ADD A FAIRY HOUSE TO THE TRAILS
We’d love for you to build a fairy house to add to the magic on the trails. Feel free to do so at any time. Fairy houses must be created with all-natural materials such as sticks, stones, acorns, pine cones, etc. No metal, plastic, or glass is allowed. Glue, adhesive, feathers (natural), paint, and twine is permitted. All houses must be placed near the edge of the trail so that we don’t trample the surrounding natural area. Please email me with any questions heather@lifeandwhim.com.
Believe
When you believe in something bigger than yourself, you can make a bigger impact than you ever thought possible. Belief is what allows you to tap into the curiosity that reveals creativity. It gives you the courage to take risks. It brings you closer to your dreams. We believe in the power of small acts to build a movement, which is why we created the Fairy Trails in the first place. And we believe in the potential of everyone—especially kids—to make a difference in their own unique way, and thereby inspire others to do the same.
