@@relaxforawhile Awww Joanne we all love and appreciate you sooo much with a Big pink sparkly Glittering heart of love and Gratitude to you!!Very thankful and will always be very Loyal and supportive To you Joanne!! Even more love hugs!💖💖🤩😍🙏🙏
Thank you for this. In 1966, my third grade teacher read this book to us a chapter a day after lunch when we had our heads on our desks for a rest. This book is the only one I specifically recall.
I’m 61. I read all the books when I was a little girl. I just loved them. I remember the simple little illustrations. I wish the world was still this simple.
Its the same world, needs us just like it always did. Simple enough. We break our asz doing other things now but the world needs us just the same. Nothing that way has changed. Beautiful reading, transporting.
My beloved 4th grade teacher, Mrs. Bledsoe, read our class these books. They meant the world to me, because I had never been read to before, nor did I own any children's books. They opened my mind to another world and my imagination. I am excited to listen to this story again, and to remember Mrs.Bledsoe, who is long since passed, but never forgotten.
We can't wait till you read the next complete book in the series. Your voice is so calming and relaxing. I listen to you every night as doe's my husband since he laying beside me. Now he says which LHOTP story he'd like to listen to lol. He never cared watching it on TV, but he got use to hearing you read one of them every night for months now, and he said , her voice is relaxing, I like listening to them every night, that's why we'll be glad when you do the book in the series lol. I got him hooked on listening to you now. Thank you so much for doing these stories, you do an excellent job. You are appreciated.
i have debillitating anxiety. Ive read these books multiple times as a teenager and adult. Your voice is better than medication. It's so relaxing and reassuring.
I also have severe anxiety disorder and when I found this my heart jumped for joy! The tv series has been strong medicine for me for years also. Much ❤ and peace to you my anxiety brother/sister.
This just showed up on my feed! Im so happy! My 4th grade teacher read these books to our class. I loved them so much that I bought the complete set and read them to my children before bed when they were young. I have kept them for many years. Ill be 70 in March. I absolutely cant wait to listen again!!!!❤😊🎉
This took me back to the late 1940’s, when I read this book. 😊 I read all of her books 📚. The young children of today should hear these story. Love them ❤.
Well I'm not too young anymore LoL but in elementary school in the 80's I read all these books and they were still popular. I never had kids so I don't know about after that.
Im only 23 but this series meant a lot to my childhood as well! I grew up and went to school in Wisconsin so we had a whole unit in elementary school on the laura ingalls books ^_^, rest assured, it very much lives on as I plan to share it with my future kids
I'm 70 years old and I remember my Mother bought me the whole series as a child. I remember curling up in bed reading these books. I loved them! I have a vivid imagination and was transported into her books as if I were there. Wonderful series to experience.❤❤❤
My God.... this channel... an insomniac's paradise! I stumbled here accidentally, popped in my earbuds, closed my eyes and listened. Even the tiny inner bits of me that never sleep, found rest.... to the nucleus of my cells. I subscribed and checked out your playlist and could feel the peace and rest in every title. THANK YOU!
Same! I was 5 decade insomniac running in 3-4 per day but listening to these stories shut down my internal thoughts. These are a true blessing, I sleep 7 hrs now.😊
This. Is. Wonderful. I have read this series more times than I'll ever know. I read them to my children as they were growing up. Two of Laura's books have been read so far to my youngest grandsons. You have no idea how I am looking forward to having someone read this to me! Thank you!
🛌 Your voice is so beautifully relaxing, I know if I listen to your stories I will sleep or at least relax for a while. I suffer with insomnia and haven’t found anything else that helps me sleep even if it’s for a few hours. Thank you 🙏 xx
That's the way it goes sometimes! You probably should take a break, and listen to a different story, Then come back to this one at some later date, and you may find it suits your mood better,
Not meaning to be all serious, but good sleep is so important and I discovered why I didn't sleep for most of my life and now I sleep like a baby!! It was TRAUMA - CPTSD! I had no idea!! I thought I was just anxious and had Bipolar!! Maybe you can solve sleep trouble and doze like a Pro!! It's sometimes very curable! Good stories do help❤ Good Luck
Thank you so much!! Your voice soothes me into deep sleep, I suffer from insomnia and your voice has changed my nights..... I was so fortunate to stumble upon your channel.... I can't say thank you too much. blessing's and prayer's to you
When I was little my Mom bought me the whole set of the Little House series. I loved reading them. I read them over and over, finding something new each time. When my Daughter was around 5 years old, my Mom pulled them out of the book shelf and read them to her when she would spend the night with her granny. It’s still my daughters fondest memory of her granny. I enjoyed this so much. It took me back to my pink bedroom when I first read it. 🥰❤️
My mother read this book to me chapter by chapter at bedtime probably in 1968. I think I was nine when I received the entire set for my birthday. I devoured the Little House Books, reading them in my bed. Later as an adult, I read every bit of historical information on Laura that was printed including about anything about her married life or her daughter. I never thought to re-read these books until this audio book pooped up in my feed. I thought it must be too baby-ish to enjoy now in my 60's but I decided to listen to a little bit and now I am on chapter 5. I am loving this book again. Thank you so much for doing this audio book the voice is perfectly wonderful and sweet.
My Parents read her books and just about every vacation we went to Mansfield, Mo to see Laura and Almanzos home. Im thoroughly enjoying listening to this, such a calm voice ❤🥰
I listen every night. Now I’ve got my husband listening. We never make it far as your voice is so soothing. Lol I love the graphics at the beginning too. Thank you and God bless. ❤😊
I loved these books as a child, my youngest daughter fell in love with the show when she was small. I was blessed to visit the ingalls homestead in south dakota when i was 8. So many wonderful memories associated with these books ❤
I remember being little, my momma bought me every book Laura Ingles Wilder wrote and she would make us hot chocolate and climb in the bed getting cozy and she would read me a chapter or two every night. I miss those times so much. Thank you for this it brings back such good memories...
Thanks so much for this! Your voice is perfect for voicing Laura. My favorite chapter was the Dance at Grandpa's. It had me dreaming of maple sugar and its many, many delicious uses. I hope you will do the rest of the series!
I loved the entire series, I’ve read them several times since I was about seven years old. As an adult, I read them again every time I feel the need for a dose of wholesome family life and a trip back through time.
I was thinking of doing this, yet I don't have audio recording equipment. Being a former teacher of young children, I miss the joy of reading delightful books to them. I just read "A Long Winter" to my furry children. They seem to enjoy it. My mother alao read the series to us children in the 70''s and we quickly feel asleep so I missed ao much.😂 Quickly asleep, I missed all the educational details of life back then, each perfectly described process of daily survival. Laura Ingalls Wilder was not only a brave and intelligent woman, she was a pioneer , educator and historian. Thanks for your reading. It is well done. God Bless you.
I’ve put this or your reading of Little House On The Prairie most nights to help me fall asleep. I hope you’re able to upload the rest of the series. You have a lovely, soothing voice. That and the lack of background music is so relaxing!
aww thanks for sharing this lovely comment. it makes me happy to know you’re enjoying the series. and yes the next one will be up hopefully this month so stay tuned. I hope you’ve turned on the notification bell 💕😊😘
The Little House books have been a favorite since my childhood. I really enjoy your voice and manner in narrating. PLEASE PLEASE consider recording others in the series. I can’t find any version I like as much as yours!
Your reading is BETTER than the Little House on the Prairie reader. Bless him, he can barely read, stumbles here and there. I'd rather listen to YOU! Again and again.... Oh please, reconsider! Competition is thoroughly American--and Canadian--and nearly global and results in a better product. 🙂
Thank you so much!! I hope you read all of the books! I’ve listened to other readers of the books, but none compare to your reading. Your voice, your reading skills, and your music are so pleasurable to listen too!!!
I was raised on a farm in the 60s and 70s. We raised and butchered our beef,pork and chickens. We could have gone to grocery store where we would not have a clue how these animals were fed or what they were fed. I still do the same as many other country families still do. For those of you who think this is cruel will be in big trouble when the grocery stores are empty as they almost were just a couple yrs ago!!! I urge you to learn how to do this as times are getting very dark. I was in Ukraine 13 yrs ago and every family was growing their own vegetables and their own meat.
It would be wonderful if you could read the rest of Laura's books.. My Grandparents gave me a set of these books when I was 10, I would read everything I could get my hands on and these became my favorite series. Your voice soothes me like no other. I have insomnia and I'm an old lady who can't fall asleep to most narrator's voices, they are too fast or slow, too animated or droll, etc...... So I now drift off to sleep with the "play all" button, lol, Thank you from the bottom of my heart Joanne.
So, while i was growing up, my school in India had Little House on the Prairie in the library. All of us absolutely loved it, thanks for this reminder 🤗
@@paula3406I grew up in the foothills in Simi Valley, California. The set for the show was in the hills behind my house. Visited more than once. Also a favorite show of mine ❤❤❤
Oh wow, I just LOVE this, Joanne! Sooo soothing! These books were my absolute favourites as a kid! I am shocked by how many details come back to me as I listen. I remembered the name of the doll Laura got for Christmas, I remembered the bulldog, I remembered the china shepherdess. I have fallen asleep to this twice and I am not even close to halfway done lol
This one of the most beautiful stories that I have heard in a long time. Watched the series on TV when it was popular, but never read the books. They are fantastic, and I love this reading. Although this might be wonderful to fall to sleep to, I really want to listen to the story and let my imagination see the story unfold in my mind. Really, really good. Thank you for posting. ❤😊
What a joy to find this! I loved all the 'little house' books growing up, have read them all to my daughter. Have drfted off to sleep with a smile last 2 nights, Thank you so much ❤
I’m so glad this came up on my phone. I will listen when I rest from my chores. The beginning is so interesting and soothing. I wish I could salt and smoke meat with confidence. I have goats, and only a small freezer.
It's amazing how well you read. Soothing and comforting are indeed the right words to describe it. May I suggest Bram Stoker's Dracula. There's a gentleman who reads a version who has the voice of the Count down to a T. I also enjoyed the version of Hound of the Baskervilles. 🙂
Aww me too Kennedy 🥰 Get soo excited and happy when sweet Joanne uploads new beautiful Amazing Sweet stories!😍😃 Hope you're ok and sending you lots of healing prayers and Big hugs lots of love your way❤🙏🇦🇺
I’m up with two little sick girls- doing laundry loads between changing bowls for my sweethearts to throw up. Thank you for making this video, giving them something to make the night special. They love it!
🥰😊💝 I usually listen to guided meditations to help me reset my mind and nervous system after stressful days. They work. Somewhat. But, your beautiful, soothing voice filled me with a sense of trust and well-being as you read aloud one of my favorite childhood stories After listening to you read, Little House in the Big Woods, last night, I just wanted to spend the day listening to youi read all of the Little House books. This is the first time in a long while that I have felt safe, secure, and completely relaxed. ❤ This feeling of serenity is extremely rare for me. It feels good. Thank you for offering such a soothing, enriching respite through this lovely story.
hello Rhonda and thank you for sharing your experience with me! I can’t tell you how much this meant to me. The way you are feeling is exactly the reason o began doing this. your lovely comment keeps me inspired to keep making these videos. I am so happy to know this brought you some comfort!! much love, Joanne ❤️
I remember seeing these books in the library when I was a kid and thinking they looked boring. Early this morning, I had trouble falling back to sleep, and YT recommended this video. I love your voice, and the story is so interesting. I think I would have been horrified (in a good way) and fascinated by how they had to survive. Too bad I didn't give these books a chance years ago. Oh, it did help me fall back to sleep 😊
Joanne, lm in Australia and never had these stories as a child. They are incredibly pleasurable even though lm well into my seventies. Thank you for giving so much pleasure to many people. Your voice is a gift. Xx💕🌷
Your voice seems very fitting to this timeless classic . Looking forward to listening to the rest of your audios to the little house series . Lovely, thank you!
Thank you so much for this! I’ve been listening to little parts of this every night to soothe my nerves before submitting my dissertation, and it has really helped me to sleep!
I’m 19 but I vividly remember reading this in elementary. I didn’t really like to read nor did I fully finish this book…but I just remember reading this book & feeling warm, cozy and in love.
I have the hardback book series I bought when I was 10 yrs old doing chores and babysitting. We’d go once a week to a little store called TG&Y, I’d bring my saved money in and buy a book. I’m 62 now. Going to give the set to my 8 yr old granddaughter🩷
You have the most soothing and relaxing voice I have ever heard. I have listened to this story ( it’s my favorite) many times by many readers but you are by far the best. Your soft voice made me pay attention to details I have missed the first 100 times I have listened to this book. Keep them coming . I have so enjoyed this!!
Aww this such a beautiful sweet comment and Soo heart-warming too!!🥰💕 Joanne is Truely simply Amazing Awsome and the Sweetest lady!🥰🥰🙏 So much appreciateson goes out to her!! Lots of Sweet love hugs to you Indigo moon❤❤🌜🌛🤗
@@carliejanetabone aww God bless you! Thank you for your lovely comment Carlie! Yes, Joanne is absolutely amazing! Love and blessings to you and yours 🙏🏻🥰💞
@@mount-of-olives awww you are just the Sweetest!🥰❤ God bless you too sweetie!And you are so welcome your comment is really sweet and cute just beautiful! Oh yes sooo for sure Joanne is just incredibly Amazing!!😍🙏💕 Lots of love and Sweetest Blesseings to you and yours too!!🥰💗🇦🇺🤗
I found this and thought yes fall asleep to being read one of my favorite books and I stayed up til 1am listening. I know the story so well as I had read the entire series to my own kids as well as reading it when I was a kid but i loved having it read to me. Finally had to turn it off and turn on a fan to fall asleep. I love it!
Thanks so much Joanne ❤ it's a beautiful story as I've said you give us wonderful stories always from old classics or forgotten stories to the stories we've never heard including all the beautiful ones from different countries and cultures all over the world ❤ Thank you and I hope you continue Maida's?? Little shop that's adorable 🥰🥰🥰 Love from Australia 🇦🇺🇹🇱💖
I absolutely love this book, added to your wonderful voice. Thank you so very much, PLEASE read the others in the series. One of my favourite parts is when the boys sneak out and ride their sleigh, run into the pig and have it squealing all the way down. The father must have nearly died laughing, ( in private).❤
Yes! The second book "Little House on the Prairie" should be live on my channel by weekend of the 14th hopefully!! Working long hours to get it all edited and I hope I will have it up soon :)
What did we do to deserve this?! 😆 I'm sooo looking forward listening to this tonight as I fall asleep!
Sooo looking forward to listening to this tonight and snuggle cozy warm blankets and drift off into Sleepy Dreamy land😌😴😃💗💗
Riiiight??? Dang I'm so happy lol😂❤
You've been amazing listeners and extremely loyal and supportive and I appreciate you all so much!! Enjoy :) xo
@@relaxforawhile Awww Joanne we all love and appreciate you sooo much with a Big pink sparkly Glittering heart of love and Gratitude to you!!Very thankful and will always be very Loyal and supportive To you Joanne!! Even more love hugs!💖💖🤩😍🙏🙏
Lol right?! I’m very thankful!
Im 75 years old, and my sight is failing. What a blessing to sit back. Listen and enjoy!
I hope you are living a splendid life, Suzanne! ❤
God bless you
💓💓💓
Yes
Love this❤
Thank you for this. In 1966, my third grade teacher read this book to us a chapter a day after lunch when we had our heads on our desks for a rest. This book is the only one I specifically recall.
We must have had the same teacher! There were some great ones back then!
I had a similar experience....head down... Listening to The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. ❤
My third grade teacher did this in 1963.
My fourth grade teacher read it to us! I was spellbound💕
My third grade teacher read us this and Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing by Judy Blume…
I’m 61. I read all the books when I was a little girl. I just loved them. I remember the simple little illustrations. I wish the world was still this simple.
I do also,🙂
Hello, "Generation Jones" friend! I'm also 61 (born in 1963). I never read the books, but it was one of my favorite shows!😊❤
Its the same world, needs us just like it always did. Simple enough. We break our asz doing other things now but the world needs us just the same. Nothing that way has changed. Beautiful reading, transporting.
My beloved 4th grade teacher, Mrs. Bledsoe, read our class these books. They meant the world to me, because I had never been read to before, nor did I own any children's books. They opened my mind to another world and my imagination. I am excited to listen to this story again, and to remember Mrs.Bledsoe, who is long since passed, but never forgotten.
Beautiful Tribute ❤
My god whose parents didn't or don't read to a child, to children? I'm so sorry, I'm glad you enjoy this
My 6th grade teacher read these books to us as well as the Nancy drew and hardy boys. She read these to us the last 30 mins of class everyday.
One strong Corona Mass Ejection can bring us back to these days in blink of an eye.
We can't wait till you read the next complete book in the series. Your voice is so calming and relaxing. I listen to you every night as doe's my husband since he laying beside me. Now he says which LHOTP story he'd like to listen to lol.

Having Joanne read to you when you're in serious pain and you can't think about anything else is priceless 💕
True !
I understand the word " pain ".
Anything to take away pain is pure joy !
May your sleep bring dream smiles 🐾😊
So sorry to hear that hope you pain will ease in time God Bless you
Who keeps coming back to this because you've fallen asleep listening and love simplistic stories?❤
Me too, but her voice is so soothing.
I am 65 and these have ALWAYS been my favorite books. My mom used to read a chapter to us every night at bedtime.❤
Oh! you were lucky I didn’t discover the books till I was an adult and read them to my girls
I just think how lucky she was to have a mom who read to her.
i have debillitating anxiety. Ive read these books multiple times as a teenager and adult. Your voice is better than medication. It's so relaxing and reassuring.
I also have severe anxiety disorder and when I found this my heart jumped for joy! The tv series has been strong medicine for me for years also. Much ❤ and peace to you my anxiety brother/sister.
Anxiety is the worst!
Have peaceful and pleasant dreams!!! 💕
All of us are listening together, is how I think of this.... Wishing peace to my fellow anxiety overcomers.❤
Robin, I am the same as you. I’ve read these books, for anxiety, many times, as an adult. I’ll always love these books.
Thank you for writing something I couldn’t.
This just showed up on my feed! Im so happy! My 4th grade teacher read these books to our class. I loved them so much that I bought the complete set and read them to my children before bed when they were young. I have kept them for many years. Ill be 70 in March. I absolutely cant wait to listen again!!!!❤😊🎉
I am so happy you found the channel! I will be reading all of the books! I hope you’ll stop by often to listen. 💕🙏🏻😘
This was so wonderful!!! Can you read the rest of the books I would be so grateful 😇
That's my intention!
Awesome!
@@relaxforawhileI've subscribed now
Yes Please! ❤️
I have listened to 3 other books in the series, and the narrator does not have the same calming voice as she does.
This took me back to the late 1940’s, when I read this book. 😊 I read all of her books 📚. The young children of today should hear these story. Love them ❤.

I grew up on this series!!! Shared them with my 7 Children and 16 grandchildren!!!!❤❤❤❤❤ love it!!!!!🎉❤🎉❤🎉
This was wonderful! Please read more of the Little House Books!
God bless you for taking the time to do this. 🙏
I'm 70 years old and I remember my Mother bought me the whole series as a child. I remember curling up in bed reading these books. I loved them! I have a vivid imagination and was transported into her books as if I were there. Wonderful series to experience.❤❤❤

Same! I was 5 decade insomniac running in 3-4 per day but listening to these stories shut down my internal thoughts. These are a true blessing, I sleep 7 hrs now.😊
I can not count how many times I read this series as a child. This is such a treat.
This. Is. Wonderful. I have read this series more times than I'll ever know. I read them to my children as they were growing up. Two of Laura's books have been read so far to my youngest grandsons. You have no idea how I am looking forward to having someone read this to me! Thank you!
One of the first books I ever read when I was a child I’m now 52 what a treat thank u
🛌 Your voice is so beautifully relaxing, I know if I listen to your stories I will sleep or at least relax for a while.
I suffer with insomnia and haven’t found anything else that helps me sleep even if it’s for a few hours.
Thank you 🙏 xx
It is having the opposite effect on me. Too childish and whimsical sounding and I was looking forward to it. Can't keep my disappointment to myself.
That's the way it goes sometimes! You probably should take a break, and listen to a different story, Then come back to this one at some later date, and you may find it suits your mood better,
@@sheilahammond4260 Good points!!!
Not meaning to be all serious, but

You might try an audiobible app if you're a believer. Psalms always put me to sleep!

I hope, in time, you will also read By the Banks of Plum Creek, and Little House on the Prairie 🎉
Yes!! ❤😂❤
This was my fav books as a child - still have the set. 😊
My favorite show when I was a little girl 😊❤
What a great classic story and show!😊❤🙏🌹👍🐼🫐😅💮🍒🦉🦜🦆⭐⭐💯🌟🌝🌞🤠🥰🤩😄😆😃😄😎😻🙊😸😺💫💖💟🧠👣
Same!
@@paula3406I grew up in the foothills in Simi Valley, California. The set for the show was in the hills behind my house. Visited more than once. Also a favorite show of mine ❤❤❤
I really enjoyed this. My mother read us the little house books as bedtime stories when we were kids and I read them to my children too.
Oh wow, I just LOVE this, Joanne! Sooo soothing! These books were my absolute favourites as a kid! I am shocked by how many details come back to me as I listen. I remembered the name of the doll Laura got for Christmas, I remembered the bulldog, I remembered the china shepherdess.
I have fallen asleep to this twice and I am not even close to halfway done lol
Thank you for reading this book. It is so comforting
This one of the most beautiful stories that I have heard in a
long time. Watched the series on TV when it was popular, but
never read the books. They are fantastic, and I love this reading. Although this might be wonderful to fall to sleep to, I really want to listen to the story and let my imagination see the story unfold in my mind. Really, really good. Thank you for posting. ❤😊
Glad you enjoyed it!
WE need more of this... very comforting and peaceful. Thank you !
My Grandma knew her. She was a regular person. I think relatable due to her down to earth style.
Thank you ☺️ your voice soothe me and the story takes me back to childhood. Excellent escape from adulthood troubles. 👍😊
Just visited a big woods. Now I have context for Laura's story in my heart!!!
What a joy to find this! I loved all the 'little house' books growing up, have read them all to my daughter. Have drfted off to sleep with a smile last 2 nights, Thank you so much ❤
I love listening to this, but had to start again as I keep falling asleep! Mega stressed at the minute, and this is a huge help. Thank you so much.😊
I’m so glad this came up on my phone. I will listen when I rest from my chores. The beginning is so interesting and soothing. I wish I could salt and smoke meat with confidence. I have goats, and only a small freezer.
It's amazing how well you read. Soothing and comforting are indeed the right words to describe it. May I suggest Bram Stoker's Dracula. There's a gentleman who reads a version who has the voice of the Count down to a T. I also enjoyed the version of Hound of the Baskervilles. 🙂
I GET SO EXCITED WHEN YOU POST 🥰 I am not feeling well today and was planning on taking a nap so this will be perfect!
Aww me too Kennedy 🥰 Get soo excited and happy when sweet Joanne uploads new beautiful Amazing Sweet stories!😍😃 Hope you're ok and sending you lots of healing prayers and Big hugs lots of love your way❤🙏🇦🇺
I am sorry to hear that Kennedy! Feel better soon love xo
I’m up with two little sick girls- doing laundry loads between changing bowls for my sweethearts to throw up.
Thank you for making this video, giving them something to make the night special. They love it!
🥰😊💝 I usually listen to guided meditations to help me reset my mind and nervous system after stressful days.
They work. Somewhat. But, your beautiful, soothing voice filled me with a sense of trust and well-being as you read aloud one of my favorite childhood stories
After listening to you read, Little House in the Big Woods, last night, I just wanted to spend the day listening to youi read all of the Little House books.
This is the first time in a long while that I have felt safe, secure, and completely relaxed. ❤ This feeling of serenity is extremely rare for me. It feels good.
Thank you for offering such a soothing, enriching respite through this lovely story.
hello Rhonda and thank you for sharing your experience with me! I can’t tell you how much this meant to me. The way you are feeling is exactly the reason o began doing this. your lovely comment keeps me inspired to keep making these videos. I am so happy to know this brought you some comfort!!
much love, Joanne ❤️
@@relaxforawhile .... BLESSINGS be upon you for the gifts of peace and pleasure you bring to others.
Amazing quality and uninterrupted, perfect 👌
I remember seeing these books in the library when I was a kid and thinking they looked boring. Early this morning, I had trouble falling back to sleep, and YT recommended this video. I love your voice, and the story is so interesting. I think I would have been horrified (in a good way) and fascinated by how they had to survive. Too bad I didn't give these books a chance years ago. Oh, it did help me fall back to sleep 😊
Oh my stars, thank you!! What a gift!! ❤❤
Very nicely read! Many thanks to all who worked on this and posted it for us. Bless you all!♥
Grew up devouring these books and Jack London. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart.❤
I slept so well thank you 😊
Joanne, lm in Australia and never had these stories as a child. They are incredibly pleasurable even though lm well into my seventies. Thank you for giving so much pleasure to many people. Your voice is a gift. Xx💕🌷
❤Goody goody goody🫶🏼 Thank you for sharing. Delightful, warm, and wholesome - Refreshing and comforting.

Thanks for listening!! Your support means so much!!
Thank you so much for this! I’ve been listening to little parts of this every night to soothe my nerves before submitting my dissertation, and it has really helped me to sleep!
Somehow this started playing last night as i was listening to Get Sleepy stories. It was so simple and sweet and just lovely to help me to sleep ❤😊
so happy it doing you! 😘💕🙏🤩 Glad you enjoy it!
I remember reading this book as a child. I loved it and still do - 60 years later!
I was a young girl and got Little House In The Big Woods at the Library. What a treasure I discovered ❤
I’m 19 but I vividly remember reading this in elementary. I didn’t really like to read nor did I fully finish this book…but I just remember reading this book & feeling warm, cozy and in love.
your voice is so peaceful and amazing. thanks for reading 1 of my favorite books to me! its amazing to listen to right before i go to bed :D
I have the hardback book series I bought when I was 10 yrs old doing chores and babysitting. We’d go once a week to a little store called TG&Y, I’d bring my saved money in and buy a book. I’m 62 now. Going to give the set to my 8 yr old granddaughter🩷
no music! I LOVE you.
This voice is so relaxing. One of the best narrations I've ever heard.
wow thank you!!🙏
Thanks so much for this 🙏
I'm 53 & read this series when I was 11 or 12. I watched the series on TV with my parents too. I'm so glad I found this to fall asleep to ❤
You changed the thumbnail! Love it!!!
I hope you do more books from this series! So comforting, I used to read these as a little girl and they were so cozy.
I promise I will very soon!!
You have the most soothing and relaxing voice I have ever heard. I have listened to this story ( it’s my favorite) many times by many readers but you are by far the best. Your soft voice made me pay attention to details I have missed the first 100 times I have listened to this book. Keep them coming . I have so enjoyed this!!
Mad respect for this PRODUCTION.
Cheers :)
Laura Ingalls Wilder is my ancestor

I found this and thought yes fall asleep to being read one of my favorite books and I stayed up til 1am listening. I know the story so well as I had read the entire series to my own kids as well as reading it when I was a kid but i loved having it read to me. Finally had to turn it off and turn on a fan to fall asleep. I love it!
This is awesome- this book started my love for reading .
Leading me to teach English Lit. ❤

All happiness to you
Thank you
I love this book. One of my all time favorites. Always read this into me 20s.
Fabulous narration! ❤
Thank you so much 😀
I absolutely love this book, added to your wonderful voice. Thank you so very much, PLEASE read the others in the series. One of my favourite parts is when the boys sneak out and ride their sleigh, run into the pig and have it squealing all the way down. The father must have nearly died laughing, ( in private).❤
Yes! The second book "Little House on the Prairie" should be live on my channel by weekend of the 14th hopefully!! Working long hours to get it all edited and I hope I will have it up soon :)
@@relaxforawhile thank you very much for all your extraordinary work
