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.

Daddy’s away… again. And finally:

One year and three days ago, I posted this post: http://balesf5.blogspot.com/2011/01/when-daddy-is-away-girls-will-find.html

Today, I can finally post this picture:

I love it.

And now, so I can place your talent admiration squarely where it belongs… in March, my mother offered to make the quilt. I declined. In July, she offered again. Still I dumbly declined. And this fall, I said something along the lines of “Moooooooooooooooommmmmmmmmmmmmm?”

And without batting an eye, she took my bags of fabric rectangles I hadn’t touched for many months and bailed me out.

So I made curtains to match.

Did I mention I love it? Thanks, Mom. I owe you one a million.
