This week heralded Noah and Ivy’s preschool orientation.
They were so excited!

There is something special about twin love.

She played in the sandpit for the whole of outside play time.

Trying out the drums.

Oh look, it’s the 5am fairy!

Seriously. It’s the 5am fairy.

Actually there were two morning fairies…

Noah hearts Nelson.

Now there are three morning fairies.

Shadow dancing.

The tiniest pixie.

Ivy, are you Tinkerbell?


Who me?

Why, yes,

I am Tink. How did you guess?

Beautiful elfin girl.

The modern ipod fairy.

This is not a morning fairy. A gorgeous angel, even if she doesn’t do the A.M.

The fairies escaped to the garden.

If we opened our minds to enjoyment, we might find tranquil pleasures spread about us on every side. We might live with the angels that visit us on every sunbeam, and sit with the fairies who wait on every flower. ~Samuel Smiles


The fairies went from the world, dear,
Because men’s hearts grew cold:
And only the eyes of children see
What is hidden from the old…
~Kathleen Foyle

And as the seasons come and go, here’s something you might like to know. There are fairies everywhere: under bushes, in the air, playing games just like you play, singing through their busy day. So listen, touch, and look around - in the air and on the ground. And if you watch all nature’s things, you might just see a fairy’s wing. ~Author Unknown


Garden fairies come at dawn,
Bless the flowers then they’re gone.
