Thanks to Facebook, I quickly scrolled through a year’s worth of status updates and discovered a common theme – my fairy farm princess. She does do and say the darnedest things. Here’s a few of her best efforts in 2013. January 1: I interrupted Nattie's Barbie dance party to comment on one doll's pink hair. Nattie scowled and said, "Mom, you don't see her beauty like I do."
