HI, I am mom to 5 wonderful kids... 4 boys and one girl... 19...18....17....15...14 daughter is by far more work than all the boys put together ... at least so far. oldest three are boys then daughter then step son. I taught them at home until they were in jr high and wanted to go to school with their friends. Oldest son has just figured out that public school only taught them how to take the wasl and not how to do anything for college :)

Aloha,

I have 7 kids! 5 daughters ages, 19, 16, 13, 11 & 7 and 2 sons ages, 10 & 8.
I'm home-schooling 6 of them, the oldest is in college on the mainland. While I fantasize about them all being grown and on their own, I'm sure my life would be dull and boring!

Hi everyone! I have 4. Usually that's a lot, but I'm happy to see myself in the norm in this group! Mine are~ 12, 10, 7 & 5. 2 older boys and 2 younger girls.
Our whole family practices Tae Kwon Do. We are at different belt levels and (I never thought I'd say this) I LOVE IT!!!!

I'm always astonished at how different they all are! We've been married for 18 years and also have a 3 year old yellow lab named Max. Life is a whirlwind!

I have four wonderful children. 31, 30 20 & 10. I also come from a huge extended family as my Mom is one of TWELVE!
I have 36 first cousins on one side. I also have SIX sibs.
This is how I learned to multi task. It was survival in my family.
I work running our family business and have built a JEWELRY BUSINESS like an elf at all hours of the night. www.throughmariseyes.com is my site w/ over 250 pieces on line! I love it because it is all mine created, designed and executed by me! I truly believe that all women need to tap into their creative side. It is theraputic. I also am a PUBLISHED AUTHOR. I wrote The Healing(true tales of a food addict)- Trafford Publishing. I designed the cover and am selling in U.s., Canada & U.K. How do I find the time? I used to write or sketch a design while waiting for my kids at school...In bed at night...I also love to stay up for a bit when everone is asleep. I feel that it is my time to exhale and take care of Mari. PS I always carry a pen and a notebook for IDEAS!

I have five children. A 17 year old, 14 year old, 9, 7 and 4 year old. I'm very fortunate. I call it "managed, happy chaos."

Hello everyone! I was invited to join the Larger Families group. How exciting! A place where I finally fit in! I have seven kids and, yes, my life is pretty crazy, too. Check out the video I just loaded on my profile. Also, I'm very new at this Twitter thing, so maybe you ladies can help me out here. Thanks!
