The response from most people when telling them I'm having our sixth child,
is always with a very genuine and sincere smile... from them... and from me
however...
It's kind of funny really... because obviously the people who don't "agree" with us having more than what they think we should have, are going to be those individuals, who don't mean harm, but an inevitable frown appears upon their face, with a similar statement such as
"did you... uh... plan this?"
No harm done... they just are concerned! as am I!! Almost everyone, unless they themselves have over the number of children I do (and trust me... I know A LOT of women who have had more than me!) or are in the same mind frame as I... and open to life... will ask me next:
"how do you do it?"
well, I'm here to clarify... and answer this question... as simply as I can: (these are in no particular order)
~keeping a clean home~
(picture credit: Jennifer Rizzo)~decorating + rearranging = happy mamma (without leaving the home!)~ (and really, that one could be tied in with "a clean home" because anytime I clean, I rearrange!!)

~Enjoy your kitchen!!!!~ and... staying as close to the kitchen as possible... someday... SOMEDAY... I will have a comfy couch in the kitchen — or a daybed — I'm really not that picky
last but certainly never least...
~prayer~
both as a family and when it's just me in silent meditation of the mysteries of our faith
hope you are all having a great week! All my best to those parent's grieving their children going back to school (I know I certainly would miss mine!!)
xo+blessings,
