Despite some struggles, Courtney said that having multiple little ones has simply become part of her routine. "Having children super close in age is all I've ever known," she said. "Having multiple kids in diapers, babywearing, AND pushing a double stroller, taking a lifetime to get everyone out of the house is 'normal' for me."
Having 10 kids running around might seem overwhelming to most parents, but Courtney has her family's schedule down pat. As to how they get from place to place? Using a 15-person van, of course!
"I'm the type of mom who likes a daily schedule. Meals, naptime, and bedtime are predictable around here," she said. "We also currently home school. Book work gets done in shifts during the early morning and afternoons or after supper if we're running behind."
She confessed that keeping the house clean can be a bit of a feat: "Housework is probably the main thing I struggle with," she said. "With so many littles there's always a mess. We ALL do our part to clean up (my husband included), and any 'extra' chores my children get paid to do. It works for us and my kids love the spending money for camp, fairs, or snacks in town."
