Do your kids love fairies and fairy gardens? Here is a fun fairy garden idea children can enjoy no matter what the weather is like outside. This fairy garden village uses small wooden bird houses to create homes for the fairies. Kids can paint the bird houses and then cover them with foam stickers and adhesive rhinestones to make fun fairy houses. The houses are placed in a box lid with moss, rocks, and fake plants to create the village.

Letter F Activity

If your children are young, you can use this as an opportunity to talk about words that begin with the letter f: fairy, friend, flower, fox, food, fox, frog, etc. Let them come up with their own ideas. If they can write, you can ask them to make a list of the items that they can use in the fairy village that begin with the letter f.

Welcome. I'm Alea!

On Premeditated Leftovers I share simple recipes made with whole foods, practical shopping tips, time saving techniques, and meal planning strategies. I also share tips for minimizing food waste, so more of the food that is purchased ends up on the table.

While volunteering as a budget counselor, I realized that food is the element of most people’s budgets where they have the greatest control. I set out to develop low-cost recipes from scratch to prove it’s possible to create delicious meals on a limited budget. Eating well while spending less is about more than just creating recipes using inexpensive ingredients; it’s about creatively combining ingredients so you don’t feel deprived and are inspired to stick to your budget.
