Oh how darling! I especially love the photos of Emily doing the hula and the photo of the two of you together. :) Thanks for sharing! Love, Mom

Cute pictures. What a fun party! I love that first one of her hula hooping.

It looks like it was a lot of fun!

Oh, what pioneer fun!!! We are big "Little House" fans over here! I can hardly wait to see what you are putting together for Emily's birthday party!

I re-pinned the wagon craft. Even though we previously hosted a Little House party, Hanna would still like to make one.
This looks like a fun girls' morning. Hanna and I are home alone all day together. Maybe we can make something from our collected Pinterest ideas.
Thank you for inspiring me to make every day count.

As you know, I've always loved the Little House books. How fun to see another generation enjoying them as well! :) Cute photos of Emily and Rachel with their wagons and paper dolls. :) Love to all, Mom/Grammie

I saw the movie. I like both the lead actors & they did an ok job, not their best movie. It was clean & fun to watch. I didn't know it was based on a real story until a day or so before watching the movie. I am looking forward to reading it, especially now that I know it was a faith-full journey!

I have a hold placed on the movie through my library. Based on yours and your mom's review, I will instead place the book on hold. Thank you!

I always enjoy book reviews! I haven't read this one or seen the movie. I think I'll have to pick this one up and give it a try! Thanks for sharing!

2012-05-23T11:40:31.033-04:00

I was excited for the movie. While sewing last week I thought I'd pay to rent it on Amazon. The movie was a disappointment. There was never a mention of the couples faith. Never a mention of the power of God. I'd suggest skipping the movie.

2012-05-23T09:19:34.536-04:00

I haven't read the book, but watched the movie the other night when I had some unexpected alone time. I agree with MOM, skip it!

2012-05-23T08:16:43.156-04:00

I've read the book and seen the movie. I didn't know before seeing the movie that it was so different from the book. The couple's faith is not mentioned at all in the movie -- very disappointing. The real couple's story is a testimony to God's grace in a very difficult situation. My suggestion is read the book, skip the movie.

Thanks for sharing! Love, Mom

Sounds like a typical day around here. I find myself trying to redeem the day often. :) As long as you can smile at the end of the day that is what counts.

Enjoy your day!

I am always amazed at hom much living you fit into a day! I loved that Ann's post focused on a Mom's Day that included the children. So often, I read ideas for pampering mom that exclude the children.
I had a lovely Mother's Day with a picnic on the deck, lots of handmade gifts, and some time to relax.

Monica, you are so CUTE!
