About

Hello!

My name is Julie – the Happy Home Fairy.

I love holidays.

I love traditions.

untitled-37I love making memories with my family.

I love cheap and easy crafts.

I love cooking simple and delicious recipes.

I love window clings.

I love corny hilarious jokes.

happyhomefairyI love wearing fairy wings.

I love glitter.

untitled-141I love the Happy Hubby and his willingness to put up with my crazy brilliant Date Night Ideas.

untitled-50I love our 3-year-old, the Happy Buddy, and all of the things we do together for No Cost Fun.

IMG_3208I love the Happy Baby, who is always happy, even though he spent the first 3 months of his life in the hospital.  His story is so close to my heart – such a testimony of God’s faithfulness.

I love sharing all of the things above (and some FREE Printables thrown in the mix!) with Moms (like you) to help you have a Happy Home.

And most of all, I love Jesus -

He is the real reason our home is happy.

I hope you will join Happy Home Fairy and all of the magic!

“Praise be to the Lord, to God our Savior, who daily loads us with benefits.” Psalm 68:19

    As a mommy of three (soon-to-be four), I must all the more be creative with my little ones yet find that creativity doesn’t come as readily as it used to. So thank you, thank you, thank you for your blog posts, awesome ideas, encouragement to other moms, and for living out Matthew 5:16 in the flesh. You don’t know how much I’ve needed you in this season of my life! Thank you.

      Wow, Melissa! Your encouragement has blessed me so much! I am so happy that God is using this little blog to bring joy to your home. :-) You certainly have your hands full! I have no doubt that you are a wonderful wife and mom and woman! May He continue to remind you of His unfailing love for you every day!

    Wow, What a great blog Julia! I’m married to Scot (I’m from Poland) and I’m mom of one beautiful baby girl (11 months old yesterday!) and missionary in small village in Ukraine and I WANT to have HAPPY family! I will be reading your blog regularly to get some ideas. Thanks :) God bless you and your HAPPY family!

      Joanna, you live in the Ukraine and are reading the Happy Home Fairy blog? That is awesome!

    Wow! What a blessing. Thank you. This is exactly what our country needs – supportive, encouring, loving, happy wives/mommies.

      Thanks, Mandy! Your encouragement is so uplifting! I do hope you’ll keep visiting! :-)

    I found you today through a comment that you left on The Crafting Chicks It seems like we have a similar blog purpose (or niche I suppose). Believe it or not I have a hard time finding other blogs that have traditions and celebrating as their focus. It looks like you have a great blog here and I’m excited to be your new follower :)

    I love your site, such wonderful ideas, but I am frustrating with trying to pring your St. Patti’s Jokes, etc…they are not formatted to print but only one joke…I cheked my printer, not nothing seems to work…do you have any better ideas.

    • Happy Home Fairy March 15, 2011 at 1:39 pm #

      Hello Roswitha!

      You will need to scale the image down so that it fits on one page. Go to Print PREVIEW and then look at the scaling percentages and try different percentages until you find the one that makes it fit.

      For example, when I hit print preview, at the top it says Scale – and then percentages. Mine fit the page at 125%. Also make sure that it is in PORTRAIT and not Landscape format.

      I hope that this helps you!

      Please let me know how it works for you! :-)

    Julie, Let everyone know that you can also include singing with your speaking. You have so many gifts. I can send you a few photos of you singing that you could put on your blog. ( : Let me know if you want them and where I should send them.
    Love,
    Carol Wilson

    Thank you soooo much for being so encouraging and inspirational! I found your blog about 3 months ago and I can’t get enough! Your ideas have really brought a lot of happiness to our home during this deployment (hubby is in the Air Force and in Afgh… & I really can’t wait until my husband is home from his deployment so we can use some of your date ideas! = ) You have been such a blessing… I know that God has amazing things in store for you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! = )

    I am obsessed with this site. Stumbled upon the “real Easter Bunny” pic on Pinterest and now I can’t get enough. I am a new mom to an almost-8 month-old boy. We waited 16 years for this child and are now waiting for his adoption to be finalized. God has blessed us beyond measure and now I have your wonderful ideas to use in our happy home.

  20. Donna April 6, 2012 at 11:41 pm #

    Julie, I love your website!!
    I am a young mother of one. My happy buddy is 3 years old. I am in nursing school and my husband works atleast 60 hours a week. Your craft ideas, receipes, just everything has helped us all to be able to spend what time we do have together, having fun. I would like to thank you. I am praying for your new little one and of course you. Hope you have a blessed day!!

    Came across your site by chance. I live in Johannesburg, South Africa. My 3 girls are all grown up now but I was drawn to your site by the lovely name “Home Fairy” just says it all. And your love for Our Lord makes your stories even more beautiful. You have another follower. God bless from a wonderfully hot and sunny Johannesburg.
