What Do People Have To Say About My Organization Course?
“This course was instrumental in helping me organize my space as well as my time. As a busy mom, I have a better grasp on what my days need to include so that I can enjoy my family rather than spend my time spinning my wheels cleaning up after everyone.”
“The Balanced Home Course helped me to be the “professional organizer” for my family! Simple steps to follow, check lists, printable labels, suggestions and worksheets will keep you on track to successfully maintain your own balanced home.”
“I am pretty sure I have solved more issues with the seven layers and clarity tool than I have in 6 months of therapy!! I think this course is going to help much more than my home. Thanks Amy!!!!”
When I realized I had been overcomplicating the idea of organization, that simplifying was a key component, then things really started to fall into place!”

Awesome! This goes perfect with the peach cobbler recipe I just posted over at my blog.
http://favorswithlove.blogspot.com/2009/09/i-peach-cobbler-recipe.html
Thank you for sharing! Great photos BTW.
They look gorgeous. Even only for the colours alone it would be nice to make them and place them on a shelve :-)
Thanks for the instructions. Now if I can only find some good ripe peaches. Have a blessed day!!
I too just found your blog last week and I've visited everyday since! Your photography is awesome and I love seeing what you are up to!! Can you share some photography tips with us? I would love to know how your pictures turn out so gorgeous….magazine quality! I love your blog!
I'm the Mom of these three incredible daughters. What a great way to spend an afternoon. Even I am impressed with the results. Amassing pictures.
That's funny, I just got done canning peaches on Monday for the first time with my sister and my Mom as well. Good times.
Those look amazing. Off the subject, I was wondering if you have a system for paying/storing bills? I would love to get some ideas of how to do that better. If that is too personal or you don't have any tips, that's fine, I was just curious. Love your blog!!
What type of camera do you have? Do you use a special lense? I canned peaches last night!
Ugh! I bet those are yummy Utah peaches too! I am so jealous! I need to make some canning friends when I get to Texas!!
Those peaches are so beautiful, and you are right the best thing is seeing them on the shelf!
I just love the quality of your photos.
I have a great peach pie filling recipe that I posted a while back. Check it out if you get a second. http://gardner-family-times.blogspot.com/2009/08/harvest-time-is-here.html
Thanks for the wonderful memories. It's been a while since I canned anything. I remember my mom and I doing the same thing with peaches. YUM!
We just did this a couple weeks ago!
I've always wanted to try this, now I have no excuse not to! Thanks for sharing!
Hi there, I just discovered your blog and I must say, your pictures are BEAUTIFUL! May I ask what kind of camera you use? (saw the other comment, guess I'm not alonge!) I'm in desperate need of a new one for my craft blog and pictures of the kiddo. Thanks so much!
I am canning peaches in the morning! My husband is talking me into it and my kids love them(a neighbor gave us a bottle that she just canned). I haven't been a big canner til now and am loving the accomplished feeling you get when you are done (the results are usually very yummy too)
I was just wondering, how many quarts does the syrup do?
Thanks for sharing, I agreed only after seeing how easy it looked on your blog. Step by step instruction….thanks!!!!
I'm so glad I found your site 2 weeks ago. I have now canned a table full of peaches, pears, apple pie filling, and applesauce. I can't wait for next summer so I can do it all over again!!! Your beautiful pictures inspired me and your directions sustained me. :)
The peaches look lovely and seems so easy to do. I'm going to try your recipe! Thanks.
Yes to all of the previous comments! Great pictures, great blog! Have you experimented canning peaches, apricots etc with either pear juice, water or stevia instead of all that sugar?
i have for the first time grown peaches on my allotment and im going to bottle the harvest, im a bit concerned about problems with boiling the jars containing the peaches after the bottleing process { worried they might break] is it absolutely nesesary to boil the jars at this stage or is it sufficiant to have them stand in boiling water for the required time, i would be gratefull for any advice.
Hi! I have a quick question. I just made these and my jars have a lot of white bubbles in them. Is this normal? Will they dissipate, or did I do something wrong?
Sometimes bubbles happen. It should not be a big deal if the lids are sealed properly. I think the peaches tend to get more bubbles in them since they have the large u shape in them and can trap air easily. Next time you could try to use a butter knife to try and get more of the air out before sealing.
Hi I was wondering how long would the peaches last? What’s the expiration date?
They should last a few years if keep in a cool place and they have been sealed properly.
Looks lovely! However, I would highly recommend skipping the metal butter knife and switch to plastic, silicone or wood. Personally, I use a chopstick and that works great. The metal on glass, especially hot glass, can leave minute scratches on the inside of the jar. Over time, and after multiple re-uses, I wouldn’t be surprised if one of those jars broke mid-processing. Plus, those scratches are breeding grounds for bacteria. Just a thought!
Great tip Christina! I will for sure make that a part of our process!
How many peaches is this recipe for?
