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.

These are a few of my favorite things…

Clotheslines sagging with clean drying diapers over freshly mowed grass (and dogs that photo-bomb),

little boys making mud pies and the fruits of their labors,

has-been hair do’s that aren’t anymore…

Flowering chives and buzzing bees,

and sisters pooling their talents for birthday present pictures,

promises of sweet things to come,

brilliant blue eyes and a face full of freckles,

and two year olds who love green gum and (fraternal) twins,

and one year olds who nap longer because the kids are outside,

 

--- these are a few of my favorite [spring] things.
