Life....Hmmmm....

I have been thinking about a lot of things lately.  A few things in particular have really been impressed on my heart as well.  I always know the things in my heart come from a higher power.  Those are not the things I could have come up with on my own.   But they get placed there and wait for me to take hold.

One of the things I have been thinking about is an idea my best friend and amazing mother of 11+ children gave to me.  She suggested the two of us start a blog, talking about the trials, joys, every day life of raising a big family!  I love it!  And I think other people would too!  I think people are naturally just curious but also would be surprised at some of the things we experience on a daily basis.  And maybe it would help someone feel better when they are having a lousy day to read what's happening in our family and realize life might not be as bad as they thought!  Haha, the grass is always greener......

Now don't get me wrong.  Raising a large family is not always a trial, in fact for the most part it is pure bliss!  But when the rains come, it is usually intensified because of many different factors and personalities.  I think it would also be nice to know that another family is experiencing the same thing your family may be going through!  Maybe one of you will share an idea for something that worked in your home.  Maybe we can give an idea that will be helpful to you!  It's a win/win for all of us...right?  :) 

Now to think of a name for our blog......hey, here is your first chance to get involved!  Do you have a suggestion for a cute/clever name?  We would love to hear it!!

There are other things still rolling around in my brain but I will save those for another day!
