I had heard of an elusive fairy traveling around the blogosphere spreading sprinklings of pixie dust and magic last year but no pixie dust reached my site. This year I heard again the faint rumblings that fairy magic was spreading around the internet. The Fairy Hobmother was visiting unsuspecting bloggers and brightening their day with a $50 Amazon gift certificate. ”Be sure to comment on the posts about him,” friends advised. “He searches through the comments to pick his next recipients.” When I heard this news, I couldn’t click the comment button fast enough. ”I believe in fairies! I do! I do!” I responded eagerly. I scoured blogs I read to see if they had been visited and sneaked in a comment on my willingness to be visited by the Fairy Hobmother. I had almost given up hope, perhaps I wasn’t fairy material, when I opened my inbox and saw a note saying, “Greetings from the Fairy Hobmother.” Woohoo! My wish had come true and I could rest easy knowing that good fairies do exist. Just in time too because the screen on my laptop had broken and needed to be replaced!
But, surprise, surprise! The Fairy Hobmother is really a guy! His name is Matt Mitchell and he works for Appliances Online. I wonder if he also drops by and does laundry? That would be the icing on the cake. I could get used to a lot of fairies– maybe a chef fairy, a laundry fairy, and a house cleaning fairy for starters if they are not scared away by the amount of messes my kids can produce.
Do you need some fairy magic in your life? Leave a comment and maybe the elusive Fairy Hobmother will stop by and visit you too!

So excited for you!!
glad to see you got a visit from the Fairy Hobmother 
I do believe in fairies as well and could definitely use some fairy magic in my life right now. Although a laundry fairy and a clean up fairy would be nice, maybe even a fairy to keep my daughter company while I rest, the fairy I need the most is just one to bring a little good news… news of no cancer, no major surgery. I’ll settle for any good news though 
How super exciting is that? I love when surprises show up out of nowhere. Mhh a laundry fairy sure would be awesome
This is a very fun way to promote your site! We need more Matt Mitchell’s around!
I would love a visit from the Fairy Hobmother. I have been hoping for one for awhile
I am glad you got yours and I agree, a clean up fairy would be nice but knowing my household of boys, it would be dirty again in a minute!
I could totally use some cleaning fairies in my house. I remember once I cleaned up the kids’ toys in my neighbor’s yard and she asked if the clean up fairies had visited her house. I told her yes, and they would like to be paid with cookies or cake! LOL
I have always believed in fairies although the ‘dish washing’ fairy often gets lost on her/his way to my kitchen sink. The Fairy Hobmother sounds like a wonderful addition to the list of fairies I believe in. I’m glad he came to visit you as you are a very deserving recipient.
ooo a fairy visit sounds great. Congrats for your visit. Here’s wishing he wants to stop by my blog too.
how fun would it be to have a visit from the fairy? I would love it… so much is going on here… trying to find a house (that would be fun to use to decorate the new place) to my son turning 4 and has the flu… maybe “nurse mommy” needs a pick me up!
ha ha… congrats on the visit!!!
Send some magic my way!

Oh my goodness, I totally want a laundry fairy!! How awesome of Matt, nice to see people doing good in the world and spreading some joy to bloggers!
Congratulations! That sure is a wonderful thing for Matt Mitchell to do. I would cry if I were ever blessed with a visit from the Fairy Hobmother and so would my 3 sons.
I could use an appliance fairy, though, because it’s not easy having to walk next door to my mother’s in order to have clean clothes.

Well that’s awesome! I have to say it’s the first I’ve heard of the Fairy Hobmother, he sounds pretty amazing! I keep wishing for a floor-mopping fairy I haven’t found that elusive creature yet either
I’d like an appliance fairy to come too!
He does exist! Wonder if he’ll fly me in a new washing machine if I just believe……….
That would be awesome if he really visited my blog.
That’s great! I would love a visit
