Primarily written by Adrienne, a homeschooling mother of seven, ages 10 and under. She chronicles life, laughs, struggles, and lessons learned as she raises a larger-than-most sized family and tries to figure out what she's doing day by day.

With occasional posts, Alexandra, Adrienne's older sister, writes of her ranch life in Nevada and raising four sons, ages 5 and under. Life is never dull and her boys have given her some pretty awesome stories to tell.

Stick around awhile, and you're sure to laugh, nod, smile, be encouraged, and see what life is like with a big (little) family.

Have your pie and eat it too. Quickly.

For 4th of July festivities, we went to friend’s home for a potluck.

Really though, forks might have been helpful.

Though maybe not nearly so much fun.

And Blaine’s beard was really needing a good oiling, I’m sure.

And Ruby may (or, ahem, may not) have wanted to eat a pie of her own…

Good times. Great friends. Fun day. Despite Ruby’s little meltdown. (And, if you must know, it was because I told her to fill her cup with water from one of two coolers, her choice, and Liberty stopped her from the cooler she’d chosen, because it was not labeled ‘water’. It was labeled H2O. Time for a little science lesson for Liberty… and a lesson in not melting down for Ruby.)
