Well, 2020 was a rough year for all of us. Even though there was no official Mad Tea Party with A Fanciful Twist this year, I decided that a bit of fun and fancy was just what was needed after a brutal end of the school year. Teaching preschoolers virtually was a challenge for everyone involved. I had a wonderful time at the cabin setting up for our party. Fresh huckleberries and some cranberry tea were just what the doctor ordered!

This year I am trying some new endeavors. I am attenpting to run 13 half marathons in 2013. I was so excited to see that there is an Alice in Wonderland themed virtual race by the Moms Run This Town group in Georgia. The medal is very cool. I can't wait to earn the medal while running at the cabin in July! I have also become fascinated with miniature gardens....it combines two of my favorite things. So for this year's Mad Tea Party, I created my own "Alice in a cup" mini garden.

For the Mad Tea Party 2012, Alice joined me on my Northern Summer tour. We had lots of fun seeking out adventure. The adventure began at the Botanic Gardens in Washington D.C. In this beautiful place, she took a moment to enjoy a cup of tea. While sipping her tea, Alice saw a white blur dart into the garden. Following, she caught up with a white rabbit in the Children’s garden. The rabbit apologized for interrupting her snack and invited Alice to join him and some friends for tea. Before Alice could get directions though, the rabbit darted off into the garden. While looking for the rabbit amongst the hot house orchids, Alice lost her footing and fell into a hidden crevice. Fortunately, she landed on a bed of the softest moss. Feeling disoriented after her fall, Alice was amazed to see she had been transported from the gardens to the mountains of West Virginia. She wandered the woods until she came to a sign. Hoping that she would find someone to he...
