Once upon a time there were two girls that shared a room in a little cottage on a magical cove called Stillwater. Known locally as Tastebuds and Noodles, these girls would play in the cold pacific water and it felt like they had the whole ocean to themselves. Tide permitting, they would walk all over the smooth rocks looking at all the treasures the ocean would bring to them. These two girls even found a "hot tub" where they would sit and enjoy their private surroundings. It was in this magical cove on Pebble Beach that they embarked on kayaking adventures, would swim with the seals, play on the rocks and have lots of memorable photo shoots. It was around this time that Noodles finally opened her eyes to her prince charming while out on a "practice date". Tastebuds was very lucky to witness their relationship develop over time.... Prince charming was always doing things for Noodles and surprising her in fun ways. Like when she had told him that she wanted a garden of flowers and he snuck out in the middle of the night (off post) and planted an entire bed of flowers outside the front windows! It was a treat for all of us in this little cottage.
Tastebuds had her surprises as well, one morning she woke up to all these alarms going off. She looked over her bed and saw footprints leading to the door that lead to the ocean. She followed them and found her roommates gathered on the cliff watching the sunrise and having a birthday breakfast in her honor. It was a wonderful surprise. She felt very loved. She was deeply loved.
Noodles and her prince charming were engaged to be married and Tastebuds went out to see her be married in the castle (Salt Lake Temple). The ceremony was so elegant, just like a fairytale. One year later... little Penelope Joy joined the family. It was around this time that Tastebuds was crowned by Captian Double-A-ron to be Penelope's Fairygod Mother. Tastebuds did what she could to make her little fairygod daughter feel special and beautiful. Sending her pretty flowers and jewelry so she can play dress up. 2 years later, Harrison was born and Tastebuds was so excited to meet him too.
A wonderful relationship developed over the years and Tastebuds has grown to love her fairygod children dearly. She has visited them on many occasions and they share fun stories of building forts, sleeping in tents, having tea parties and playing pirates. One of Tastebuds favorite memories is when she was coming to visit after living overseas and when she arrived at the airport she came down the escalator and saw little Penelope holding a sign just for her. She was ecstatic! Recently, Tastebuds and Noodles were living together again and had such a wonderful time reminiscing their past, painting and decorating Noodles new house. Penelope would ask Tastebuds, "Can you stay forever like 5 times?" Harrison would shout, "Don't leave! Come back!" Tastebuds felt loved. She is loved.
It was during this last trip that it was decided that a photo shoot was needed to capture the Fairygod Mother moments. Noodles was naturally an amazing photographer and had great ideas for some fun photos. Penelope helped dress her Fairygod Mother and even let her borrow some of her favorite dress up clothes. They headed down to the water and let the magic begin. Take a look at that great day and an inside their beautiful story.

































Those are so fun, beautiful, and just plain sweet. The fun outfits really add to the childhood fantasy. You are probably the coolest, bestest fairygodmother ever.
