“Does he really think this tiny marble can turn into a flying carpet or something?” I thought. And then I remembered I hadn’t read any fairy tales for ages, while it was fairy tales where such miracles happened every day and every minute.
Dear native English speakers!
Please advise on the phrase. I'm not really sure it sounds natural enough, but I'm no NES myself.
I'll appreciate any suggestions.

As fairy tales were the good place for these miracles to happen
As here is an adverb like While. However the use of each one is different from the other in this context.

while it was in fairy tales that...
...such miracles happened day in and day out.
"day in and day out", IMO, is better expression to represent "always happening".
