I hope the "Little House Lifestyle" blog will be a way to:
- keep a record, for myself and my family, of my efforts to live a simpler lifestyle
- motivate myself and hold myself accountable to live a simple lifestyle
- promote getting back to the more worthwhile things in life (in my own family and in others)--ie time with family, hard work, self-sufficiency, community, etc. The list goes on and on!
- promote getting away from the less important things in life (in my own family and in others)--ie video games, tv, movies, addictions, dependence [on government, welfare, parents, debt, impulsiveness], etc.
- explore and celebrate wonderful classics in literature--mainly the Little House on the Prairie series
- try various recipes, techniques, arts and crafts and lifestyle principles of our ancestors
- get a better appreciation for the incredible strengths and sacrifices of our ancestors
- connect with other like-minded people
- politically charged (though I do have certain political stances that you may be able to make out from my blog)
- proselytizing (though I am Christian and Mormon and will occasionally reference my beliefs)
- condemning--- I understand that we may differ in any number of ways--faith, lifestyle, political or social affiliations, background, age, family make-up, education, socioeconomic status, and more--but the "Little House Lifestyle" blog will always strive to be respectful and welcoming to all. However, I do reserve the right to moderate and delete disrespectful, condemning, or otherwise offensive comments on the blog.
- expert information. I am very much a novice in simple living and will be learning as I go! However, I'll share any expert information I find that would be helpful and pertinent to individual blog posts or topics, both within the posts themselves and under "resources" and "links" on the blog's right sidebar.
- exhaustive. There's so much in living a simple lifestyle that there is no way that I will cover every aspect, nor any aspect in the depth it deserves. But the sampling I give you should be interesting!
- very grateful for and to my husband, Heavenly Father, and friends and family-- they are all always willing to be supportive of my 'next great exploit'
- interested in history and the lives of our progenitors
- devoted to living principles that are based on and promote solid values
- excited to learn and try new things
- concerned about negative influences on my loved ones (sexualization, violence, irreligiousness, estrangement from parents/ family, disrespect, horror, crude or harsh language, poor health habits, and more)
- passionate about trying to protect my family from negative influences and making the world a better, more wholesome place
- friendly, social, probably a little overly ambitious and a little scatter-brained, but excited for this new challenge!
- a perfectionist. I spend little time on Facebook and even less time on Pinterest. I do love to craft, but I do not care to 'keep up with the Joneses' and I do not want to worry about whether something I do is good enough for someone else. If it's good enough for me, my family, and God--- it's good enough!
- an expert. I am going to be learning and experimenting and you'll probably laugh at how much of a novice I really am. Please comment on things that can be done better, knowledge or experience you have, or stories you want to share.
