Of all my earthly blessings, my family ranks highest. God has given me a husband who is wise, loving, and walks in integrity, plus twelve terrific children and five wonderful grandsons who are the joy of my life. Come visit us at our family website, where you’ll discover a wealth of ideas for raising kids, getting organized, saving money, home schooling, and making great family memories:
What a great website! Looking forward to reading more – I just subscribed.
Let me ask am new on this blog but do whites also have so many children? I thought it was for only Africans and Asians. (No offense here a purely African)
Some whites do (ourselves included), although large families are not nearly so common in the US now as they were 100 years ago.
This is quite true, that the world’s European populations have been having smaller and smaller families. My grandmother was born before at the outset of WWII and is the oldest of nine. She and one of her brothers each had four children and the rest had between 0 and 3 children each. My parents are highly unusual (among Whites) in having nine children. My three American aunts have five children between them and my three Irish aunts have two children between them.
Also lol about “point number 2“!
Lovely… I agree with all of the above. I am 43, and I look much older than you do! I love your posts… Thank you for the inspiration.
This is a great website. You have a wonderful family. I do precana at my parish but am looking to start a group based on the series that I am a part of called “Wife After God”
I love ure family
I loved “that post,” by the way – and you are its poster child! Gold star for you! haa haa. You inspire me!
Oh, just to straighten out confusion, I am “s” from the comment before.
So, I’m turning 47 this year. We are basically the same age. Amazing. Jennifer, do you have any twins in there? I have 5 children. In child birth math – you are totally the winner! 🙂
No twins (yet 🙂 ), although they run in our family, and it’s my generation to have them. Time will tell….
Jennifer you look like you are in your thirties! I suppose that is mathematically possible if you married young and had a baby a year. Clue us in! (Even though I know it is not polite to ask.) Early 40’s??? 🙂
I’m actually pushing 48. If my appearance belies my age, it’s because of good genes and a literal interpretation of 1 Corinthians 7:3-5. Your compliment makes my day and validates the second point on this post.
Goodness me!! I was thinking the same thing! You are blessed with great genes! =) You certainly don’t look old enough to have 12 children, much less any grandchildren! You have a beautiful family. Just subscribed to you blog today…I’m excited! =)
You don’t look old enough to have all these wonderful children. Wow!
Thanks, Wendy. I certainly don’t FEEL old enough to have twelve kids (and four grand kids!), but my birth certificate assures me I am 🙂
