Join me for a creative art journaling process designed for adults and teens as I share the story behind this painting. The Heart of the Homestead: A Little House on the Prairie Watercolor Tribute Some gifts arrive wrapped in paper. The best ones arrive wrapped in time. The Heart of the Homestead is my watercolor tribute to a birthday gift from my grandmother — the Little House on the Prairie book set, and the promise she asked me to keep: read the books before I watched the show. She told me I looked just like Laura Ingalls, in my long braids, and that promise shaped a lifelong love of slow storytelling.📓 JOURNAL PROMPT FROM THIS EPISODE: What favorite childhood book or slow-living habit brings you the most comfort in today's fast-paced world?
