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.

Try ‘normal’.

Our house has a central air unit. It was broken when we bought the house, and being huge fans of the 100+ degrees our Missouri summers provide, we’ve yet to fix it.

Ruby told me how to fix it today. (Mind you, it was 82 in the house and quite comfortable with just the ceiling fans.)

“Just change the batteries. It probably uses the biggest size. If you put new ones in, and turn it on ‘normal’, it will probably work.”

She thinks in terms of broken toys and the thrill of starting the dishwasher on ‘normal’.
