bring it on..the joys of a huge family

I love when we get smiles and sweet comments from strangers about our big family. When we are out in public it never fails..we get stares. Maybe we're as cute as I thought we were!

BUT..once in a awhile I get dumb questions. Real out there moments.

" Do you know what causes that"?

Yes we do and we have fun doin' it.

"Are you gonna keep trying for a girl?"

Trust me if it hasn't happened yet, I don't think "trying" is working.

"Are they all yours?"

No, they just keep following me home like stray puppies.

"You've got your hands full!"

Yes I sure do... and I like it that way.

" Were they all planned?"

Did you just ask what I think you asked?

and my favorite....

"Better you than me!"

I agree.

Usually takes them a minute to get it. I love waiting for the expression on their face as they realize I just insulted them.


Having a house full of kids and them growing up with alot of siblings is a blessing and an adventure. It requires structure, organization, team work and patience.

It also requires a Mama that has everything at her disposal to help her life run more smoothly...right babe??

I cannot wait until Uncle Sam delivers. My project list is getting longer and I have to limit myself!

A bigger table and much more seating is amongst the top 10. I'm trying to bribe my husband into building it for me because the table I want is 600 buckaroos alone. Nope no can do.

This awesome lady makes Knock-off plans of popular furniture and storage items. I love love Land of Nod bedding and furniture. She has plans for the bunk beds too!

But if he could just start off with a farmhouse table...pleeeease? Benches too??

I wanted to enter a contest on this blog for making something with ruffles which I love!

I showed my neighbor this from you guessed it Land of Nod and I thought I would try it for the contest and for the kid's rooms?



Those curtains are my favorite!



Wish me luck!

Just one picture to complete my post.

I love homework time now. Used to despise it. Damian would not cooperate even though he knew what to do. It was a battle. But now that we have taken different steps in our treatment for him it is actually alot of fun for both of them.







Having an involved Daddy always helps!
