I too - had a blessed and carefree childhood - - I must give thanks to my dear mother & father for making me feel loved, safe and happy - as well as giving me my values and beliefs - Wish my grandchildren could have experienced this kind of childhood.<br /><br />Kansas GirlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4718905863879655459.post-51678756068827580322012-02-12T18:01:20.276-05:002012-02-12T18:01:20.276-05:00Mrs. White, today I am ill and just spent the day...Mrs. White, today I am ill and just spent the day reading through the last year of your blog. It has been such an encouragement to me. I also grew up on the ocean in Massachusetts, but on the North Shore. I think you would love the book "You and I and Yesterday" by Marjorie Holmes. Also, "The Shaping of a Christian Family" by Elisabeth Elliot. They are filled with nostaligic stories you will love.Gloriahttp://www.thelongawaitedhome.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4718905863879655459.post-18497106006603985732011-04-24T23:46:00.353-04:002011-04-24T23:46:00.353-04:00Cassidy, your husband's worries are very valid...Cassidy, your husband's worries are very valid! (smiles) I think the 1950's childhood works best in an established community. You know the type where the families have lived there for generations? All the moms knew each other and some of the families were related.<br /><br />I would love to hear ideas for establishing this kind of life in this day and age. I wonder if inviting cousins over, or friends from church over, even just on a weekend afternoon would be a start?<br /><br />Blessings<br />Mrs. WhiteMrs. Whitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13265603931136498066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4718905863879655459.post-43218572016384318482011-04-18T16:35:59.273-04:002011-04-18T16:35:59.273-04:00Great post.

My Mom was born in the late 50's and my grandmother was a young, beautiful homemaker during that era. I have wanted so much to create this for my chidren too but my hubby is one of those "freaks" that worries about everything in the whole world that MIGHT EVER POSSIBLY COULD happen. Also, we live in Dallas...moved here from a sweet little town in far east TX where I loved it and my parents have a horse ranch. I grew up digging in the mud making mud pies. Helping in the garden because I wanted to, picking dead chickens up in the chicken houses, riding horses and all those beautiful things were outdoors! When I have the girls open the mini blinds, I will say, "Yall let the happy light in!" I wish you would do a series on how to make it happen.

I do my best to give this to my kids but you need other kids and other parents to make it work the best and I find it hard to find like minded parents. The kids - they are usually on board once they stop being bored!Christyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01129372114193004027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4718905863879655459.post-88655882754877586832011-04-13T20:56:06.870-04:002011-04-13T20:56:06.870-04:00What a sweet post!

I don't know why girls and boys are in such a rush to grow up. Things like playing with dolls now seem to be grown out of by 9 or 10 which just seems to early!Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04441772575424198075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4718905863879655459.post-81757375710527619642011-04-13T13:50:05.478-04:002011-04-13T13:50:05.478-04:00Mrs. White,

Saying "no" has been in important part of it. <br />I keep in mind that I am asked to do many tasks for church and I am very, very selective about which ones I do. The church has a pool of helpers, but my family has only one of me. <br />We don't take on very many evening activities, realizing that evenings at home as a family are very vital and precious. <br />We have breakfast and dinner together and my husband loves the fact that he can walk home for lunch. <br />Even on Saturdays, we do work around our place rather than constantly running here and there.<br />Our favorite activities include drives to the mountains, fishing and camping. We feel it is important to give our children an appreciation for nature rather than an obscession for electronics. <br />God bless you today......DeniseRocky Mountain Homemakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03953810454269758775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4718905863879655459.post-65680538369772242162011-04-13T08:53:42.066-04:002011-04-13T08:53:42.066-04:00Cute post.
