A motivational homemaking guide inspired by Laura Ingalls Wilder' s Little House on the Prairie books, featuring creative, fun ways to live your life simply and frugally from the immensely popular blogger behind Little House Living--perfect for fans of Ree Drummond' s The Pioneer Woman. Shortly after getting married, Merissa A. Alink and her husband found themselves with nothing in their pantry but a package of spaghetti, orange preserves, and some bread crumbs. They had hit rock bottom, and only a touching act of charity was able to get them back on their feet. Inspired by this gesture of kindness as well as by prairie living, Merissa set out to have an entirely made-from-scratch life, the "Little House" way, embracing a blissful self-sufficient existence. She rescued her household budget and started to write about homesteading, homemaking, and cooking from scratch. As whole foods became staples of the family diet, Merissa realized the dangers of putting overly processed ingredients not only into our bodies but on or near them as well. In addition to countless delicious, home-cooked dishes, she created natural, easy-to-make recipes for every household need from sunblock and taco seasoning mix to lemon poppy body scrub and furniture polish. Brimming with more than 130 practical, simple DIY recipes and projects, gorgeous full-color photographs, and charming personal stories and lifestyle tips, Little House Living is the epitome of heartland warmth and prairie inspiration.
With her own experiences as guide, [Merissa] Alink demonstrates that some aspects of rural living translate to any situation. . . Alink brings a bit of [Laura Ingalls] Wilder' s life into the present. This title will find a comfortable home in most library collections. Especially warranted where Wendy McClure' s The Wilder Life has found popularity. --Library Journal
