Favorites things of 2012

Here are a few of my favorite things from 2012...


1.  The Voice-  I like to watch this show when I remember it is on.  It is a pretty family friendly show until some of the commercials come on.  Darn commercials! 
The Voice - Latest Videos
2.  Our Best Bites-
Every recipe I have tried on both their blog and in their cookbooks have been delicious, easy and made with real ingredients.   I have re-newed and re-checked them out from the library so many times I was starting to feel I had my own copy.  Luckily I got the first cookbook for Christmas.  Yeah!
check out our cookbooks

3.  Savers
Savers - Good deeds. Great deals.
I have never been a big fan of the DI although I know there are good treasures there to be found. I do shop a lot at Kid to Kid for my kids though.
Savers is a very happy medium between the 2 places. In only 2 times of being there (both in December) we have spent over $130. Which in Savers dollars is A LOT of stuff :)


4.  Outliers- One of my favorite books from 2012.  It it  one of those books that I was still thinking about more than 2 weeks later.
Outliers: The Story of Success


5.  Kosher Salt- I know it may seem like a weird thing to like but it really makes a difference on your food and it just makes food taste that much better.

6.  A Fine Frenzy and Plumb-
 new music that I have found on Pandora.  Yeah!!!

Plus for the first time ever I will be posting and sharing my New Year's Resolutions. 
 So drum roll please....

1.  No Carbonated drinks for a year-  this one will be the hardest for me.  I will be relishing every last sip  of my Coke today :)
2.  Write in Journal once a week.  I was tremendously good at this for over 20 years.  Since the twins were born I have lacked.  I want to get back into the habit because there are too many precious moments I don't want to forget. 
3.  Update all four kids baby books.  Well actually mostly Afton and Lilly's.  They need some documentation from the first 4 (almost 5) years of their life. I have all the important info, papers, little booties, hospital bracelets,  drawings, etc. in a big bin and just need go through it and put into baby books.

How is the #1 New Year's Resolution coming? I don't think I could do it...maybe that's why it would be a good resolution. I loved seeing all of your favorite things! I too am a Best Bites fan. When ever I need a recipe, I head to their website first.
