So in the fall, somehow, my older daughter started to be gifted balloons pretty often, which are great! But then a day or two passes and frankly, the bother me. And she mostly stops playing with them but always wants to know where they are.
Enter the Balloon Fairy.
We made up this magical Balloon Fairy who comes when our kiddos are sleeping and takes the balloons away to other boys and girls who need them.
And we have never had a single protest. It's so matter-of-fact around here. Amazing!
I know one day we will have to spill the beans about this incredible, stupid lie, but man it has saved my sanity so many times!
