Recently I randomly clicked on a referral link to our blog just to find who had sent a few views our way. Surprisingly it was an acidic, negative blog post all about our family! Maybe you would think I would respond in anger, frustration and tears. But rather I was gently surprised that anyone would spend an entire blogpost on us, I giggled at some of the sentiments, thoroughly entertained by Continue Reading
What’s the world’s greatest security system?
My husband and I took a trip just a month or so ago and my usual frustration with security came up as they scanned me like a criminal. It reminded me of the times I've been 'assaulted' at airport security before, always it seems with 5-10 little children in tow and at least half of the time traveling by myself with them, once I even had to nurse a baby while waiting in security - and being Continue Reading

Dad came to bed by about 6 am for a little rest before jumping up to work all day long to finish Continue Reading

We've really been struggling with this issue lately, and I decided to start polling some of the moms I know!" She continues, "I know there's no easy answer to the question of technology for teens - although I'm Continue Reading
The After-School Routine
After 20 years of parenting, now 10 children, we've learned a little about the great importance of the after-school routine! Two years ago we were at our high, 8 children in school from preschool to senior year, with the challenge of new-born twins. I've held this teaching close to my heart as a guide and I have found it to be a fantastic strategy to parenting, it is from a list of 10 ways moms Continue Reading
