Bethany: I loved her books as a kid. I was pretty ecstatic when I found out I’m distantly related to her, simply because her books always brought a smile to my face.24 weeks ago
Lana: I am stunned right now. This morning, I wrote my entry on my blog, made griddle cakes for my daughter and sat down to peruse my favorite blogs while she watched Elmo. You and I must share a brain.
Up until a few nights ago I had never read any of the Little House books but I did grow up watching the series and loving every minute of it. My grandmother recently gave me her collection and I have been unable to put them down. I know they are considered children’s literature, but I am having a great time with them!24 weeks ago

Ashley!: On a scale from “dreading the halls” to “decking the halls,” I’m somewhere in between… maybe like, “delighting IN the halls?”
