Did you know that January is Hot Tea Month? I was raised a tea drinker. In Australia we don't just enjoy three meals a day, but we add an extra couple in there too … morning and afternoon tea. A time when we gather together for a cup of tea served with biscuits, cake, and other delicious snacks. A time to chat and reconnect. I'm definitely a Bigelow Tea Vanilla Chai kinda girl. It's a staple in my pantry, and something I look forward to every day.

I find that I also drink a lot of tea based on my needs though too, such as lemon tea with a little honey when my throat is feeling a little scratchy, peppermint tea when I'm traveling, and chamomile tea when I need something a little more calming.

And in light of that, I decided to make a tea travel pouch that I can keep in my handbag. I find myself traveling more and more of late. My partner lives in Kentucky, and I'm in California, so one of us travels every few weeks. And there's nothing worse than being stuck on a plane, or on a road trip, and craving your favorite tea and not having any with you.

I have to admit that when I was watching the media screening of DreamWorks animated movie Trolls, I wished I had a pen and paper with me to jot down all of the fun, creative ideas that started flowing. Everything from cupcakes, to cotton candy, DIY projects, and fun crafts. 

Marisol has been reminding me for some time though that I've been promising to make a fairy garden for her, so I surprised her with this one after school.

She absolutely loved the Trolls movie, so was absolutely giddy over this Trolls garden that is now on display in her bedroom, and it even has a working fountain that I picked up from True Value for under $10.

May is Thankorama Month thanks to Mo Willems and his release of the final book in the beloved Elephant & Piggie series, The Thank You Book.

With the school year coming to an end shortly, it's also the perfect time to thank those who have done so much for you throughout the school year including teachers, friends, and of course don't forget your favorite librarian.

The Thank You Book is the perfect way to thank someone, it even comes with a little gift in the back, and paired with my homemade bookmarks makes it the perfect gift.
