  • People often wonder why we have 10 kids. As a child I always wanted a big family, then in the crazy teenage years, the dream sort of waned. But as an adult I started to appreciate children in a whole new way. In this podcast style vlog I share our journey and what inspired us. I also talk about some thoughts on the Independent Fundamental Baptist Church, The Quiver Full Movement, Above Rubies, No Greater Joy (Michael and Debbie Pearl), Homeschooling, and a couple birth stories along the way 😊 #largefamilylife

    I feel bad that you have been pressured to explain yourself. “Why do you have X many kids?” is very rude to ask and no one’s business. There are so many reasons why someone may have many kids, and they’re all personal reasons. This wouldn’t be a question if you had 2 or 3 kids.

    Hi! I am a romanian woman and I am so happy to hear you speaking so nicely about the romanian community that formed in your city. Also, you have a Jennifer Garner vibe, it's very nice.

    Just my opinion and I think it aligns w the Bible if a pastor or someone in a authority position in church is doing something like that then they must be held accountable to the law and they should not be allowing to hold their positions i the church. There is no way that it’s ok to move them around.

    I hear that you’ve had a lot of problems and Church me too. I was first educated very wrong, and given a very progressive education, as well as I don’t think I paid as much attention to my faith as a. I should’ve. that being said, the Bible says they will always be ships in wolves clothing, so I only pray for those that are the wolves that they will convert back to gods well and then I try to keep it moving. The statement that I was talking about is you don’t leave the church because of Judas. even when Jesus was crucified, only John, the beloved, stood by his cross, with his mother, Mary and her family. but God, even Fried gave the disciples that denied him and ran away for fear. Jesus also forgive the people that called for his crucifixion. All they have to do is reach out for him, and also the man on the cross next to him who asked for his forgiveness and defended him when the other prisoner on the cross what is mocking Jesus.. So don’t think about the scandals just either find another church that is faith based and just keep working towards the bigger picture our Lord and your family let me actually help our society now, and in the future.

    I was a only child of a single mother, I always craved siblings and all the madness it brings 😆☺️ I grew up, got married to my high school sweetheart, had 5 children, 3 girls, 2 boys with 2 of the 5 being twins. I absolutely love our crazy loud house and couldn’t imagine it any other way ☺️

    I was a only child also from Illinois. I always wanted a brother or sister to talk to and be there for me. My mom and dad were divorced when I was young , he lived in Denver, he was a successful Graphic Artist, had his own business called Unigraghics. I was always scared of having kids because i was never around them, didnt even babysit!! But I have my 2 girls now Im so blessed to have them! Best thing that has ever happened in my life!!Thank you for sharing your life story, you both are wonderful parents!

    I'd just like to point out that there's nothing wrong with piercings, tattoos, or locs. I know you probably didnt mean to sound judgemental, but it came across to me that way. Thank you for sharing your story.

    You were born to parent this many kids. The world needs parents like you who provide the right opportunities for kids. The right boundaries, the right nutrition, the right discipline not to mention siblings and what that means long term . You look incredible for someone who has had that many kids and maybe that was your journey. We need music we need community that large families offer . Thankyou xxx

  • @cynthiawilliamson5905

    Now 11! Because they can!😮❤🎉 Yes, kids are good! And the word of God, it states that children are a gift from God! They are there the most precious things in the world, especially a brand new baby nothing is more pure than a brand new baby. Nothing is closer to heaven than a brand new baby! That’s why Satan wants to destroy them!😢

    I feel confident many children would love to have parents like you and Marc...and many would love to have your children as their siblings. Everyone in your family seems highly motivated. What great role models you all are! ❤

    Thankyou so much for the amazing videos! Love you guys, and your kids are so sweat, always smiling and never complaining. I've been going through depression for a long time now, and saw you guys on the news; gave me hope and I have started to get my act together after watching you all living a cheerful life. God bless you all!

    I love the vulnerability and honesty of these videos, thank you for sharing. So much of your journey is relatable to my own experience with 6 children - ideolizing large families as a child, starting a family young, thinking you were done after 3 and then more coming in a natural flow, just meant to be. Homeschooling, etc. But above all else that I related to in your story - is the joy that siblings bring to one another. Mine range from age 1 to 15, and seeing the different age groups interacting is magical. That's the only word for it. I'm a little into my 30s now and am quite sure I won't be having more - but even now, I still look on at families like yours, with more children than my own, in awe and fascination. 💕

    Your family is such an inspiration to me. You are wonderful and amazing parents and your children are beautiful. I’m expecting my 7th and feel sometimes like we must be certifiably crazy, but then I see people like you and know I’m not alone! And I’m reminded it can’t be done without faith in God, and that he does take care of us. Thank you so much for your stories and for sharing your beautiful family happenings with us!

  • @thegoodfight426

    Bless your heart!!! You have one of the most beautiful families I have ever seen!!! I always pray to have the patience you have with your children! You all are inspirational in more ways than one!!!

    My dear, you are so adorable and so sweet! You do you, it's nobody's business why you have so many children, you and your husband have been blessed beyond measure! I grew up in a family of 3, my best friend grew up in a family of 9 this was back in the 60s and our parents considered us as another child in both family's. Yes, a large family was fun. I have 2 adult children, no grandchildren yet?! I agree with you God loves children, it is so sad that so many young adults don't want children losing our family values! In closing I'd like to wish you and your family a very Happy Easter!!

    You and your family are absolutely delightful. I sense a lot of inner peace and I see it in your calm and nondefensive responses to other (unbalanced) people's comments and critiques. That is more inspiring than you may even know, a rare and real demonstration of Christlikeness. PS My husband is one of 11 and he loved being in a large family. We have 6 of our own and I'd like to have another. 😊

    I just simply adore you. Your family has helped me get through some tough times physically and mentally. I just enjoy watching your beautiful, joyful life I’m very proud of you and am praying for you. My second daughter lives in Manhattan and I share videos with her. Keep up the good life and good work. God is blessing you on so many ways. Take care and love from Tampa
