It might be nice t reread them this winter.<br /><br />BTW, I was given an Honest Scrap Award this afternoon and I am awarding it to 7 other bloggers ~ you are one of them!

We have a "little house" and so maybe I will find some ideas for storage and such! <br /><br />I love, LOVE, love Little House! I read the series as a kid, and we are reading through the series as a family. I could never get tired of it! What a fun tradition to re-read them every winter! :) I love so many aspects of these books~ the close-knit family that cares for each other, how the mother teaches the girls things and they work together (like you mentioned!),how they pull through hard times together, their faith in God, and on and on! :) <br /><br />Did you have a good weekend? I sure hope so! :)Jennihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13894298965540935785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6419684017931883072.post-70266307527443289932009-09-21T04:42:43.787-07:002009-09-21T04:42:43.787-07:00oh - it's been such a long time since I have r...oh - it's been such a long time since I have read those, and my daughters have NOT...gasp.

It inspired me and now that I am homeschooling, our family works even better as a unit. One thing I think has been lost is the family unit working together. Since we began the homeschooling we have become so much tighter. The kids actually have to pitch in more, and I think Ma encountered the same. You can't get through the day waiting on people and survive. What a great gift being able to read these and still learn lessons from it.
