Laura Ingalls Wilder Expedition

Maggie has become a fan of Laura Ingalls Wilder and "Little House on the Prairie" TV show. She likes horses, prairie dresses, bonnets, wagons and being barefeet in warm weather. She likes calling Jimmy and I, "Pa" and "Ma". She is amazing and is turning 5 tomorrow. This weekend the whole family went to a Laura Ingalls Wilder expedition and did some fun stuff. We beat mattresses, wrote with a quill, used a washboard and saw some of Laura's stuff. Maggie got her fisrt horse dawn wagon ride with her daddy as her companion. She had fun. Daddy bought her a prairie dress and bonnet as I am still in the process of handsewing her one.

When I was watching her run and play, ride the wagon with her dad, I got teary eyed. She is living my childhood dream and it's because she likes it.

  1. it should fit most 350ml milk jugs, you may just need to tweak the mattress stitch join, height of button holes to fit the handle (swap two purls for YO, P2TOG at the beginning and end of the row), and you may also need to mattress stitch at the top of the handle. http://www.sfgate.com/business/prweb/article/Consumer-Mattress-Reviews-Supports-Findings-in-4147587.php

  2. Have you ever had a bad night because you and your partner kept kicking each other in the side? Are you haunted by back problems or the old mattress is simply not good enough anymore? All those issues can be blown away if you put in the money and the time in to pick one that fits you, and not the other way around. truck mattress
