a big (little) family: New sanitary guidelines. Highly recommended.

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.

New sanitary guidelines. Highly recommended.

Blaine came to me the other day with news I’m still not certain I wanted to hear.

“Charlotte emptied her potty chair by herself.”

Ok. Not exactly what I’d like, but fine.

“She spilled a little.”

Perfect. I’ll mop.

“She wiped it up herself.”

With what?!

“She used the hand towel.”

And then she put it back.

Hand towels are overrated. I’m a fan of the drip dry. I thought it was because it’s faster. Turns out, it’s for sanitary reasons and I didn’t even know.
