Obsessed with my Nook

If you will recall, I had been straddling the fence about e-readers for a while. Then I decided to take the plunge and request that my parents get me one for Christmas. I settled on the Nook because, well I couldn't really discern any substantial differences between it and a Kindle other than the Nook had much cuter accessories, and you know that was all it took to push me over the edge.

If you will recall, I got this adorable Lilly Pulitzer cover for my Nook...

and I got this bag which is just crying out "Take me to the beach!", but sadly, it's only been to Nocona...

and then I decided that I preferred reading it out of the carrying case more often than not, so I bought a pink back for my nook so that it is no longer grey and boring....

Then today, I discovered these adorable Vera Bradley e-reader cases

(this is one of their new 4 spring 2011 patterns that were released today)

Isn't it so cute? At first I thought, How adorable, too bad I already have a case... Then I thought, But couldn't my Nook have more than one case? Like different outfits? So the Vera Bradley one may go on my wish list.

And just for the record... I LOVE MY NOOK! I have read 7 books since Christmas. I've been reading far too late into the night and I think that it is because of my Nook, so I'll have to work on that once school starts back next week.

Does Vera Bradly hold my friend the Kindle too? Hmmm...I see research in my future!

I love mine too and have read more in the last month than I have in a decade. I need to start finding the "free books"

I need one a nook or kindle- just not sure when I would have time to read if I want to ever sleep again. :) Hope your sinus headache is gone!

Swiss Oatmeal {Copy Cat Recipe}

I'm obsessed with Swiss Oatmeal. I particularly love Corner Bakery's Swiss Oatmeal. If you are not familiar with Swiss Oatmeal, it is a cold oatmeal cereal with fruit and nuts. I've had a similar recipe for years, but it was only similar. It wasn't close enough for my liking. So I finally set out into the land of Pinterest to find a recipe that was a good Copy Cat. I found a few, combined them and came up with what I think is a very close Copy Cat Recipe of Corner Bakery's Swiss Oatmeal. Here's what I do (note, this recipe is really just pictures, because I don't really have measurements for these things. The photos aren't great, but it's easier if I show you what I do)... Here's the Phase 1 ingredients... Milk Honey Yogurt (I use a vanilla greek yogurt) Oats (old fashioned, not quick...you probably could do steel cut too) I've simplified this to where you only need a bowl and a spoon for Phase 1 becau
