Grumpy Gremlets?
Gremlets are what we seem to turn into when the Gremlins strike and everything seems to be going wrong. Some days are just like going down a slide on an unfair funfair aren't they?
It'd be wonderful if all my Fairy Friends here at Halos were always happy to the point of bursting, to know that the sun shone over your hearts and homes always and that whatever problems raised their ugly head we could sort out with a smile and think that the challenge was good for our soul...
However, just to pop that lovely little bubble - real life is not always that way inclined. Sadly often there are problems, we get tired, miserable, upset, we can fall to squabbling with our families and friends because sometimes, we don't know quite how we feel and why no-one else realises that we're not surfing the rainbow and grinning like a sunbeam.
Sometimes bad things happen and there seems to be nothing you can do about it, sigh, take a deep breath and carry on, it may appear to everyone else that you're fine but inside you're curling up.
Let's hope it never gets that bad!
If however you do need to vent - Fairies and Little Angels, as long as you don't swear and keep it clean you can do that here; I will have to delete anything I think is unsuitable. I'm sure there'll soon be a fairy alone who can pop a nice comment on to support you and sometimes just writing it down may help. I know I'm opening a can of worms but perhaps support means just that, maybe people should be more honest about how they feel and if we are here to support one another, maybe we should be able to accept that as well as problems we have feelings which get muddled in and can make things seem worse.
Let's hope we even get some good feelings on here too!

Just as grown-ups are told about positive thinking as a means to and end, think how good it would be to teach our little ones to think positively from the start of life.
“I’m rubbish at…” “I can’t…” “It won’t work…” “But no-one will play with me.”
“WHO SAYS? HAVE YOU TRIED? WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO HAPPEN? HOW CAN YOU GET THAT?
How can you say you’re rubbish look at all the fantastic things you can do!
No-one on the planet tied laces on their first ever try. Practice makes perfect.
A new friendship starts with one person smiling and saying hello, take a deep breath, go say hi.
Look at the problem together; what does your little poppet (who of course deserves to be loved by everyone and be given almost every desire without question) get from where they are to where they want to be?
The Challenge is starting sentences “I am” and something positive, anything negative sneaks into our subconscious and as our minds and bodies are connected can have a very negative affect, causing us to indeed be unable to do things.
Picturing yourself as healthy and happy goes a long way towards actually being healthy and happy, this is the power of your little ones mind and imagination.
Mums and Dads can contribute to this by trying to be positive, ok there are times when this is really hard and our worries are well founded but mostly if you are happy and positive around your kids they will learn to be happy and optimistic throughout their lives too.
Remember 80% of the things we worry about never happen!
So why worry?
STRESS
We all have this even our kids.
I said in Entertaining Little Angels about Bubbles as a game for fun.
This is a brilliant bathtime bubble bursting bonanza.
Simple allow bubble blow in the bath and tell them to put a stress into each bubble they blow and then watch it float away or burst it.
Banana Split Nights
Ok this is fun and the potassium in the bananas is really relaxing.
Get all the ingredients you kids like and allow them to make babana splits, really good the night before they return to school after the holidays.
REMEMBER - Fairy Friends Frighten Stress Away Every Single Day!
