A Little Fairy House

 

I love that Rowan believes in fairies. I love that he wonders, and is curious, and that we can have serious conversations about the magic that goes on in our backyard. He wonders if the fairies will scare away the skunk that lives in our bushes, or if they sneak in the house at night or do they like chocolate ice cream. In the evenings, we fill the water bath and talk about how thirsty the fairies must be with all that flying around they do. These will be some of my favorite conversations I have ever had. I need to record them, so I never ever forget.
Here are some scenes from the fairy house we created this week. This is starting to become a bit of a ritual for us. We have just moved into a new house after being in transition for months. Making sure the fairies feel at home in our yard, is becoming the thing that we do that says, “Yes, this is home”.
Fairy House
Cardboard box
Terrarium Moss
Glue
Leaves
Imagination
We cut the box flaps off to create a shadowbox. Smear glue along the inside of the shadow box and line the inside of the box with the moss. This creates a beautiful bed and cavelike little fairy bed. Smear glue on the outside of the box and stick leaves around the outside. Fill your fair house with little woodland creatures, pine cones or anything else you wish or can imagine.

When I was challenged with my own feelings while parenting, I started creating activities that could help kids and parents open up about their emotions. It was so therapeutic and helpful, so I put my feelings activities together into a book. I created the book that I wanted for my own parenting, and I am so thrilled to share it with you.
Vanilla Blueberry Yogurt Pops. I made this recipe this week after posting it in my newsletter and it was so fresh and yummy, so sharing it here! I used to make these yogurt pops all of the time for my son and he would eat them for breakfast. If blueberries are not in season use frozen wild blueberries or whatever frozen fruit you like. They are really easy to make and you can even add some oats if you want to make them even more nutritious for breakfast. ⁠
Try Flower Breathing 🌸 In my last reel, I showed how to make these cardboard Lavender scented flowers. The "pistol" is scented with lavender oil which is a very calming and make it fun. The act of breathing in and out, calms the nervous system and get kids introduced to breath work. Flip through the images and use it as a guide plus one of the images is instructions that you can screen shot. 🌸⁠
