Hi, I'm Kimberly. I'm a homeschooling mom of 11 and here on Raising Olives I share about what I've learned; tips, ideas and some of the ups and downs of managing a home and raising children for the glory of God.
Once a month the 4 Moms take some time to answer reader questions. This month, I’m continuing to work my way through the fabulous list questions that you all came up with on Facebook last month. Michelle Givler asked, “Do you believe in courtship or dating and what does that look like to you and…
