It's always a blessing to hear such comments! I always try to let my kids know when someone says kind words & thank them for their behavior. I'll have to remember to comment the next family that I see that deserves one.... just knowing how encouraging it is to hear! Thanks for the reminder.

I'm a brand new blogger and I've really enjoyed reading your blog. I have 5 children - 2 girls and 3 boys. Our oldest was only 6 when we had our fifth child. I know very well what 'crazy busy' is. It is fun and encouraging to read about others' experiences who have been there. I also know about the 'looks' from the general public who disapprove of our large family - and the difference it makes when we receive a compliment regarding our children from a total stranger. It lifts me up and helps me continue to plug onward and upward. How much a positive word can do. I look forward to reading more.............. Becky

That was so nice! It is nice to hear those kinds of words especially when often you are given the other looks. Who cares how many kids someone has! We have a two large family's in our church, one with 5 kids and one with 6 and they are amazing! One kid, 10 kids I think it's wonderful all the way around!

Hi--I jumped on your blog from the MOH II loop. I so appreciated your candid comments about Catherine, Called Birdy. I'm loving your blog, and your pictures are BEAUTIFUL! I love photography, but I know nothing--that's someplace I'd really like to grow. I'll have to dig into your blog and see what tips you have. I think I might need more than a point-and-shoot, though, and then some idea of how to use it. Hmmmm. Thanks for sharing your life!
