Help! I am blowing through books on my new Nook. I would love some book suggestions!
I am also curious about magazine subscriptions with Nook. I love my magazines, and I am just not sure if I think it will be as fun on the Nook? Any feedback is appreciated!
Hope all of you are well and having a great start to the new year! I am doing great so far with my "New Year's Choices!"
All about this Quirky life!

New Year's Choices
I realize we are almost 3 weeks in, but I wanted to share this.
I decided this year to make some New Year "choices" instead of resolutions. My track record with resolutions has been spotty, so I thought it might just be the word itself. Logical, right?
Some of these will seem super silly to you all. I have actually printed myself a list of some of them and put them in my purse. Just for a little extra reminder!
1. Smile and laugh more.
2. Be the best mother I can be.
3. Become a better friend. This year I have been so focused on Cohen that I have neglected some friendships. Especially friends that live far from me. I am already working on this!
4. Of course....eat healthier and take better care of myself and my family! (I am off to a good start. YAY!)
5. Be slower to judge and faster to forgive.
6. Find beauty and happiness in small things.
2010 was a challenging year for me and my family. I am thankful for all the joy and triumphs it brought, but happy to see 2011 here for a while! Can't wait to see what she brings!!!!!
Happy Choices to you!

Yes, I am spoiled.
I am the first to admit it. I am a teensy, tiny bit spoiled.
Christmas this year was no exception. I got some amazing, unbelievable gifts. One in particular that I am working on for it's own post, from none other than The Warren Fam. It is truly one of the most thoughtful and awesome things ever. (HINT----I am truly, deeply, madly in love with it)
Here are a couple of fun toys from my husband and my mom.
The Nook Color. Totally cool. I have already downloaded and read 5 books. Also, love that I can download books for the kids and it reads the aloud! Ames LOVES it.
From my mom. The Mint robot! Its a hardwood floor cleaner!!! YAY! Our whole house is hardwood and I am so excited to use it! I will letcha know how it works!

December Fun
I am working on a post about all my favorite new products and toys I got for Christmas. The NOOKcolor is rocking my world! I am in love with it!
I also got some amazing products, and I can't wait to show them to you!
For now, we are out of town on vacation. Can you guess where we are?

Christmas at our Quirky House!
I took some pictures of some of our Christmas decorations this year. I am way into it after missing all the festivities last year! We have added some things, and hopefully will add a tree for the boys next year. I am thinking a tractor theme, but will have to see what all sale ornaments I find after Christmas. My photo quality is not great. It is dreary outside and the lighting is less than perfect.
I forgot to go upstairs and take a pic of Calee's tree. Y'all don't tell her.
First up, our master bedroom. We have a turquoise/chocolate theme. I also have a remote on these trees and it it my most favorite thing ever!
Dining room. Green and Brown theme. My mom's creation!
Family/homemade tree---where I put all the gift ornaments from the kids and others. Sorry this pic is so dark.
Christmas cards from family and friends!
Kitchen window and picture frame tree. My favorite tree in the house.
Our Camo stockings. A tribute to my husband!
Living room tree. Westerny themed. Most ornaments from when I lived in Texas.
Elf on a shelf!

A few things about me....
I saw this on a fun blog I read. Thought I would give it a go. It has been brought to my attention that some of you don't know me very well. I think I will do this on my other blog about my baby Cohen!
These are in no order, but I feel the need to number them.
1. I don't sleep well. I am really jealous of those that can lay down and sleep.
