homemade Oreo goodness

 

Last week I made these delicious Homemade OREOS for a cookie exchange party with friends. I was inspired by this post I saw ages ago and I was really excited to have a great reason to make them.

I made two batches (third container of cookies not pictured). I brought most to the cookie party and wrapped the extras up to give to three other friends as a surprise ;) They were such a hit and so good.

Don't wait! Go make these cookies now and share them with your friends. You will be glad you did.

Welcome

When I was younger we used to sing the Magic Penny song. I really loved this song and still do.
It has easy lyrics, a good pace, upbeat tempo, and hand gestures to go along with the words.

Here are the lyrics:

Love is something if you give it away,
Give it away, give it away.
Love is something if you give it away,
You end up having more.

It's just like a magic penny,
Hold it tight and you won't have any.
Lend it, spend it, and you'll have so many
They'll roll all over the floor.

The image of pennies rolling all over the floor always makes me smile :) and i like the idea that one magic penny can become an abundance of pennies.
Unfortunately, it is too easy to get caught up in our own problems and be selfish with our time and resources.
I'd like to focus more on giving and gratitude. Even if all I have to give is something as small as a penny.... it could be a penny that a family member, friend, or stranger really needs.
