Today I created magic, not the sort that would help me fly to far away lands or the kind of magic that can vanquish the villain.<br />
<br />
This kind of magic occurs only when you use your imagination. Today my 6 year old daughter and I <a href="https://www.blogger.com/Want%20to%20create%20a%20little%20spring%20time%20magic?%20Then%20here%20is%20the%20perfect%20craft%20for%20you!%20%20http://www.practicallyperfectprincess.com/2014/03/a-guide-to-creating-magic.html">created a fairy garden</a>.<br />

<br />
Most
everything we used was already in our craft arsenal picked up from
the bargain tubs at either Micheal's or the Dollar Store. We used a
long/rectangular flower pot we already had to house the garden.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
As we built the garden my daughter and I imagined all of the parties and dances that the fairies would have in the garden. We wondered what type of fairies they would be and what kind of magic they would possess. Would their be any tricks performed within the fairy garden? The possibilities for magic were endless.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
As Spring makes it's debut I hope you take the time to create a little magic as well.</div>

With 3 daughters there has been no shortage of tutus running amok in our house. Some of the tutus have almost been worn down to shreds, but these tutus still hold a beloved spot for one reason or another and cannot be disposed of.<br />
<br />
I found some darling ways to re-purpose these tutus into adorable new creations that my girls would love. Check it out!<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
All of them are no sew and don't require much more effort than a few minutes, but are surefire Princess pleasers. Love them! <br />

Now don't get nervous by the title of this post because I'm not leaving my Princess roots. I have been blogging for over 5 years. Wow! I have gathered such great friends and supporters that I couldn't imagine my life without all of you. You each came because my sister and I wrote about a little Princess and then you stayed. Double Wow! We still have plans for our little Practically Perfect Princess so don't worry on that front as well.<br />
<br />
I love Princesses and think there is such importance in making sure all girls know how special they are and that they are one, but there are so many other stories I would like to cover that don't really fit in here so I'm just adding a new facet to the Queen Mommy Jennifer you already know.<br />
<br />
Please come and visit me at my soon to be 2nd home <a href="http://www.jenerallyinformed.com/">JENerally Informed</a> and I will still be here bringing you the Princess.<br />

I love having my children home with me, but bored children make for an unhappy Queen Mommy. So what's a Mommy to do? Well this one went ahead and scoured Pinterest for all the kid friendly and inexpensive crafts and activities I could find. I found this project yesterday via a <a href="http://www.agirlandagluegun.com/2012/04/princess-bags.html">Girl And A Glue Gun</a> and think it is absolutely adorable and wanted to share it with all of you. No sewing cuteness, glue guns, tulle and sparkle- I seriously love this project!<br />

Many of you have noticed as you read Rebekah Grace The Practically Perfect Princess that quite a bit of this first story focuses on Rebekah's family. Queen Mommy Nicki and I are part of a big family and as sisters knew we wanted our children to have close relationships within the family as well. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
In our experience with raising Princesses sometimes our little Princesses had big ideas for how things should happen that didn't necessarily work well for all of the members of the family. We discovered quickly that in order to keep the peace a little re-direction was needed, quite often.</div>

The Practically Prefect Princess is full of these type of interactions with family members. Our hope
was that as you read the book with your little Princess you might find
quite a few similarities in the story to some common situations many families encounter and then be able to discuss them with your Princess.</div>

Here's a picture of the family that inspired our book. We are missing our newest little Princess and one older Prince who was working. Oh, and we included a Fairy Godmother because every family needs one. </div>

Yesterday I sent out my daughter to go and fetch the mail.<br />
<br />
As I stood at the front door waiting for her to come in I<br />
watched as she stopped and looked at a flowering bush in our front yard. Her eyes lit up as she bent to smell the flowers, touch them and generally take in their beauty.<br />
<br />
I was entranced with her ability to stop and literally smell the flowers and take such joy in a small, but beautiful part of her world.<br />
<br />

Children are such a precious and wonderful gift to be treasured. Daily their sweet smiles are a subtle reminder that we too need to take time to stop and smell the flowers.<br />

Her favorite part of the visit is to help scan and check out the books. Often though, the line to check out can be long and having her help would make the other patrons in line wait longer than necessary.<br />
<br />
I decided I could accomplish two goals with one simple activity by creating her own home library. First we could avoid the worst of the afternoon heat and boredom and work on some school skills as well.<br />
<br />
First I created her very own library card. I left the ownership line blank so that she could fill in her own name.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_z5KRcvEQecgUnnNTx-qNE7v58BXCB7ghOQddrQOM285Y7X4HtWuXGF6OCJkn1ZdAs56oUR5IV-Ih-ODHrEXysrEh5vxBIFslJgabZJJWQl96EdaPUpqVSc2baTSlUSshOxCU8vc7q-R2/s1600/LIibrary+card.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_z5KRcvEQecgUnnNTx-qNE7v58BXCB7ghOQddrQOM285Y7X4HtWuXGF6OCJkn1ZdAs56oUR5IV-Ih-ODHrEXysrEh5vxBIFslJgabZJJWQl96EdaPUpqVSc2baTSlUSshOxCU8vc7q-R2/s400/LIibrary+card.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>

Then I created her library collection. I gathered some of her favorite books including the Practically Perfect Princess and lined them up. The great thing is that the collection can always rotate as your little librarian wishes. DVD'd and cd's, and even story time could be added into her library for the day.<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
Lastly, I created her check out system. I used one of our toy registers that talks. I cut up some slips of paper and included a cute princess stamp where she can make check out cards to be given to her patrons.<br />
<br />

My little Princess is so excited to play with this today. Extra bonus is that it is funny to see her elementary aged siblings circling the library with suggestions for it's expansion.<br />

Her younger cousins often beg her to come over and do their hair and make-up for performances and special occasions. Now unfortunately Queen Mommy Jennifer is not especially talented at crafting one of a kind hairdos, but I have found some help from some great online resources. Thank heavens for Pinterest!<br />
<br />
I also recently stumbled on a great online resource for hair tutorials. <a href="http://www.princesshairstyles.com/">The Story Of A Princess And Her Hair</a>. My skills are still limited, but I did create this cute hair bow yesterday.<br />

<br />
<i>"If you have a little princess in your house, this book is not to be
overlooked. The authors do a wonderful job to demonstrate thru their
words that even the practically perfect princess is not perfect. We recommend this book for children 1 to 5 yrs+. "</i><br />
<br />
This is huge and we are so grateful to the amazingly talented ladies over at <a href="http://girliemom.com/">Girliemom</a> for giving The Practically Perfect Princess an opportunity to shine! Queen Mom Jenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04947788522821447557noreply@blogger.com0
