Raising a Large Family

I found this book a few years ago, when expecting our 5th child gave me a strange sense of isolation. Dr. Schlaerth, herself a mom of seven, has written a book that is both practical, giving attention to keeping up with household tasks, and touching, giving voice to moms of large families who would not normally seek to publish their own experiences/opinions. I only wish an updated version would be released, as new opportunities (homeschooling) and challenges (economy) are realities the author could not have considered upon first writing the book.

I have purchased this book for not only myself but now for many other friends of mine having more children. It is easy to read even when really busy with all of the things you have to do raising a large family. Everyone has found it helpful. I found it really guilt reducing by offering good suggestions.
