Feb. photo a day - day 13

last week was craziness with a sick baby and a cranky 4 year old. we were all fighting off the cold that had taken Samuel to the snotty side so none of us were at our best. many an hour was spent sitting with baby boy which was great for reading books (4 novels in one week!) and browsing pintrest and fb but no so conducive for being creative or taking pictures. but i'm hoping to jump back in this week since i finally saw that bright eyed smile i've been waiting for today.

Day 6 "dinner"
Disclaimer: I am NOT a food stylist, so please excuse the unappetizing photo taken in horrid lighting. It was actually very delicious with Mike and I each eating 2 helpings.

Dinner tonight was cheesy potato soup which originally came from the Farm Chicks cookbook but has been moderately modified by me and corn bread from my momma's recipe. So yummy and perfect for a grey chilly day like today.

Cheesy Potato Soup
3 T. coconut oil
1 large onion, chopped smallish
4 cloves of garlic, pressed through a garlic press
4 C. chicken broth (1 32-oz carton)
5 C. peeled and cubed potatoes (4-5 med. potatoes)
1 heaping t. dried basil
1/2 t. salt
3 T. butter
1/4 t. ground black pepper
1/4C. all-purpose flour
1 1/2 C milk
8 oz. sharp Cheddar cheese, grated ( 2 cups)

Make the soup: Melt the coconut oil in a large stockpot over medium heat. Add the onions and garlic and saute until softened - about 3-4 minutes. Add the broth, potatoes, basil, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil; lower the heat and simmer until the potatoes are tender - about 20 minutes.

Make the cheese sauce: Meanwhile, melt the butter in a medium-sized saucepan over medium-low heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute or until lightly browned and bubbly. Slowly whisk in the milk and cook until thickened - 2-5 minutes. Add the cheese and stir until melted and thoroughly combined. Gradually pour the sauce into the soup and stir until thoroughly blended.

Serve with an additional sprinkle of cheese on top. Some chopped bacon and chives would be entirely delicious as well.

Olivia's baptism

Olivia decided back in October, after watching quite a number of her friends get baptized, that that was something she needed to do as well. We talked with her, explaining why and the what the Bible said about it, and making sure she understood her choice. And she did. She got it. And she was so excited to be baptized. She's been looking forward to it for months.
Reminding me every Sunday to tell Pastor Paul to please do another service so that she could be baptized too and as soon as it was announced,
reminding me to please sign her up.
She couldn't wait.
So this Sunday was the big. Family Service Sunday. Baby Dedication, Covenant Partnership, Communion, and of course, baptism.
She was ready.
What a blessing to see your child come to this choice and make a decision so early in life.
To be excited and eager to jump into a life full of and directed by Christ.
We are so proud of her.
I remember the Sunday we dedicated her, standing on stage, with our tiny 6 week old.
And now she's eight, almost nine, and standing in front of our church telling everyone that she loves Jesus and wants to follow him.
It goes by in a heartbeat.
And it takes your breath away.
God is so good.

Thunder Streak

Thunder Streak is a unicorn pony who appreciates Luna's night.

Thunder Streak was a unicorn pony with great talent but no one seemed to accept Luna's nighttime seriously like he did and often mocked him about it by calling him a "Night Lover".

Becoming Thunderwing

Thunder Streak eventually had enough of being mocked about his love for Luna's night and refused for Luna to lower the moon one faithful day. Luna and Celestia tried to reason with Thunder Streak, but he wouldn't listen, resulting in his bitterness getting the better of him and turning him into Thunderwing, Unicron's most powerful follower. He vowed to make Luna's night last for eternity and all who denied it would plunge into chaos. Celestia and Luna relunctantly used the Elements of Harmony to defeat their enemy and imprisoned him in the moon forever. But little did they know that he was to return a thousand years after his banishment.

Returning to Equestria

He later returned as Thunderwing to finish what he started years back. He returned during the Summer Sun Celebration and announced his plot to make Luna's night last for eternity and all of Equestria would plunge into chaos at the same time.

Defeat and Reformation

He tried to stop the Elements from being used but he was foiled and was defeated and turned back into Thunder Streak. When Princess Luna and Celestia returned and confronted Thunder Streak, they asked him if he would put the past behind him and accept their friendship. He does and they reunite after years of separation. A celebration is held in Ponyville and Thunder Streak is forgiven by its citizens for his actions as Thunderwing.

Nightmare Night

Thunder Streak made his return to Ponyville to replenish his friendship with its citizens on Nightmare Night but the citizens still believed him to be Thunderwing and kept running away from him screaming. Twilight, Optimus, and Princess Luna went to talk to him in the Everfree Forest and found him sitting in front of the Thunderwing statue and nudging a piece of candy towards it.

Princess Twilight Sparkle's Summer Sun Celebration

Thunder Streak

Thunder Streak is a blue unicorn with a lightning bolt cutie mark.

He is a bit like Princess Luna, as he was the only pony who appreciated Luna's night.

editorsThe Editors are back for album number four – it’s called The Weight of Your Love and it’s out July 1st in the U.K. (unconfirmed if U.S. release in 7/2/13).  A video for the first single, “A Ton of Love”, is below.

Now – I’ve enjoyed the bands music more and more as time, and their discography, as evolved.  I have to say I quite like this song, but not because the band has boldly forged in any new direction.

I liked this song back in 1985 when it was called “She Sells Sanctuary”, but the band was called The Cult back in those days. I mean, Billy Duffy should be ringing up the boys in the band any day now to ask when he can expect royalty checks to start pouring in.

Outside of that very visceral surface reference, the song still carries Tom Smith’s rich vocals, but the proclamations of “Desire” do hint heavily at Bono and the bass line definitely sounds like something either Adam Clayton or Mike Mills would’ve cooked up 20-30 years ago.  Perhaps this direction change at an even more crossover sound is something the band’s been building up to and forced the ouster last year of original guitar Chris Urbanowicz.

In any case, it will be interesting to see the overall progression after tasting this first tidbit of new music since 2009’s (wow, has it really been four years?) In The Light and on This Evening.

MAC Paint in Untitled

   Although I've mentioned this in a Basket of Favourites post before, I've decided that this product deserves a little love letter all of it's own.

   I had no idea what the MAC Paints were about until I bought this. There's a lot of hype about the Paint Pots and how great they are at making your eye makeup last all day, and when I went into MAC, I was convinced I was going to leave with one myself. I wanted something neutral with no shimmer in, just a simple, easy base that wasn't going to interfere with the colour I was going to wear, however both Painterly and Soft Ochre were not what I was looking for, with Painterly too pink and Soft Ochre too yellow. Bare Study is a beautiful colour, but has too much shimmer in for something that I wanted to be able to create a matte look with.

   The MAC girl pointed me in the direction of the Paints, saying that she personally preferred them to the Paint Pots and suggested the colour "Untitled", a great neutral colour which is hardly detectable and does not alter the colour of your eyeshadow at all. It does seem to have a teensy amount of shimmer in, which I didn't notice in store, but it is a small amount that just adds a nice sheen. It still looks very natural! It's a liquidy-cream/creamy liquid to powder formula and once it's set, it is set.

Fresh out the tube
   For £14.50, you get a very generous tube, considering the amount you need to dab on is miniscule, so I'm expecting this to last for years! The packaging is also surprisingly resilient for a tube. I was expecting it to get crushed easily and start leaking permanently or to simply explode, however it is absolutely fine, despite spending most of it's time pinned underneath glass foundation bottles in my makeup bag.

WAY too much on my hand...
   I use this every single morning and it makes my eyeshadow last 12 hours easily, from 7am until bed time at around 10 or 11pm. It's just as good for nights out and won't move at all if you're in a hot sweaty club. Even if you're a drunken crier or just have a particularly bad night, you will still have your eyeshadow in place which should help you regain your poise and elegance in no time.

... But blends in nicely for such an overload
   This has given me the confidence to actually wear eyeshadow (I had a brief love affair with blue eyeshadow when I was 11. Simply awful and since then I've sworn off it) as I don't have to worry about it creasing or moving around and having to check it every hour, it is locked in place and looks the same on every mirror check throughout the day! If you're looking for a neutral eyeshadow base then I would wholeheartedly recommend that you give this a go. They have a whole range of pretty colours and they're a lovely formula, are not drying on your skin at all (as I've heard the Paint Pots can be) and they really do anchor your eyeshadow on all day until you take it off.
