Hey guys! Since it's the new year and all, I'm starting it off with a big change. I switched my blog from Blogger to WordPress. If you are familiar with website design you know what that entails-if you don't and you're like me, here's what you need to know so that you can still keep up with things here on The Winthrop Chronicles:<br />

I'm most excited about my new shop layout. It will be a lot easier for you to purchase items and a lot easier for me to add new items-I have a few things I am working on that I will be debuting in the next few weeks. I'm still getting used to things in WordPress and so hopefully I get it all figured out soon...
As always, thanks for reading and I hope you find the new design more user friendly.

Oh I love how the holidays bring out the sparkle! It's just the perfect time to wear some shimmer. But let's not go overboard people-there is definitely a limit to all the glitter. Just remember the simple touches can go a long way. Above are some of my favorite items with a touch of sliver glitter and below is my favorite item with a touch of gold glitter. This sweater from <a href="http://www.ourworldboutique.com/collections/tops/products/sequins-sleeve-top-ivory">Our World Boutique</a> is so soft and people ask me about it anytime I wear it.<br />

I hope you have a wonderful Christmas! Over the past few weeks we have had several talks with our kids about the reason we celebrate Christmas. I am so grateful for this time to celebrate the birth of our Savior. I have watched this video so many times and LOVE it, it really puts things in to perspective for me.<br />

Ok, so you probably know my obsession with the dollar aisle at Target... well, they have some great things for the holidays. The last time I was there I bought a bunch of stuff and thought it was perfect for some holiday cookies. <span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I bought the little milk bottles, paper straws and plastic plates there. And this is one of my </span>favorite<span style="font-family: inherit;"> cookie recipes.</span></span><br />

Growing up I was never a big fan of the tomato soup/ grilled cheese combo. But my husband loves it so I make it every once in a while. I made a lot of soup recently and usually just freeze the leftovers, but this time I thought it would make a perfect gift for someone so I put it in some little mason jars and added a gift tag. </div>

This is by far my favorite tomato basil soup. It is a replica of <a href="http://cafezupas.com/">Zupa's</a> tomato basil soup (when we went to BYU we went there all the time). You can easily pair the soup with a favorite grilled cheese recipe in a little wax or plastic bag. This is a go to grilled cheese recipe we use all the time.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Tomato Basil Soup</span><br />
(similar to Zupas)<br />
<br />
1 tsp olive oil<br />
1/4 cup apple juice<br />
1/2 medium onion, minced<br />
3 cloves garlic<br />
1/2 red bell pepper, diced<br />
4 cans (14.5 oz each) of diced tomatoes (drained)<br />
1 cup chicken stock<br />
2 1/2 tsp dried basil<br />
1 pint heavy cream<br />
1/4 cup butter<br />
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese<br />
<br />
Directions:<br />
In a big soup pot, heat oil and apple juice over medium heat. Saute onion, garlic and pepper about 8 minutes stirring frequently. Do not let the onions turn brown. Remove from heat. In the same pot add drained canned tomatoes and chicken broth and stir. Use an immersion blender to mix until smooth, or transfer half of the mixture to a blender and puree (make sure the mixture isn't too hot or the lid isn't on too tight or else it might explode if it's too warm in the blender). When fully pureed, pour in to bowl and puree the rest of the mixture. Return both halves to the pot and set on medium to medium high and heat until warm. Add butter, cream and basil and simmer for 5 minutes. Don't boil. Then add mozzarella cheese and stir until melted. This freezes well and is great for leftovers.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Grilled Cheese Sandwiches</span><br />
2 tbls butter<br />
1 tbls olive oil<br />
1/2 onion thinly sliced<br />
8 slices of Italian bread<br />
thinly sliced deli ham<br />
havarti cheese sliced<br />
1 green apple or honey crisp apple thinly sliced<br />
<br />
Directions:<br />
Melt 1 tbls butter with the olive oil in a large skillet over medium low heat. Add the onions and cook. stirring occasionally until soft and caramelized (about 20 mins). Set aside.<br />
<br />
Butter 1 side of each slice of bread. Layer the ingredients on the non butter side of the sandwich: the cheese, ham, onions, apples, and more cheese then top with remaining slice of bread. Place in warm skillet or panini grill to cook. Cook until both sides of the bread are golden brown.<br />
<br />
Makes 4 sandwiches<br />

This year I kept the holiday decor pretty simple. I decorated with a lot of pine branches. Luckily, I have a pine tree in my yard that needed a lot of trimming because our Christmas tree was exactly the right height. It's usually a foot or so too big so I can use all the branches we cut off.<br />

While at Target the other day I saw these peppermint stir sticks. I love peppermint in my hot cocoa so I had to get them. I thought I could take the yumminess to the next level and douse the peppermint in chocolate.<br />

I used a silicone mold I got from <a href="http://www.wholeport.com/">WholePort</a> and simply added some melted chocolate. I let the chocolate sit for about 15 minutes for it to cool down and then stuck the stir sticks in the mold.<br />

I put them in a little plastic gift bag and tied them to a mason jar filled with hot chocolate mix and some marshmallows. They make the perfect little gift for someone who enjoys a little peppermint and added chocolate in their hot chocolate.<br />

<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">I hope you guys had a great weekend. I feel like every weekend in December is packed with fun holiday things to do. This is the last full week before Christmas so it will be a rush to get everything done. But I love this time of year and love being busy with Christmas traditions and activities. Another thing I love is holiday get togethers and parties because it means you can get all dressed up! Today I have a giveaway for you from <a href="http://www.eshakti.com/">eShakti</a> and they have the perfect selection of <a href="http://www.eshakti.com/Products/holiday">holiday attire</a>.

Here is another ornament I made this year. This time I enlisted the kids to help me. I used some clear glass bulbs leftover from ornaments I made a few years ago. All you do is gather up some broken Crayola crayons-never a hard task with toddlers around. I let the kids each pick out the colors they wanted to use and had them take off the paper wrapper on each crayon. Then we broke them in to littler bits (you need about 2-3 crayons total but it can be pieces of lots of crayons). Then put the pieces in a ziplock bag and use your weapon of choice-a rolling pin, meat pounder, etc. Hammer the crayons in to tiny little bits. Then carefully pour the little bits into the bulb. Then use a hair dryer on high heat, and hold it about an inch away from the outside of the bulb and start melting the crayons. Yes, your fingers will get really hot so be careful! I let the kids pick the crayons and smash the crayons, but this part was way to hot for them to be involved. You will find that you just need to hold the hairdryer on one spot for a few seconds and the crayons will start to melt. So then shake it around, and point the hairdryer on a different area of the bulb. And that's it!<br />

I loved doing this craft with the kids. I'm so obsessed with making things perfect sometimes it's hard for me to just let go and let them do whatever they want. And when all was said and done, my husband guessed the boys bulbs correctly but couldn't tell the difference between mine and my three-year-olds... hmmm... I guess my attention to detail doesn't always pay off haha!Sarahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07284427791984563129noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9196406297496483794.post-4887145390574705942014-12-11T10:00:00.000-06:002014-12-11T10:00:06.723-06:00CHALKBOARD ART ORNAMENT<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I love making Christmas ornaments and always try to add a couple new ones to my tree each year. This year, I made these little chalkboard art ornaments. They were pretty quick and so easy to personalize. </div>

I cut some scrap wood about 3 inches x 4 inches and then followed the steps below. I got the chalkboard art from online-there are so many chalkboard quote printables, I just printed out a few on card stock.</div>

Ever since we went to Belgium, anytime I'm at the store and see something that is Belgium chocolate, I just have to buy it! I recently came across these little <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00OSIRGGG/ref=pd_lpo_sbs_dp_ss_3?pf_rd_p=1944687722&pf_rd_s=lpo-top-stripe-1&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=B00HSKRSQO&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=0A5N7R9A21ZF6H2GXYJS">Belgium dark chocolate dessert cups</a>. There is a number of things that you could put in them, but I wanted to make some chocolate mousse-because it's one of my favorite things. However, I wanted to find a mousse recipe without eggs so I used <a href="http://wonkywonderful.com/1/post/2014/01/chocolate-mousse-recipe-egg-free.html">this</a> recipe. Then after the mousse set in the refrigerator for a few hours, I used a piping bag to put it in the little cups. I topped them with crushed peppermint. I think they make the perfect dessert for a holiday gathering or dinner party and they look so fancy even though they only take about a half hour to make and assemble.<br />

The days are numbered to get my holiday gifts wrapped and delivered. I love taking time to wrap presents with a bit more creativity. I don't waste my time doing that for the kids because we all know they wouldn't appreciate it :) This year I used some left over chalkboard paint to personalize my brown paper packages. It's a super simple way to make a gift even more special.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

To make:<br />
1. Wrap your present in brown paper gift wrap<br />
2. Using painter's tape or stickers, create your designs (I also just painted a few strokes on the package for some of them for more of a raw edge)<br />
3. Paint a thin coat of chalkboard paint (mine was just a craft chalkboard paint)<br />
4. When it dries, write your message or design<br />

Then I added some baker's twine and used a mini clothes pin to pin on a little pine branch.</div>

I love wearing my plaid flannel shirts. They are so versatile and are a perfect layer during cooler temps. I paired the same plaid flannel shirt with a few different leather pieces of clothing. I think they are a match made in fall fashion heaven. And I have been wearing this leather skirt I got in Italy any chance I get :) Here are some of my favorite ways to wear one particular plaid shirt with different types of leather.<br />

Ok, I know it's December... but my kids still have some Halloween candy left! As I mentioned before, we donated a lot of our kid's candy to Operation Shoebox-and it's a good thing or else maybe it would have lasted until Easter. I think they just forget about their two little pieces of candy they get to eat each day. I was also left with a lot of candy that I had used when we had our little Halloween Party. For some reason, when I am at the store on any given day, the idea of buying a huge bag of candy to set in a bowl to just munch on is not something I would let my self do. But when it's near Halloween and I'm throwing a party, I go a bit overboard. It's like my one chance I feel okay about buying tons of candy-so I do. And as hoped, I had a lot leftover ;) So I decided to start adding the leftover Halloween candy in to things I bake. I made these Reeses Pieces Brownies and they were so yummy!<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Reeses Pieces Brownies </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Recipe Inspiration {<a href="http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/Best-Cocoa-Brownies-108346">Here</a>}</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
10 tablespoons (1 1/4 sticks) unsalted butter<br />
1 1/4 cups sugar<br />
3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder (natural or Dutch-process I used Ghiradelli)<br />
1/4 teaspoon salt<br />
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract<br />
2 cold large eggs<br />
1/2 cup all-purpose flour<br />
3 tablespoons creamy peanut butter<br />
1/2 cup Reeses Pieces<br />
<br />
To make:<br />
<br />
Preheat the oven to 325°F. Line the bottom and sides of the baking pan with parchment paper or foil.<br />
<br />
Combine the butter, sugar, cocoa, and salt in a medium heatproof bowl and set the bowl in a wide skillet of barely simmering water. Stir from time to time until the butter is melted and the mixture is smooth and hot enough that you want to remove your finger fairly quickly after dipping it in to test. Remove the bowl from the skillet and set aside briefly until the mixture is only warm, not hot.<br />
<br />
Stir in the vanilla with a wooden spoon. Add the eggs one at a time, stirring vigorously after each one. When the batter looks thick, shiny, and well blended, add the flour and stir until you cannot see it any longer, then beat vigorously for 40 strokes with the wooden spoon or a rubber spatula. Stir in half of the Reeses Pieces. Spread evenly in the lined pan. Drop the tablespoons of peanut butter on top of the batter. Use a knife to weave the peanut butter in to the brownies. Sprinkle the rest of the Reeces Pieces on top.<br />
<br />
Bake until a toothpick plunged into the center emerges slightly moist with batter, 25-30 minutes. Let cool completely on a rack.<br />

Today I have a giveaway for the little ones. It's all about the baby shower! First, as a hostess you are always looking for a fun activity for the guests, well, my sister-in-law makes adorable burp clothes that can be decorated and then gifted to the mom-to-be. When baby shower guests arrive, they can take a little burp cloth and some of the fabric markers provided and write a little note or message to the little one. Then at the end of the shower, the mom has a little supply of burp clothes to take home each with a sweet message from her friends and family. Anna at <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/SweetBundle?ref=l2-shopheader-name">Sweet Bundle</a> is offering one of you a Burp Cloth Decorating Kit which includes 10 beautifully handmade burp cloths, 10 fabric markers, ribbon and fabric glue!<br />

And I am throwing in a Baby Stats Subway Art for the little one. It's the perfect way to remember all of those important baby stats. In addition to the Burp Cloth Decorating Kit, one of you will also win a <a href="http://thewinthropchronicles.blogspot.com/p/shop-baby-stats-subway-art-pre-order.html">Baby Stats Subway Art pre-order</a>. That means you can still give someone a Baby Stats Subway Art even before you have all of those necessary stats. Just print out the gift card and then when the baby is born, the mom can email me and the baby's gift (from you) will be on its way.<br />

I love love love decorating my walls. There are so many options to make your walls look beautiful other than just paint. Today's giveaway comes from <a href="http://wallsneedlove.com/">Walls Need Love</a>. They sell beautiful vinyl decals. I have been wanting some gold circles to use in my daughter's room for a while. She has a lot of gold accents so, the little circles were a perfect addition.<br />

I also used some of the vinyl circles to spruce up a picture frame. Really you can use them anywhere! They were so easy to apply, just like a normal sticker. But they stay on really well, so I won't have to worry about her peeling them off!<br />

They are such a fun accent for any room. There are so many stickers to choose from and I love that you can create a pattern how ever you want. And it is so much cheaper than buying some paint or other wall art!<br />

Don't worry I am not giving away new hair or new teeth... but I did recently get my hair chopped. When I was in college and worked as a TV anchor and reporter I decided to cut my hair really short to get the news anchor bob as they say. I kept my hair short while working at NBC after college and once I stopped working I stopped cutting my hair. Then about 3-4 years ago I donated it to <a href="http://www.locksoflove.org/">Locks of Love</a>. My husband was always donating blood and that made me queasy just thinking about it so I decided even though I can't donate my blood, I could donate my hair. So I let it grow out again for the past 3-4 years and donated it again. This time I donated it to <a href="http://www.childrenwithhairloss.us/">Children With Hair Loss</a> in Michigan because they were okay with my highlighted hair. So I sent off my 10 inches of hair and now have a little news anchor bob again-just now I am not working as a news anchor ;)</div>

Now to the giveaway! <a href="http://www.smilebrilliant.com/">Smile Brilliant</a> contacted me a few weeks ago and asked if I would like to host a giveaway for them and review their teeth whitening system. I said of course because who wouldn't want whiter teeth right?! Let me tell you how it works. They send you a kit and you make molds of your upper and lower teeth. Then send it back (with a prepaid envelope-just stick it in the mailbox). And in about a week or so they will send you fitted whitening trays. These trays are fitted so well and are so much less noticeable than other whitening trays I have had. Just use the whitening gel provided for 5-7 days for 1 to 3 hours per day. Then use them as needed after that. I also got some desensitizing gel to use after each whitening session because I have really sensitive teeth. It worked great I saw no added sensitivity and it even helped to lessen the sensitivity I normally have. I didn't use all the gel they gave me but you can store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 years!<br />
