Magical May Tea Parties

 

Magical May Tea Parties

May is a perfect time for a tea party and tea parties have become a cherished tradition in our family over the years. Sometimes, we even set a special date, making it a meaningful opportunity to connect and spend quality time together. These tea parties are often a wonderful way for me to bond with my granddaughter, sharing stories and laughter over delicate cups of tea.

When my sweet granddaughter was younger, we used to play tea party with her toys as well-setting up tiny cups, plates, and little treats for her dolls and stuffed animals. It was such a joyful and imaginative way to extend the fun and make the experience even more magical.

Depending on the weather and mood, we either host the tea party outside, surrounded by blooming flowers and the fresh spring air,

 or host a formal tea party indoors with elegant table settings and a refined ambiance. No matter where we gather, one thing is always certain-we enjoy an array of sweet treats and finger foods that made the experience feel truly special.

In addition to our own little gatherings, we also had the delightful experience of attending princess tea parties. These events are magical, filled with whimsy and enchantment, making the tradition even more memorable and fun for both of us. Dressing up, sipping tea, and feeling like royalty added a unique charm that we still fondly remember.

Now that I’m older, my appreciation for tea has deepened even more. I especially enjoy drinking passionflower tea, which has become a favorite of mine because it helps soothe my nerve pain. This calming tea not only brings comfort but also reminds me of those peaceful moments spent with my granddaughter, making each cup feel like a small celebration of connection, healing, and tradition.

Reflecting on childhood dream of being a Ninja! LOL!

  Ninja, is what I want to be when I grow up! LOL!  "What do you want to be when you grow up Belle?" I had always wanted to be a Mom, but for some reason that wasn't an acceptable answer to the above question at school. It should of been. But that's another post.  So, since being a mom wasn't acceptable to teachers, I would always say a Ninja. For several years I had a black Ninja costume that I would wear for Halloween! Eventually the costume didn't fit right anymore! I would tell people as a child I wanted to be Ninja because I wanted to somehow fight for Justice, similar to a superhero and ninja legends are all I knew.  My memories of being a Ninja resurfaced as my granddaughter ends her year at  taekwondo. Great Job! on your Belt Test Olive!!!! My husband, Son and Daughter all took taekwondo lessons at some point in their lives! Wow, I can't believe my granddaughter enjoys taekwondo. Great Job!

The Heartbreaking Ripple Effects of Divorce: A Grandmother's Plea

  The Heartbreaking Ripple Effects of Divorce: A Grandmother's Plea Life's fragility struck me recently - both through my own health challenges and by witnessing Jay Leno's remarkable resilience after his recent fall. Like Jay Leno, who returned to work swiftly despite injury, I'm learning to move forward with determination, understanding that adversity doesn't define us, but how we respond to it does. As Thanksgiving approaches, a deeper pain weighs on my heart - the silent epidemic of divorce that tears families apart more thoroughly than any physical ailment. This week, in a crowded waiting room, I discovered I wasn't alone. Surrounded by fellow grandparents, aunts, and cousins, we shared stories that echoed with haunting similarity - tales of alienation, false accusations, and heartbreaking separations. Bonding over vibrant hair and endless laughter 💜 My granddaughter Olive has become the unwitting victim of this familial destruction. Knowing she...

Mommy Got!

  Mommy Got!  I went to the store and there were several signs out selling items for Mother's Day. So what do Mother's want for Mother's Day? Mommy Got! Is a song written by my granddaughter and one of the best Mother's Day gifts ever gifted to me! for Mother's Day!  Granddaughter Working on Song My granddaughter, Olive has a beautiful voice, but her mom (born deaf) is now tone deaf has a not-so-great singing voice to most. However, Olive loves the sound of her mom's voice. Olive heard that  one day everyone in Heaven will sing praises to the Lord. So, her mom's voice will surely add to the beautiful melody of the songs in Heaven, right?  But could her mom's voice add to the beauty of songs now?  After hearing   KB's Song 10K , Olive became inspired to write a song where she would incorporate singing with talking (rap) for her mom like KB. Olive, wrote a song she could sing with her mom!  together!  My Granddaughter was so excited she ...
