey tonight.
