A Fairy Princess

Little girls born of princess stock Whisper the words of fairy talk, They simply play and never tire, Always get their heart’s desire: Jingle pockets full of gold, Marry when they’re seven years old.

Every princess gets to keep A gentle pony and two soft sheep; All have castles, each her own, Built on dreams and diamond stones; They live on cookies, dance freely and wild I’d love to be a princess child.

The imagination of a child has the privilege to explore limitless possibilities. They have yet to discover boundaries or rules thus their minds have the power to create a vibrant and playful world. Why must the opportunity to frolic in fantasy be limited to the little princess? Grown-up girls want to play, too! Release your inner child by hosting a fairy princess party. Whether it’s for your daughter, granddaughter, or your girlfriends, the process of creating the party is half of the fun. In this picturesque feature, Tammi Swanson shows us how to let our thoughts run wild…
