What a Large Family Produces (From Someone Who Lived It): The joys & blessings of a large family - BLOG

<p data-start="465" data-end="558">In Part 1 of this series, I asked the question: <a href= "https://findingjoyinyourhome.com/can-you-really-raise-a-large-family-well/"> Can you really raise a large family well?</a> Welcome to part 2.</p> <p data-start="465" data-end="558">I'm the oldest of four kids, which, in my mind growing up, did not feel like a large family. But apparently… it was and is especially now!</p> <p data-start="585" data-end="797">People used to ask my mom if we were all from the same dad (which was always baffling because we all look like clones). And now, looking back, I realize: okay, yes, even four kids is considered "a lot" these days.</p> <p data-start="799" data-end="846">But my husband Jason? He's the oldest of seven. And now here we are with eight kids of our own…ages 13 down to 1.</p> <p data-start="799" data-end="846"><img class= "alignnone size-medium wp-image-24167" src= "https://findingjoyinyourhome.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/ChurchDirectory260007-700x467.jpg" alt="" /></p> <p data-start="916" data-end="1106">Our next door neighbors and good friends from church are pregnant with their eighth child, and our collective 15 children run back and forth between our backyards literally all day long. At our current church and our previous church, 15-passenger vans are the norm in the parking lot, and no one bats an eye at 5, 6, 7+ kids sitting in the pew.</p> <p data-start="916" data-end="1106">This isn't some rare, theoretical thing for us. This is just our life.</p> <p data-start="443" data-end="487"><a href= "https://findingjoyinyourhome.com/can-you-really-raise-a-large-family-well/"> In my last article</a>, we asked a big question:</p> <p data-start="489" data-end="534"><strong data-start="489" data-end="534">Can you really raise a large family well?</strong></p> <p data-start="536" data-end="602">Not just survive it: but do it with joy, connection, and intention?</p> <p data-start="604" data-end="843">That question matters, because most of us don't have many real-life examples to look to anymore. We hear opinions and we see hot takes online. But we don't often get to step inside a large family and see what it actually produces over time. When we are not used to seeing even 4-child families out in society, how on earth are we supposed to learn how to have more than the normal 1.6 kids?</p> <p data-start="1151" data-end="1197">And here's what I've come to see very clearly:</p> <p data-start="1199" data-end="1318"><strong data-start="1199" data-end="1256">Large families come with their own set of challenges.</strong><br data-start="1256" data-end="1259" /> There are hurdles you just don't face with one or two kids.</p> <p data-start="1320" data-end="1324">But—</p> <p data-start="1326" data-end="1412"><strong data-start="1326" data-end="1412">There are also unique, abundant blessings that you simply don't get any other way.</strong></p> <p data-start="1414" data-end="1460">It's one thing to debate this idea online of having more than 1.6 kids, it's another thing entirely to learn from families actually doing it!</p> <p data-start="1516" data-end="1533">So on a podcast episode, Jason and I chatted about this idea. I asked him,  <strong data-start="1535" data-end="1592">"Did you actually like growing up in a large family?"</strong></p> <p data-start="1594" data-end="1617">He didn't hesitate to say, "Yeah. I really did. And wouldn't change it for anything." (Online critics like to say that the eldest child in a large family never wants a large family of their own. It's simply not true!  And his oldest sister currently has 5 kids. In fact, all 6 of his siblings say they want at least 4 kids and several of them are already there!)</p> <p data-start="1594" data-end="1617"><img class= "alignnone size-medium wp-image-24132" src= "https://findingjoyinyourhome.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/IMG_20260207_172211-700x933.jpg" alt="" /></p> <h2 data-section-id="1i1jy8k" data-start="1647" data-end="1675">"I Never Felt Overlooked"</h2> <p data-start="1677" data-end="1721">Let's just go straight for the biggest fear. Because I know it's the one everyone is thinking.</p> <p data-start="1774" data-end="1827">There's no way all those kids get enough attention.</p> <p data-start="1829" data-end="1835">Right?</p> <p data-start="1837" data-end="1909">Like… someone has to be overlooked. Someone has to feel lost in the mix. And I'm not saying there wasn't a season where one kid felt like they didn't get as much attention, etc. But I'll be straight with you: I was one of only four kids (FOUR, a completely normal number of children throughout all of human history) and I had so many times of feeling overlooked, whether I really was or was just navel-gazing too much is a therapy session for another day.</p> <p data-start="1837" data-end="1909">I met Jason when I was 16 and he was 18. His younger brother is my exact same age (minus 27 days) and it was so interesting watching this homeschool family with 7 kids function. I loved seeing how they were such a close-knit family and welcomed me wholeheartedly into the crew over the next 3 years. Boots on the ground I actually watched his mom raise Jason's younger 3 siblings. When I met Jason, his mom was just 2 weeks away from having baby #7. And let me tell you one thing: The way his mom poured her heart and love into those kids, sure she didn't always get it right or always say the exact right thing to the angsty teenager, but her kids had all of her. When so many kids from much much smaller families had so much less of their moms.</p> <p data-start="2052" data-end="2113">Now, before we get all starry-eyed, his family was not perfect. We have to make sure we don't idealize something to the point of not recognizing faults. There are of course certain pitfalls that large families can get into it. And it behooves us to recognize those and address them within our own families, but more on that in the next large family article.</p> <p data-start="2313" data-end="2357">Now here's the kicker—they're still close. All seven of them. That doesn't just happen and it doesn't happen by accident either.</p> <p data-start="2313" data-end="2357"><img class= "alignnone size-medium wp-image-24071" src= "https://findingjoyinyourhome.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/Screen-Shot-2026-01-14-at-4.35.08-PM-700x689.png" alt="" /></p> <h2 data-section-id="1ibmbpe" data-start="2418" data-end="2464">The Sibling Thing (It's Kind of a Big Deal)</h2> <p data-start="2466" data-end="2550">If you've never been around a large family, I think this is the part that's hard to picture.</p> <p data-start="2552" data-end="2597"><strong data-start="2552" data-end="2597">The sibling relationships are everything.</strong> You're not just giving your kids a brother or sister. You're giving them: built-in friends, constant companions, people to do life with… forever. Even when there have been arguments or hiccups, we know that our siblings would be there for us no matter what (and I know that many families out there can't say the same thing). And the older you get, the more important that becomes.</p> <p data-start="2756" data-end="2829">And here's something Jason said that I don't think we think about enough:</p> <blockquote data-start="2831" data-end="2886"> <p data-start="2833" data-end="2886">Your siblings are your longest relationships in life.</p> </blockquote> <p data-start="2888" data-end="2965">Longer than your parents.<br data-start="2913" data-end="2916" /> Longer than your spouse.<br data-start="2940" data-end="2943" /> Longer than your kids.</p> <p data-start="2967" data-end="2979">That's wild.</p> <p data-start="2986" data-end="3080">And now that we have eight of our own, I'm starting to see this play out right in front of me.</p> <p data-start="3082" data-end="3125">Our 13-year-olds? They are obsessed with playing with the one year old. They love being the one to wake him up from his nap because he's always so cuddly at first!</p> <p data-start="3185" data-end="3300">My 9-year-old daughter is constantly dragging the 5 year old into whatever she's doing like, "Come on, you're helping me now." (And he loves it!)</p> <p data-start="3302" data-end="3352">And the toddler? He's thrilled. Living his best life. The center of the Universe (insert eye roll here).</p> <p data-start="3354" data-end="3465">There is always someone to play with.<br data-start="3391" data-end="3394" /> Always someone to follow.<br data-start="3419" data-end="3422" /> Always someone to annoy. (Let's be honest.)</p> <p data-start="3467" data-end="3546">And it creates this environment that you just… can't manufacture any other way.</p> <p data-start="3467" data-end="3546"><img class= "alignnone size-medium wp-image-24022" src= "https://findingjoyinyourhome.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/IMG_1613-e1767023623189-700x834.png" alt="" /></p> <h2 data-section-id="guel5u" data-start="3553" data-end="3599">The sweetest part to me: Family Culture</h2> <p data-start="3601" data-end="3623">This one surprised me. Because I assumed we would be the ones creating the family culture. And yes - we do set the tone - and work hard to make a God-honoring family culture.</p> <p data-start="3725" data-end="3783">But there's something else that happens in a large family: <strong data-start="3785" data-end= "3838">The kids start creating culture all on their own.</strong></p> <p data-start="3840" data-end="3920">There's the inside jokes (that even I don't get). <br data-start="3853" data-end="3856" /> The made-up games.<br data-start="3870" data-end="3873" /> And all these little traditions that don't involve us at all.</p> <p data-start="3922" data-end="4033">Jason was talking about this, how in his family, so many things just developed naturally between the siblings. The amount of inside jokes they all still have is astounding!</p> <p data-start="4035" data-end="4071">And we're seeing the same thing now. I'll walk into a room and they're all playing some game I've never seen before, with rules I definitely didn't teach them. Or joking with made up lingo that I have no clue what it means.  And it's just… theirs. It's messy and loud and kind of chaotic, but it's also really, really special.</p> <h2 data-section-id="x9ns80" data-start="4305" data-end="4345"> "Wait… They Actually Become Helpful?"</h2> <p data-start="4347" data-end="4395">Okay, let's talk about something very practical. Because if you're in the little years right now, you are probably thinking: <strong data-start="4474" data-end="4517">"This sounds lovely but I am drowning."</strong></p> <p data-start="4519" data-end="4528">I get it. When all your kids are little, you are doing everything. For everyone. All of the time.</p> <p data-start="4626" data-end="4706">You are buckling every seatbelt - Our oldest 5 were all in 5-point harness carseats at the same time and not a single one of them could unbuckle their own carseat when baby #5 was born. It was wild!  You are pouring every cup. Breaking up every fight. Filling every single physical and emotional need. It's a lot in those little years, even with just two kids!</p> <p data-start="4726" data-end="4747">But then, you pass this turning point. I remember when baby #6 was born and my oldest twins were 7, it started feeling like a different world. All of a sudden they could get me a glass of water or fetch a diaper. It wasn't ALL on me, all of the time. They started to have autonomy and the game started changing.</p> <p data-start="4780" data-end="4793">They grow up. And suddenly: They can make food, they can help clean, they can do laundry, they can contribute.</p> <p data-start="4902" data-end="4995">Not in a "child labor" kind of way 😅 But in a we all live here, we all help kind of way. And also, you're going to be an adult one day and need to know these important life skills kind of way.</p> <p data-start="4997" data-end="5023">And it really changes the dynamic of the household.  We do quick whole-house cleanups together. Just ten minutes, everyone has a job and it's done!</p> <p data-start="5115" data-end="5210">What would take me two hours alone gets knocked out in minutes because everyone is pitching in. And honestly? They like being capable. They like knowing how to do things. They take pride in it (even if they occasionally act like it's the worst thing that's ever happened to them).</p> <p data-start="5115" data-end="5210"><img class= "alignnone size-medium wp-image-24033" src= "https://findingjoyinyourhome.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/Photo-Jul-22-2025-2-44-54-PM-700x394.jpg" alt="" /></p> <h2 data-section-id="zkhh6r" data-start="5407" data-end="5444">It's Loud. It's Busy. It's… a Lot.</h2> <p data-start="5446" data-end="5505">I'm not going to pretend it's peaceful and quiet over here. It's not. We have seven boys. Let's just start there.</p> <p data-start="5565" data-end="5581">There is always: noise, movement, someone talking (yelling really, I think our family has only one volume), someone wrestling, and someone hungry.</p> <p data-start="5648" data-end="5728">Even when everyone is behaving well, it still looks like chaos from the outside. Because there are just… a lot of people. I finally realized that when we all go out to dinner, our kids could be perfect angels the entire time and it still would just feel a little chaotic because of so many little people.</p> <p data-start="5777" data-end="5798">But here's the thing: You stop trying to make it quiet all the time.  And you start realizing…<strong data-start="5861" data-end="5903">This is what a full house sounds like.</strong> It's life. It's energy. It's a whole lot of people living together, not just coexisting.</p> <h2 data-section-id="c33vpw" data-start="6004" data-end="6040">Your Life Doesn't End (I Promise)</h2> <p data-start="6042" data-end="6073">I think a lot of people assume: "If I have a big family, my life is over."</p> <p data-start="6119" data-end="6137">Like you'll never: go anywhere, travel, do anything fun ever again, or just be a woman any longer and not just a mom.</p> <p data-start="6202" data-end="6273">Meanwhile…we took eight kids and traveled the country full time for two years 😅</p> <p data-start="6275" data-end="6312">Was it always smooth? Absolutely not. Did we have moments where we were like, "Why did we think this was a good idea?" Yes, many.</p> <p data-start="6413" data-end="6440">But here's what we learned: You get better. You learn how to: plan better, train your kids, adjust expectations.</p> <p data-start="6538" data-end="6609">And over time, things that used to feel impossible, get easier and just feel more normal.</p> <p data-start="6616" data-end="6697">I used to feel completely overwhelmed taking two toddlers to the grocery store. I remember thinking: this is it, it's impossible. I'm only shopping on Saturdays when Jason is home and can watch the twins!</p> <p data-start="6699" data-end="6703">Now? If I only have two kids with me, it feels like a vacation. The other day I took the three youngest with me (ages 5, 3, and 1) to do some thrift store shopping and it was no big deal. It's funny how that happens.</p> <h2 data-section-id="cnrklu" data-start="6770" data-end="6796">God Grows Your Capacity</h2> <p data-start="6798" data-end="6847">This might be my biggest takeaway from all of it.</p> <p data-start="6849" data-end="6921">Because every single time we added another baby, I had the same thought: <strong data-start= "6923" data-end="6959">"I cannot possibly handle more."</strong></p> <p data-start="6961" data-end="6987">And then… somehow… we did. And somehow it's the perfect addition we didn't know we needed.</p> <p data-start="6994" data-end="7018">Jason said it perfectly:</p> <blockquote data-start="7020" data-end="7098"> <p data-start="7022" data-end="7098">"You always feel maxed out. And then you add another, and somehow they fit."</p> </blockquote> <p data-start="7100" data-end="7149">That has been our experience over and over again. Not because we're amazing. But because God is faithful to grow you as your family grows. Even if that growth is painful sometimes. If you find yourself unexpectedly adding a new member to the family, rest knowing that God has had this planned. He knows this new sweet little babe is perfectly planned and will bring joy to your whole family! Trust that he will grow you when the time is right, and not before!</p> <p data-start="7100" data-end="7149"><img class= "alignnone size-medium wp-image-23530" src= "https://findingjoyinyourhome.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/christmas-700x519.png" alt="" /></p> <h2 data-section-id="z2x5gb" data-start="7247" data-end="7288">So… Can You Raise a Large Family Well?</h2> <p data-start="7290" data-end="7316">I think the answer is yes. We've witnessed it in our own life with Jason's family and many times with friends who have grown adult children. Sometimes you read these anti-big family articles online and it's easy to wonder if it's even possible because there are some who didn't raise their large family well (just as there are those who didn't raise their two kids well). Yes, it's absolutely possible, worth it, and so much fun!!</p> <p data-start="7318" data-end="7371">Look, none of us are perfect. Jason's parents weren't perfect and Jason and I certainly aren't. I hate to even address this topic because I feel woefully imperfect. And yet, I think it's something that modern Christian women need to read: Yes, it's quite possible to raise more than the normal 1.6 children and for it to be a blessing to your life and your children's lives.</p> <p data-start="7378" data-end="7428">When you look at a family that's done it well…You don't see deprivation. You see: connection, capability, deep relationships, a whole lot of life and this elusive village that everyone's talking about online today.</p> <p data-start="7550" data-end="7563">And honestly? It's pretty beautiful.</p> <p data-start="7594" data-end="7653">Next in this series…we're going to talk about the other side of this:</p> <p data-start="7655" data-end="7672"><strong data-start="7655" data-end="7672">The pitfalls.</strong></p> <p data-start="7674" data-end="7720">Because yes, there are things to watch out for. And if we're going to do this well, we need to talk about those too.</p>

How I'm Rebuilding My Bulk Pantry (step by step) - BLOG

<p>I originally wrote this article in April and I'm finally getting around to publishing it. I'm about to place 5th Azure order and it indeed has already made a huge difference in our budget (see the bottom of the article)! </p> <p>Over the years, I've developed quite a system for storing and cooking out of a bulk pantry. I routinely buy 25-50lb bags of dried goods and cook almost everything from scratch. Now, 10+ years into this journey, I take for granted how easy this system is to maintain. But when I first started out, it was anything but.</p> <p>I remember googling "How to store 25lbs of spelt" and getting lost in debates about using oxygen absorbers or storing everything in mylar bags inside 5-gallon buckets. Man, I even remember a good 17 years ago when I got my first bag of dried beans and felt really intimidated about how to cook it since I'd only ever bought canned beans.</p> <p>At the height of my bulk pantry, I had a good 17-20 5-gallon buckets that stored everything from various kinds of grains, to multiple types of rice, lentils, beans, pasta, and so much more. I was working my way to a 3-month steady supply of everything, hoping to eventually get that to a 6-month supply (while actively eating out of that pantry). This working pantry is just practical and the everyday foods we actually eat. There's another segment of people who are preppers who are just stockpiling a doomsday pantry, but it's pretty useless if you don't actually eat that food or know what to do with it!</p> <p><img class="aligncenter wp-image-24183 size-medium" src= "https://findingjoyinyourhome.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/1O6A0586-scaled-e1781913088933-700x841.jpg" alt="" width="700" height="841" /></p> <p>It's never a bad thing to be prepared. With a bulk pantry, you can so much more easily weather financial storms or actual storms. We all realized through 2020 that our food system is not nearly as stable as we might have imagined. But even more than that, a bulk pantry just makes sense. It is by far the cheapest way to run your kitchen, will save you oodles on your grocery budget, and is such a healthy, non-processed way to run your kitchen. Plus, once you get your bulk pantry set up and you get beyond those initial questions, it's the easiest way to run your kitchen! No more running to the store because you forgot an ingredient. You can whip up tortillas, or make a batch of beans, or throw together a Mexican feast with everything you have on hand! It's incredibly simplifying (and satisfying).</p> <p>But why I'm writing here today is to give you a peek at how to start a bulk pantry like this for the first time. It can feel overwhelming to get started, and it can feel like it costs too much money to do. You look at these bags of grain for $35 and calculate that times 20 bags and think "I can't fit that in my grocery budget!" but the entire goal is to slowly replace grocery money you would normally spend on smaller items, like 2-3 cans of beans or a single loaf of bread. Your bulk pantry can start out quite modest, but with time, it snowballs into something significant!</p> <p>I am restarting my bulk pantry, almost from zero. I do have all my 5-gallon buckets and glass jars, thankfully, but I am taking these steps myself to rebuild my bulk pantry food. I am hoping that in about 6 months, my bulk pantry will once again be rock solid!</p> <p>At the height of my bulk pantry, all I had to do was look at my pantry each month and place my bulk food order with <a href= "https://findingjoyinyourhome.com/our-monthly-grocery-shopping-from-azure-standard-may-2021/"> Azure Standard</a>. Because my pantry was so stocked, I wasn't ordering little amounts of every item our family would eat that month; I was able to just buy a large 25-50lb bags of the items I needed to stock up on. At that point, I was spending about 60-80% of our grocery budget on bulk foods and our quality of food had risen so dramatically. Plus my pantry was amazing!</p> <p>However, we were called to clean out our little house, downsize everything into a storage unit and leave Oklahoma behind for a move to North Carolina. It was not a move we had expected, but we are so thankful for where God has led us. But it meant a move into an RV for a year and a half while we relocated and figured out where we would land. Now, here we are, finally settled in our new house and ready to rebuild!</p> <p><img class="size-medium wp-image-24184 aligncenter" src= "https://findingjoyinyourhome.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Photo-Nov-07-2022-5-02-41-PM-1-700x394.jpg" alt="" /></p> <p>But when I look at my meager grocery budget and the goal of wanting to rebuild my bulk pantry (right now!!), I'm left with the same feelings that my readers have said to me "But it just costs to much to get started and I feel like I can only do a little bit!" And that's true! Because I don't have anything extra to aid this rebuilding (If I had an extra $300-1000 that I could throw into getting started, this could go a lot faster), I am just going to do it slow and steady. I've decided to pull $100 a month from my grocery budget for this purpose. I figure I can save just $25 a week from my normal grocery shopping to divert to this cause. And the goal is that, with each passing month, this will free up more money to put towards the bulk purchases since it really does save a lot of money in the long run!</p> <p>The beauty of a bulk pantry is that once you get going, the snowball effect does indeed take over. Before you know it, you will have a fully stocked pantry and all you'll have to do is restock it from there. We are a family of 10, with 8 of those being boys. So we go through a lot more food too than the average family. When we were a smaller family, it wasn't nearly as hard to stock up the bulk pantry. So the length of time you'll get out of each bag will likely be longer than ours!</p> <p><strong>Here's what I ordered in my March Azure order: </strong></p> <ul> <li><a href= "https://www.azurestandard.com/shop/product/food/sweeteners/honey/wildflower/honey-raw-berrywildflower/8557?package=SW009&a_aid=p57NBiGG6C"> Raw honey, 12lbs</a> - $37.46</li> <li><a href= "https://www.azurestandard.com/shop/product/food/grains/spelt/whole-grain/spelt-grain-organic/10847?package=GR101&a_aid=p57NBiGG6C"> Spelt, 25lbs</a> - $36.30</li> <li><a href= "https://www.azurestandard.com/shop/product/food/grains/oats/groats/oats-whole-groats/9503?package=GR034&a_aid=p57NBiGG6C"> Whole oat groats, 25lbs</a> - $16.12 (We flake them into rolled oats)</li> <li><a href= "https://www.azurestandard.com/shop/product/outdoor-garden/garden-plant-starts/vegetables/potatoes/seed-potatoes-mix-organic/18118?package=GP585&a_aid=p57NBiGG6C"> Seed potatoes for the garden</a> - $15</li> </ul> <p><strong>Here's what I ordered in my April Azure Order: </strong></p> <ul> <li><a href= "https://www.azurestandard.com/shop/product/food/beans-peas/black/dry/black-beans-organic/6625?package=BE006&a_aid=p57NBiGG6C"> Black beans, 25lbs</a> - $33.96</li> <li><a href= "https://www.azurestandard.com/shop/product/food/sweeteners/sugar-cane/juice-crystals/evaporated/cane-sugar-organic/7883?package=SW078&a_aid=p57NBiGG6C"> Sugar, 25lbs</a> - $35.88</li> <li><a href= "https://www.azurestandard.com/shop/product/food/sweeteners/brown-sugar/dark-brown/brown-sugar-light-organic/36734?package=SW606&a_aid=p57NBiGG6C"> Brown sugar</a>, 5lbs - $11.46</li> <li><a href= "https://www.azurestandard.com/shop/product/household-family/kitchen/dishwashing/dish-soap/dish-soap-citrus/26878?package=NF1624&a_aid=p57NBiGG6C"> Azure dish soap</a> - $6.90</li> <li><a href= "https://www.azurestandard.com/shop/product/food/grains/popcorn/yellow/popcorn-yellow-organic/10088?package=GR022&a_aid=p57NBiGG6C"> Popcorn, 25lbs</a> - $30.70</li> </ul> <p>A small but mighty order that will go a long way.
