I remember the rope to-not-get-lost-in-the-blizzard from Little House... it makes an impression.

In real life, Sue (Life Below Zero show) actually does this at her Kavik River Camp on the North Slope, 15 miles from the Arctic Ocean & 500 miles from Fairbanks. With temps as low as -60°, you could freeze in a hurry!

When Step #2 was learning to read, we read all of the Little House books together; he would read one page, then I would read the next. It was always SO EXCITING when Pa got to fight a bear or a wolf or an Indian. ;)

I’m still humbled by Laura and Mary being THRILLED to get an orange, a peppermint stick, new mittens and a tin cup for Christmas.

Life should always be that simple! :)
