A couple of months ago, my husband and I ventured off to the East Coast for our babymoon and some time away just the two of us (click here to read all about it). Our first stop was Boston where we visited our good friends and enjoyed walking around the city. Most of our time […]

“There are fairies in the sky. All around you, fairies fly. Flit and flutter, tumble, twirl, when the wind blows, fairies swirl…” The above is a cute little excerpt from A Fairy Friend, an enchanting, whimsical book my husband and I recently purchased for our daughter for her birthday.
