Peanut butter and jelly, chips and salsa, pancakes and syrup…it just goes together. You would never think of separating the two because than you would ruin the experience, and that’s the kind of experience you don’t want to miss out on. The same goes for OREOs and milk, it’s just not the same when they’re not together. OREOs are made for dunking in milk, it’s about more than just the taste, it’s about the experience!

So to add to the experience and get back to dunking those OREOs in milk, we decided to have a little family fun. Anything that allows us to get the family involved is a win in my book! And my kids aren’t arguing when cookies are involved in the fun.

So to add a fun twist on dunking OREOs we created a game: Dunk it! Open it! Eat it! The point of the game is to be the first person to finish all three of the cookies in front of you! If you dunk it too much, it’s going to fall apart. But if you don’t dunk it at all, then you’re missing out on all the fun. If you have to open it, it’s going to take even longer to finish your cookies. There is a perfect ratio to this game, but it’s all by chance and you just have to hope you luck out!

Ready to play the game for yourself, here is what you need:

At your local craft store:

  • Square Foam Board 6×6 or 8×8
  • Arrows
  • Brads

Most of the items you need here will be found in the scrap booking section. They have cardboard arrows that will work if you can’t find what I have. The ones I found already had holes cut out in the center for using in clocks. Perfect for a spinner!

Local SuperValu Store:

  • OREOs (you can try any OREO – original, golden, golden double stuff, and original double stuff).
  • Milk

 

I found my favorite original double stuff OREOs at Shop ‘n Save . They were super easy to find and the store is super easy to navigate. Just follow the signs above the aisle and you’ll find just what you’re looking for.

And this free printable!

  1. Glue your free printable spinner onto the foam board.
  2. Place the arrow on the center of your spinner.
  3. Push the Brad through the center of the poster board. Don’t allow it to go all the way through so that the arrows has a little room so that it spins. Push the sides of the brad down to hold it into place. And that’s it – you’re ready to play!

Make sure each family member has three cookies. Then starting with the first person, spin the arrow and follow the directions on whatever spot the arrow lands on. Remember, you can’t eat the cookie unless you land on the space labeled “eat it!” The first person who is able to finish their stack of cookies wins!

It’s all about how you dunk! And the best way to do so is making memories around the table with your family. So won’t you join me in the OREO dunking contest and show me how you dunk? Whether you try out this game with your family or come up with another creative way to dunk, you’ll be sure to have quite the experience!

You deserve to exist, with the same grace and love You deserve to exist, with the same grace and love that you so freely give to your family. It’s not just about holding space for them; it’s about holding space for you, too.

You don’t have to shrink yourself to make room for others.

You deserve to take up space too.
Sometimes, the habits that helped us survive becom Sometimes, the habits that helped us survive become the hardest to unlearn. Those patterns once kept you safe, but now you’re learning they don’t need to anymore. 

Give yourself grace—you’re unlearning survival. Healing takes time, and with each layer you peel back, you’re discovering the person you’ve always been beneath the survival.

And if you’re anything like me, you’ll really learn to love her. ❤️
✨ NEW SEASON ✨ I’m not a big fan of change. ✨ NEW SEASON ✨

I’m not a big fan of change. My nervous system gets all panicky and tends to over research every possibility that could take place. It likes to tell me safety is in the details. 

But I know that’s not true.

This year has been a big year of growth for me in this department. Trauma told me control was my safety, but the truth was all I ever had was a false sense of control. 

This year has offered plenty of opportunities for me to say, “Okay God, you have my yes, wherever that leads.”

No over research. No over analyzing. No predicting every possibility. No trying to control the outcome.

Just a heart that says, “Yes.” 

Even when I don’t understand. Even when I’m nervous how it will turn out. Even when it feels like right now isn’t bad. Even when my heart’s confused. 

Even when….

God has been asking us both a lot lately, “Do I have your yes, no matter what that looks like?” Friday was the end of a season for Chad working at the Appliance Guys, and today starts a new season of a new company. It was NOT an easy decision, and it came with a lot of tears (mainly from me - are you surprised?). His boss, where he’s been for the last almost six years, has been an incredible support for our family as we walked through some of the hardest seasons of our family. They will always hold a special place in our heart.

But God said “it’s time” and my faith-filled husband said “Yes.” I have to admit, I don’t envy how hard this decision was for him. It affects us both, yes. But he had to walk it out. And I’m so grateful for His leadership and faith to Jesus to step into the next season when there are so many unknowns.

Sometimes, all God wants to know is does He have our “YES” no matter what that means. No matter what that changes. 

May I live my life in a way that has an open heart to hear from God and a willingness to say “YES” even when….

(PS he was so thrilled I made him take this photo. 😂 But I know this season will be one we forever ever want to remember, because God always shows His faithfulness).
I wonder if they would have chosen life for her. I wonder if they would have chosen life for her.

I wonder if they would have seen what was growing inside of her, and the fight that was about to come on the other side, if they would have said her life was worth saving.

I wonder if they would have discounted her before she had a chance. 

I wonder if they would have made a prediction about her quality of life and deemed her not worth the cost.

I wonder if they would have saw the life saving measures she would need and decided that it was worse to let her live.

I wonder if they would have saw everything that could go wrong, the bleak prognosis, and compared her to statistics. 

I wonder if they would have made a choice to encourage a decision that robbed us all of the miracle we see today.

Whether 48 hours or 4 years - her life has changed mine for the better. It’s heartbreaking to think someone may have once told me she wasn’t worth it.
