WOW Imagine EIGHT KIDS!!

Today me & my sister-in-law and two of my girls went out to visit a lady that is raising Goats so that she can have Goat milk, Don't go judging before you try it, Your probably freaking out because your use to the boiled hormoned packed milk. Anyway, it was so amazing to see how calm she was and has eight children under 11 yrs old. I have 5 under 17, but man, It was so interesting to see how relaxed she was, the kids help out alot! Her oldest daughter who's 11, helps out a ton, all the kids know how to cook and bake, they are learning how to save $$. The whole time we were there the only one that was whiny was the next to youngest, she wasn't even 3 yet, she needed a nap cause they had company over to show them how to bake bread in their Sun Oven (it helps her to keep the house cool and saves $$ on not running the air-conditioning when unneccesary). It really amazes me, she makes soap, and sells it and has all different kinds, and Indigo the next to youngest kept wanting to smell all the different kinds and she said that Lilac was her favorite. They milk the Goats and also have chickens that they get their eggs from them.
It was such a neat and amazing experience. She spends time with the kids home schooling and making crafts and the kids help with stamping the bags for the soaps.
Anyway, just amazing to see how inventive other large families can be.
