Fairy Friends

You know what was probably the last thing I needed--- another "something" on my to do list for the evening hours of each day. It seems as if there are always more and more things that are clamoring their way into the few fleeting moments that there are in the evening once the kids are in bed. But I fell victim to the cuteness of something called the "Little Fairy Door" for the girls for Christmas this year.  As we were just reveling in the elimination of the elf's antics each night, now there is something new for me to remember and plan for. And yet another reason to make a new Pinterest board where I can keep whole bunches of ideas that I steal from people who are far more creative than I am. 

Those little, tiny, adorable doors that you see are the magic portal through which fairies can enter your home.  And once you invite them in, all manner of magic can happen. The fairies can leave little miniature notes and sometimes even small treats for good little girls. 

Lauren and Mara absolutely love this. They have been leaving notes and pictures for their fairies and have been inclined to jump out of bed to see if something awaits them.  They both said they have always believed that fairies are real but now they have proof. I love the innocence and the imagination that they're enjoying if only for a little while. Before long, life and all of its heavy things will be theirs to bear. But not for now. For now they can dream of fairy wings flapping against their cheeks as they sleep, magic worlds that they can envision in their own little minds, places where tiny little fairies come to visit. 

Now...off to Pinterest to figure out what these fairies should think of next.
