    Hi and thanks so much for your warm welcomeYes, 9 kiddos, and they all still live with us;I'm in no hurry for them to leave the nest. They range in age from 1yr to 19yrs. 5 boys,4girls and we've been homeschooling for 7 years now. I love to also crochet, knit,sew,cross stitch and create jewelry ;also into raising rabbits and I dream of the day when we'll be able to move to a homestead where we can have 100"s of the little critters. I've been married for 20 yrs and currently live in Corpus Christi Tx. I have to blame my frugal habits on the tightwad gazette, after reading the book,frugality has become an addiction! I'll be jumping in soon with ideas

    I figured by your user name that you had very active children!

    I'm so glad you joined us here. I have a good friend that is the mother of 9 kids and has found herself trying to raise them on her own. She also homeschools, as do I. I have learned so much from here and hope to learn from you also.

    Welcome to the village. Your user name speaks it all I think with 9 kids. What a blessing. Were a homeschooling family as well.

    Can't wait to get to know you.

    What a cool username. LOL, I think the most children I have had living in my home at one time was six back when I was a foster parent. Boy, that was an experience and I loved every minute of it. Woohoo, talk about laundry!

    I'm Carolyn and I can't wait to share ideas and smiles with you.

    Have fun and enjoy!
