Flint Hills Fairies

Amanda here, founder of Flint Hills Fairies. ✨

Much of my year is spent traveling the country, creating magical encounters, leading performers, and bringing whimsical experiences to festivals, events, and communities. This week, however, I find myself in a rare place: home.

I've been tending my native garden, planting new additions from Daniel P. Mattingly at Mighty Rivers Nursery, and enjoying the simple magic that inspires so much of my work. Watching the bees move from flower to flower and seeing the lightning bugs emerge at dusk reminds me where many of my ideas begin.

Before the next adventure calls, I'm grateful for a few quiet days in my favorite place—a little corner of Kansas filled with wonder. 🌿✨

Let me count the offences: When you're being arrested for being a boring adult and don't realize she's left the keys in plain sight 😂🙌😁

When COVID happened, I had a couple months off from my job as a teacher. I remember being amazed at the changing of the seasons as spring came on. ✨

I couldn't believe I'd spent so much of my life missing out on the migration of birds, the blooming of flowers the clouds rolling by.

So.... I asked the universe for the opportunity to experience the seasons change. To have a career that gave me the opportunity to know it all.

That fall, it came together and I've been on the road sense.

I don't regret that at all! 🪷
