Laura Ingalls Wilder

February 7 1867 - February 10 1957

Play Music!!

If enough people think of a thing  and work hard enough at it , I guess it's bound to happen, wind and  weather permitting."

Laura Ingalls Wilder                 

                  

       

The girls and I have so much FUN

"PRETENDING" and "TIME TRAVELING"

 and we felt as though we

 were in a "Little House On The Prairie" story!!  

                                         

                                        

"Home is the nicest word there is!"

                                                    Laura Ingalls Wilder

"It is a good idea sometimes to think of

the importance and dignity of our 

every-day duties.

It keeps them from being so tiresome;

besides, others are apt to take us at

our own valuation."

                                               Laura Ingalls Wilder 

Lexie's "new" antique teapot! 

                                 

We had tea the day before!!

"Ma liked everything on her  table to be pretty. Laura Ingalls Wilder

Lexie loves her teapot from Omi (me)

"It is the common, everyday blessings  of our common everyday lives for which we should be grateful." Laura Ingalls Wilder

                                     

"The real things haven't changed. It is still best to be honest and truthful; to make the most of what we have; to be  happy with simple pleasures and have  the courage when things go wrong."  Laura Ingalls Wilder

                      

"Things alone are very unsatisfying. Happiness is not to be found in money or in houses and lands, not even in modern kitchens or a late motor car. Such things add to our happiness only because of  the pleasant times they bring us."

Laura Ingalls Wilder

                                    

"The true way to live is to  enjoy every moment as it passes, and surely it is in everyday things  around us that the beauty of life lies."   Laura Ingalls Wilder

                       

"If we chose the way that "everybody does" we are smirched with their dust and  confusion and imitate their mistakes."                                                                      Laura Ingalls Wilder

"As the years pass, I am coming more and more to understand that it is the common everyday blessings   of our everyday lives for which we should be particularly grateful. They are the things that fill our lives with comfort and our hearts with gladness - just the pure air to breathe and the strength to breath it;  just warmth and shelter and home folks; just plain food that gives us strength; the bright sunshine on a cold  day; and a cool breeze when the day is warm." 
Laura Ingalls Wilder (Writings to young women,  On Wisdom and virtue)

"Vices are only overlooked virtues." Laura Ingalls Wilder

Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.                                      3 John 1:2

"This earthly life is a battle" said Ma. "If  it isn't one thing to contend with, it's another. It always has been so, and it always will be. The sooner you make your mind to that, the better off you are, and more thankful for your pleasures." Laura Ingalls Wilder

"I am beginning to learn that it is the sweet,   simple things of life which are  the real ones after all."                                                           Laura Ingalls Wilder

"Remember well, and bear in mind, a constant friend is hard to find" Laura Ingalls Wilder

"The true way to enjoy every moment as

it passes, and surely it is in the everyday

things around us that the beauty of life lies."

   Laura Ingalls Wilder

"A good laugh overcomes more  difficulties and dissipates more  dark clouds than any one thing." Laura Ingalls Wilder

"It is the simple things of life  that make  living worthwhile; Sweet fundamental things such as love." Laura Ingalls Wilder

"Suffering passes, while love  is eternal. That is a gift that you have received from God. Don't waste it." Laura Ingalls Wilder

"But however fleeting and changeable life may appear to be on the surface, we know that the great underlying values of life are always the same; no different today than they were a thousand years ago." Laura Ingalls Wilder

The Mousiekin family have always 

lived the "Pioneer life"

They have lived in many dwellings similar to the Ingalls

But wherever they are 

they always make time for 

JOY and FAMILY and FRIENDS!!

"Remember me with smiles and laughter, for that is how  I will remember you all. If  you can only remember me with tears,  then don't remember me at all." Laura Ingalls Wilder
