Fairy Festival

May is such a marvelous and enchanting month. Spring is finally here! The beautiful sunshine, blossoming flowers, fresh warm air, healing green all around, baby birds chirping in their nests, all these things and much more bring so much joy to my heart this time of year.

A highlight at the beginning of May is the Fairy Festival at Spoutwood Farm. We had a wonderful time meeting the fairies, catching up with old friends and connecting with new ones. Emma & Alexandra loved having a tea party, going into the fairy forest to make a fairy playground, riding a horse, dancing around the maypole, playing and dancing at the drum circle and meeting Posie the fairy.

There was so much to do there that we are hoping to have more time next year to enjoy more of the Fairy Festival. We left with our hearts glad of having spent such a wonderful family outing.

Tire Sandbox


A friend made one of these for her son and she inspired me to do the same. 
We had an old large tire at the end of our field and we turned it into a sandbox! 
I am so glad that this tire has a new purpose now and the girls absolutely love it. 


and I recently found out that my friend Leah has a blog! check her out: http://www.crunchyfarmbaby.com/

Earth Day Placenta Tree

We planted Alexandra's placenta under a pear tree on Earth Day.
Just like Juan Carlos' grandfather did for each of his six children on their family farm.
We continue the tradition...
