Making Sunshine

We never expected to have six kids, and especially not in just four pregnancies! Having two sets of twins after two singletons has been such a big adventure. Even with the challenges, we love the large family life. We recently sold our first homestead and purchased a ten acre property to expand our dream. But, the biggest challenge is the abandoned farmhouse on the land. For now, we spend our free time rebuilding and restoring this house into our home, hoping to continue the homestead lifestyle.

ABOUT ME

Susan is a mother of six: five boys and one sweet girl. She is probably busy right now diapering a child, getting someone a snack, and looking for a lost shoe. Now, where did that coffee cup go?
