25. Little House Summer Series: Little House on the Prairie Deep Dive

This week we're wrapping up the book reading portion of our Little House mini series with Little House on the Prairie — and what a book to go out on.We walk through the Ingalls family's journey from the forests of Wisconsin out onto the open Kansas prairie, chapter by chapter. From the heart-stopping creek crossing in chapter two (and the moment we almost lose beloved Jack) to wolf packs circling the house at night, prairie fires, a near-fatal well dig, mysterious visitors, and a Christmas miracle courtesy of the one and only Mr. Edwards — this book is packed with adventure from the very first page.We also talk about what it actually meant to build a life from scratch and why these people were just genuinely built differently. And we get into the bittersweet, gutting ending, because Laura Ingalls Wilder wasn't writing a fairytale. She was writing her life.Next week: We're shifting into something exciting — the modern woman vs. the pioneer woman. What are we grateful for? What can she still teach us? And how do we bring a little of that pioneer spirit into our lives today? #pioneerinfluencerThe Little House series by Laura Ingalls Wilder is available wherever books are sold. The TV pilot referenced in this episode is Season 1, Episode 1 of Little House on the Prairie (1974).Connect with Elizabeth: 💻 https://www.elizabethalicellc.com/ 📸 @elizabethalicerd on Instagram 💌 Subscribe to Vitality Vignette for cozy wellness musingsNow on TikTok!
