I am interested in meeting other large homeschooling families. We live in a very rural area and are part of a small church, so I often feel isolated from anyone who shares common ground. I have met a couple of larger families on homestead blogger and have found it to be a great encouragement and inspiration to read their blogs and occasionally write to a few of them as well.

My husband and I have been married for about 17 years and have 10 children aged 15 months to (almost) 15 years old...four girls and six boys, (the last 5 being boys). We moved to a mountainous rural region in northcentral PA over 3 years ago after living in the busy Lancaster, PA area for a number of years.  We have always homeschooled and select our own curriculum from various publishers such as Saxon, Rod and Staff, A Beka, and Christian Liberty Press.  The older students are able to work independantly much of the time and are motivated in their studies, which has allowed me time to begin a small home business making goat milk soap from our dairy goat herd (just started last summer) and selling it locally. You can visit our family website at www.NaturallySoothing.com  to see some pictures of our family and homestead, and the products we currently have available.

Please help me find your blog by introducing yourself, and I look forward to meeting you!

I'm glad I stumbled upon your blog. I , too, am from PA. We use to live in York but as of a few years ago we moved way out into the country, right at the maryland line. You say you live in north central PA, my DH grew up in Sellingsgrove and danville. We take trips up there often to get his favorite ring bologna.
We are a large family also, not quite as many as you but half way there. We have 5, with the last two being twins. we are planning on having more.
I look forward to chatting with you and getting to know you better. Heck, with us being kind of close maybe someday we could get together. :0)

I'm not in your area and I don't have a large family but I did enjoy reading about yours! I hope you find another like-minded family that you can form true friendship with.

I'm going to check out your business site now!
