Do you need 18 minutes of a story that makes you smile the entire time? I'm still smiling ear to ear as I post this. Mysterious fairy houses have been popping up in the Bay area, and this is the story of why.

Listen to: Fairy Houses And A Very Green Waterfall -

Ahoy, San Francisco families on the hunt for free activities! This Tuesday, Union Square transforms into a pirate's paradise where your little buccaneers can set sail without leaving the city - join us!

Our colorful pirate crew will be roaming the square teaching secret parrot-speak, leading sea shanty singalongs, and creating sparkly sea-star wands that capture that famous SF Bay shimmer.

We'll be adventuring all around the square starting at 10am; just follow the sound of little pirates learning to say 'arrr'!

Free fun that beats Karl fog any day. 🏴‍☠️

What non Easter, Easter traditions have you added to your family's basket? I told my kids there are Easter Faeries, and they love absolute chaos. I hid baskets of toys and hid in them in 'crazy' places (attached to the ceiling).

My best was when I asked friends to send pictures of Buzz Lightyear( if they had one) in random places. In SF, in a bathtub, in a desert...etc. I showed my son and I said Buzz was walking to our house.

Eventually, he 'made it', and right before he was found sticking out of a bush, I showed my son photos of him 'walking' down our driveway.

The face painting selection process: where we give children their first experience with decision paralysis. 😂 Twenty options, one tiny face, and approximately 5 minutes of very serious deliberation. Meanwhile, parents get to actually enjoy their coffee while we handle the tough negotiations. 😎

Are you taking a trip with your kids for spring break? Here is a fun hack I use for my own kids so they can pack themselves and save me a lot of time. I made this template and change the header image to match the trip we are taking, and then print it out for each kid.

The coolest part is that they save all the lists in a folder so each trip we take they get to look back at each one (and it helps them remember things they might have forgotten or wanted).

Happy travels! Here is the template: https://www.canva.com/design/DAFVCrMRskw/lVSmWsTilf_uAPpNAFalnA/view?utm_content=DAFVCrMRskw&utm_campaign=designshare&utm_medium=link&utm_source=publishsharelink&mode=preview

One of those inquiries that makes me imagine your actual child at the keyboard. Annnnnd a deep regret that I don't have the budget to make all the characters I've heard children say over the years: Jesus Rice. Pikashoe. Finding Emo.

You have your own tactics on how to spot AI, but faeries have a unique skill to bring to the table: "Yeah, ok cool. But can she put that on while in her car and then do a magic show for 35 children in that? Didn't think so. Definitely AI."

Your Kids Are Invited to Help Train Our New Faeries!

We’re looking for parents to join our list and help us train future children’s entertainers! As part of our performer training program, we need real playdates where our ‘Faerie Academy’ students can watch and learn from experienced performers in action.

Here’s how it works:

Your children get free entertainment: One of our professional performers will lead 45–60 minutes of fun, engaging activities.

You host the playdate: Invite at least 5 children to join at a local park (or backyard, school, church…we’ll go anywhere!).

Our trainees quietly observe: Our Faerie Academy students will watch from the sidelines to learn how to deliver magical performances.

How to Join the List:

1. Sign up using the link below.

2. We’ll contact you when we’re in a training session.

3. If the date works, you pick the time and place and we’ll bring the fun—completely free.

It’s easy, fun, and gives your children a special playdate experience while helping us train the next generation of magical entertainers.

We can’t wait to bring the magic to your playdate!

Notice the snowman. We didn't have cotton balls when we started this craft. So we asked the kids, "Where in the world did those come from? He's really cute!" Um: "OH! We pulled them off of all the little santa hat ornaments around the office!" 😳

ANYWAY. If you'd like a super easy craft that doesn't require sugar, we put together a how to make cardboard gingerbread houses out of Amazon boxes for you. Just know it may end up with other things that don't belong on it, too. Embrace it.

The quick and dirty how-to:

Flip an Amazon box inside out (hello, perfect gingerbread color!)
Paint edges white for "frosting"
Add cotton balls for snow (too soon, too soon)
Decorate with painted pasta "candies"
Let kids go wild with pipe cleaners, magazine cutouts, and popsicle sticks

Bonus: Stick some LED lights inside for extra magic.

If you want more help, we'll put the full details below.

Part 2 of raising a tiny skeptic. My baking-obsessed 11-year-old daughter just got this text from her grandma:

"Ummm French toast but made with banana bread for Christmas morning...
Just gonna leave this here...
I'll see myself out."

She forwarded it to me, baffled: "Mom, what does this mean? Is this how Gramma normally texts??"

For context, my mom's texts are playful and performative—she's the OG whimsical in our family.

My daughter, on the other hand, prefers her chaos untangled. She doesn't reject magic; she just insists it comes with... instructions. (remember, this is the same girl who needed that full rundown of the tooth fairy's tooth disposal system.)

I translated: "Grandma's excited about banana bread French toast and thinks the idea is self-explanatory...but she wanted to make it fun."

Hazel's response? A text version of a shrug and an eye roll: "Okayyy. Thx."

Sometimes I wonder if she's not rejecting magic, she's just more Mary Poppins than fairy godmother. After all, Mary Poppins measured her magic by the spoonful.

So here she is, trying to keep the family grounded when we're floating up with the bubbles to touch the ceiling. Thx, Haze.

I'll see myself out.

You know how they say your children will grow up to be the opposite of you? I’ve always wondered what the opposite of a faerie mama might be.

My daughter: "Mom, because you are a fairy I have a question. What do you do with the teeth when you're a tooth fairy?"

Me: "Honestly, when I do the tooth fairy job, I don’t remember anything. It’s like I black out. Sorry!"

My daughter: *sighs* "What even is the POINT of the tooth fairy? Like, if she just throws the teeth away, I could do that MYSELF."

Clearly, the opposite of a faerie, is a...skeptic. 😅

Relax. We’ll Keep The Kids Busy.

Parents, you deserve a break. Take one while our entertainers give your children our full attention during an online (live!) playdate.

Or, blow their mind + invite their friends to make it a party! We take care of the virtual invites and the zoom room full of children on the big day.

After shelter-in-place is lifted, our Fairytale Performers can travel to you and provide whimsical activities to fully engage small groups of children. We’ll also help them maintain social distancing by weaving in fun ways to learn ‘bubble space’!
