Yep, you read that right, 4 Moms, 35 Kids is headed back to a blog near you (or rather 4 blogs near you). After a nice maternity leave since 3 of the 4 moms had a baby (Connie welcomed baby Peyton Iva in May, KimC welcomed Parker Cromwell in June, and of course we welcomed Isabella Promise in July) next Thursday, August 5th, 4 moms of many will be back each Thursday.
Ever wondered what it’s like to manage a large family or curious how others do it? Hoping for some help for your growing family? Flabbergasted that we aren’t checking into an asylum? Think there are some secrets that we’re not sharing?

Every Thursday you will have the opportunity to get a glimpse into the homes of 4 moms of many:
- Connie from Smockity Frocks
- KimC from Life in a Shoe
- The Deputy Headmistress from The Common Room
We’ll each be sharing our perspective on how we manage our larger than average families. From scheduling to laundry, homeschooling to cooking we’ll share what we’ve learned and what it’s like trying to keep up. We’ll share some of our triumphs and some of our struggles.
Each Thursday during the month of August we’ll be giving you a peek into a different area of our home and we’ll be including a linky so that if you can join in on the fun. This Thursday we’ll share about our yard and entryway, how we use them, what aspects work and what don’t and what we’ve done to make them more family friendly.
If you want to share about your yard and entryway just visit one of the 4 mom’s blogs next Thursday and sign up with the linky, your blog will appear on all 4 of our sites.
You may read our past topics and see a list of upcoming possibilities on the 4 Moms page. One of the favorite posts is where we live-blogged a day in each of our homes. Want to know what it’s really like? Those posts are a must read.

Allie,
We thought ahead and since all of us were pregnant when we started we included those little ones, so the 35 kids is still up-to-date.

Yeah! I am thrilled that the moms are “back”, I always enjoy the topics that you cover. I will be looking forward to the entryway uses. I am still hoping for a post about traveling with large families, so please keep that one in mind.
