This month we celebrated five birthdays in our family as well as Mother's Day! We all got together here at my house and had one big celebration! I decided to use the theme of woodland fairies and trolls. Here are some ideas if you want to use this theme yourself! There are lots more of ideas on Pinterest!

| A little information on Fairies |
 |
| Fairy among the flowers - they often dress in petals of flowers that are near. They not only like them for their beauty but also it helps to keep them well hidden from humans who may pass nearby |
 |
| Fairy Dust: Sprinkle lightly - do not take orally. May cause dizziness, euphoria, vomiting. |

 |
| Chocolate Rocks, and a troll "And above All, Watch with glittering eyes, the whole around you because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places Those Who Don't Believe in Magic Will Never Find It |
 |
| Cake I made with berries, mushrooms and flowers |
 |
| Two cake mixes (yellow and chocolate) Separate the four layers using icing or whip cream (I also put a layer of banana slices between some of them). Add icing to top of cake but not to edges. Just pile with fruit, mushrooms, butterflies, leaves, flowers, dragonflies, whatever you want that represents the forest. Stick some in between the layers as well. |
 |
| A very simple, yet beautiful cake to make! |

| All the mom's |

 |
| spinach wraps - some are turkey and Swiss with chopped spinach leaves, and strips of red pepper. The other is a layer of cream cheese with added sauted in butter, green apples or pears, chopped dried cranberries, pecans, and spinach leaves. Just roll them up, refrigerate several hours and then slice. |
