    I commend you guys it's amazing that you homeschool and you literally have to make a buffet for every meal with all those children.
    I follow several families with 10 plus kids and I guess it's true God provides you do what you need to do to feed them and they probably do a better job than people with only one child it forces you in to a routine which is great for the kids.

    I grew up in a family of 5 kids, my parents, my great-grandmother and my uncle with Down's Syndrome. We were a family of 9, plus we always had a couple of extra kids that were with our family a lot because of their home circumstances. So, what I'm saying is, we had a large family to feed, as well. We gardened and raised, and preserved most of our fruit and vegetables. We also raised our own chicken and beef and traded with fellow farmers for pork. We homecooked almost every meal, and it was delicious and healthy. When you have a large family, you almost have to cook and have healthier food.

    • @TheHappyCaravan

      Honestly it’s been a rocky ride since the pandemic and move.

In the meantime savings from selling our home and social media income has kept us going.

      I made a long video about it. My husband hasn’t been able to find good work since the pandemic. He’s a graphic designer by education. We were going to flip houses for income as well but that also fell through. Recently I’ve made a more concerted effort at social media and we’re almost to the point where it pays the important bills. In the meantime savings from the sale of our house have kept us afloat.
