Fairy Garden Over the Years

-
One of the things I like most about having this blog for almost 10 years now, is the evolution of the crafts that we do. There are some classics that we do every year, like the fairy garden. Since my first fairy garden post in 2015 we have made one every year. This is what our fairy garden looks like this year (so far) I tend to change it up as the summer progresses. This is the first Fairy Garden we made. Our first attempt at a fairy garden was in a medium plant pot. I like the look of a fairy garden in a plant pot, it looks like its in its own little world. I think I will try another small one this year, I like the simplicity of it.
D IY Fairy House we made this Fairy House out of a small plant pot for our first fairy garden. 
In my post The More Things Change, the More They Stay the Same I posted this picture of my little fairy garden the first year at our new place. This was the first post I had shared in a while, I had posted only one post per year in 2017,2018 and 2019. In 2020 I decided to start posting again, fittingly I started with a fairy garden, something I had started doing on this blog and I had been doing in the years since my first blog.
Spooky Fairy Garden Houses we made these haunted fairy houses for our Haunted Halloween fairy garden. I started making a haunted fairy garden two years ago. I use a combination of bought decorations and ones that we made ourselves. I will do another post more about our haunted fairy garden in the fall.
Happy crafting and planting!

Pom-pom Yoga Games

There are so many great yoga game ideas for kids out there, this is one that I found that is good for all age groups. The original idea was picking up the pom-poms with your toes only but I found that you can make many variations as you go. Ask the kids for ideas as you're playing as well it's fun to see what they will think of. Toe-ga Empty a bag of pom-poms on the floor. Sit in a circle around the pom-poms. Each player sits back, hands on the floor, knees bent. Place an empty bowl near each player's feet. 123 go, using only their toes each player has to put as many pom-poms in their bowl as they can. Yoga pose pom-pom pick up Empty a bag of pom-poms on the floor. Standing or sitting in a circle choose a yoga pose that everyone can do. While in the pose each player has to place as many pom-poms in their bowls as they can.  Some poses to try: Downward dog, use your hands to pick up the pom-poms.  Tree pose use your toes to pick up the pom-poms.

Time Out

                                                        What I had planned to do this weekend My activity suggestion for this week is to leave the kids at home (under supervision of course, while you’re at it you can leave your spouse there too) and have some alone time.   Real alone time.   Not alone while doing the groceries time, that’s nice but every once in a while we all need some good quality time by ourselves.   I was lucky enough to get two days to myself.   My sister was going out of town and she offered me her apartment.   This was exciting for a number of reasons 1- she lives in the city and I live in the suburbs (there is a Starbucks within walking distance of her place and we don’t have a Starbucks at all where I live, so yay for coffee!) 2- I could have a weekend to myself for free.  All the pieces fell into place and I had a weekend all to myself.   Everyone kept asking what I was going to do and I didn’t want to say nothing so I made a list ·          Do yo
