LARGE FAMILIES

Note from some time ago:  One of my latest obsessions interests is figuring out how to survive and thrive as a mom of a large family.  I intend this to be a place for listing (and linking, where appropriate) things that have been a help to me in this area, or that I feel may be a help to others.  Many of these things may be useful whether your family happens to be large or small.  Just as a disclaimer, I don't agree with everything from all of these sources, but I think they're definitely worth looking at. 

Until I get the links below and a few other things I'm working on caught up, this will probably just be a place to link posts from the 4 Moms.  After that I hope to add a list of books, and possibly links to other blogs. [Note 11/30/12:  This page is still exclusively for the 4 Moms, and if I ever do add other things I will likely have to put them elsewhere.]

[This page last updated November 30, 2012.  Still working on links for the latter half or so of 2012.]

Blogs:

* 4 Moms, 35 Kids Posts *

http://www.smockityfrocks.com/category/4-moms

This is a group of four mom bloggers with large-family experience. Who are now going to be certain I'm stalking them. ;-)  I talk about them more hereI've listed what they've done in chronological order below, and below that provided a link to each post.  When I started doing this I didn't know it would continue for so long.  But I'm glad it has.  They should make it into a book. 

[Update 4/2012:  They now have a book out!! An ebook, called 4 Moms of 35+ Kids Answer Your Parenting Questions. Click to go to their new page, where you can purchase it!]
