The girls and I have been enjoying the little house book series, written by Laura Ingalls Wilder. The older 2 really enjoying learning of what life was like for little girls in Laura's childhood. I am too fascinated with the era. Personally would love much of the simpler ways of living and thinking, but with a few of the modern conveniences! I personally never read the books until now and we are only though "Little House in the Big Woods" and have made our way onto "Farmer Boy" . When the kids ask for TV I suggest if I have the time that I read to them.
Below is a link to a blog article I stumbled across just educating myself on Laura Ingalls Wilder, found it interesting. Makes many great points, if you'd like to read. :o)

This is my life...... am I who I want to be??
While mass producing pancakes and waffles for our freezer for the kids breakfasts, I had pandora radio playing, and this Switchfoot song came on, This is your life. It is a favorite song of mine, and I haven't heard it in awhile. The song touched me and I was nearly in tears, as a washed up the dishes, the kids dancing about, baby girl a little fussy and ready for a bedtime min snuggle with mommy. Have a listen... then read further.
Then I realize... as totally exhausting as some of my days can be, this is my life and I am who I want to be, a wife to my wonderful husband, and a mother to my 4 girls and it doesn't matter what I drive, how big our house is, or how much money my husband makes. God has truly blessed me, and though things don't always go they way I planned or hoped they would but in the end the road we are on only adds to our character for the better. I can stand for improvement on "who" I am, but over all I'm mighty please with where we are going, and with the folks that we are traveling with. We have a fabulous family, and great and awesome friends that might as well be family too (in many ways they feel like family).

Back on track!
Seems having 4 children, leaves little time for mom!! I have been slacking in the realm of keeping up on this blog, and in reading those that I had once followed and where encouraged by. But am determined to have a little mommy time, and get back on track in so many areas! Stephan got me a new camera for Christmas, and I am determined to figure out how to up load photos from the thing!! :o) 4+ months into 2011 and I've not posted since October of 2010!!! WOW! That time have been filled with much activity and accomplishment! Plan to attempt at getting back to having some kind of daily blip from this Rouze House!
