I’m not a mom, actually I’m just 16 years old but I think these videos are kinda inspiring and it shows me how if somthing is hard I can get through it because i can’t even imagine how hard it was on you mentally and physically to have 17 kids, I’m so proud of you girl keep doing what you have to do!
I’d love to just learn about the logistics of how you manage it all like scheduling with so many in the house - like appointments, sports, sicknesses, eating, family time, Church, etc! Love your channel! God bless 💕
I want to hear this too! I’m having trouble with 4 kids, a big house, a spouse who works all the time, I work a part time job, I am a soccer coach, and church, plus church choir rehearsals…. How do you get stuff done lol
Lucky you to be able to have so many children. I always wanted to have 5 children and after having my 2 sons and getting pregnant the third time, I found out I was pregnant with triplets (completely natural). Sadly, the pregnancy was difficult and my triplets passed away not long after they were born. My wish to have 5 children came true, but sadly I did not get to raise my triplet daughters. At that time, I was 30 and after 3 C-sections, my doctor advised against me having another pregnancy as this birth was very traumatic for me. I hope you understand how truly blessed you and your husband really are. Blessings to all.
Wow !! What a blessing.... Im 60 ish and all of my friends your age have large families....11children, 12children, 15children and now u... w almost 17.... SUCH A BLESSING !!! Praying 4 u sis !! ❤❤❤❤❤
Back in 1960s I went to school with a classmate that came from a family of 24 children. Her parents had more than one set of twins. That was a first I had ever heard of 24 siblings in one family. Have as many children as God gives to you that's between God, your husband and you and everyone else can stay out of it and mind their own business. Blessings to you and your large family.
I am 38 years old and am pregnant with my 16th baby. Children are a gift from the Lord. My baby is already 2 weeks old. I'm fine and the baby is fine too. Praise the Lord!
Pls. Share with us how you manage such a big family with so many lovely children ? It’s almost a miracle. I am exhausted raising one boy, you are superwoman
Congratulations !!!! I'm 65 and was not able to have children. I was a foster parent. We adopted our 12year old son when I was 53. He is currently 24 years old & attending LVN school with his girlfriend. I enjoy your channel.
I adopted my daughter at 39 years 8 months, she is a joy! I too was never able to conceive. I always wonder how many I would have had if I could. I raised two other girls for 8 years and my daughter is now 5 years old!
I was so excited to see that you had released another long form video and I am absolutely thrilled to hear that you will be releasing more!! I like your short form videos, but in your long form ones you share more information about how your household runs and about your everyday life which I find particularly helpful because of your unique and valuable perspective and experience. I love all you're videos and have watched many of them multiple times! I'm so glad you're back!
My mom was #12 of 15, she taught me to love big families too, but I was blessed with only five. I stumbled onto your channel with this video and am so glad to know there are huge families still going strong. I haven't attempted RUclips, I have had a small blog for years and I think to myself, "I can either film life, or live it, but not both." So kudos to you for attempted both. My hats off to you!
my hubby's nanny was 6 of 12 girls!!! amazing huh? I love hearing her stories growing up in Appalachia. she said her momma never made bread, she grew up with biscuits as their 'bread'
Hey Nancy! We live in Brisbane Australia and have been watching your channel for a few years. We've got 4 kids and I love having you as an influence and especially love the emphasis on Christ in some of your vids. Excited for the new ones to come! Thanks for the videos - I have been using your laundry system for 2 years. xo
How many children we have is The Most High's business, not ours, so you have the right attitude. We have 6 living children, and I've learned it's a blessing to have a husband who welcomes the inheritance of children rather than trying to prevent it. It would be so helpful to see more videos about how you so efficiently organize and manage everything in your home, especially groceries and food storage.
Everything is permissible not everything is beneficial. Especially in these end times….. it is written 👇 LUKE 21:23 HOW DREADFUL IT WILL BE IN THOSE DAYS FOR PREGNANT WOMEN AND NURSING MOTHERS! THERE WILL BE A GREAT DISTRESS IN THE LAND AND A WRATH AGAINST THESE PEOPLE.😬 BUCKLE UP…. YOURE ABOUT TO WITNESS THE MOST HORRIFIC EVENTS IN ALL HISTORY 😔🩸🎚🩸🙏🏼
I live next door to an identical family! Finding this video floored me as I just find it so enormously wonderful to have that many beautiful children in one family. Sometimes I sit outside and just listen to them play…they don’t fight🤷🏼♀️ and not one has a visible cell phone. Amazing! Thank you for sharing your beautiful family😘
This is awesome! I love this ! You and your husband are down to earth , level headed and genuine. And that’s why your children are just so cool and awesome ! God bless you guys and I can’t wait when it’s our turn !
You are so blessed to have such a wonderful family! Like you mentioned not everyone will understand why to choose to have so many kids. But babies are definitely a blessing from God, I've been trying to get pregnant for over 7 years, I am 34 now and still praying and hoping to have kids or at least 1 child one day 😀
I wish I could have more kids! I’m blessed with 5 kids and my last has Down syndrome. I always asked the same question of people, “how do you not want more kids?” I just can’t physically handle more but boy am I enjoying the ones I have and looking forward to grandkids 😁 I’m so glad you are back at making videos. I think I speak for many when I say just to be a fly on the wall to see how your days go with so many hands on deck is entertaining for us.
Thank you for having so many children! Some of us didn’t know better and had just a few. It’s the only promised blessing that people actively try to prevent.
I love your attitude! I just genuinely wonder how it’s possible to take care of so many kids. I have four boys, 14, 11, 7, and 16 months. The 11yo has ADHD and mild depression and anxiety, and the 7yo (we think) has ADHD and autism. I’m working on trying to get him diagnosed and treated. Even trying to keep up with their needs, as well as my marriage, myself, our house and garden, is exhausting. Even if none of your kids has special needs, each child is different and has their own trials and needs. How can it be possible to give so many children the individualized attention they need? I hope that doesn’t sound critical or disrespectful; I have deep respect and admiration for moms of big families! I’m just awed and baffled at how moms like you do it! I’d love to hear your thoughts.
I am three of eleven. I raised my three youngest brothers. At twelve I had a kid on my hip. My summers were spent being the nanny. I didn’t have a social life because I was babysitting 24/7 for free. From my experience a mother and father will never be able to provide the emotional, spiritual, creative, support to a brood of 17. It always falls to the older siblings to do the child care. I don’t know you, or your situation, so if everyone of your kids is properly feed in every way, bravo. All of my sibs made it a point to limit our families to two or three because we remember the starvation, literally, and figuratively, of being one of eleven.
This... 👏🏻 tell y'all's truths 🤷🏼♀️ Without a nanny or children taking care of children who will later be kid free this wouldn't be possible. I've became kid free & had to fight for my right too 🤦🏼♀️🤷🏼♀️
Most parents with 3 or more children try to manipulate their children into believing that it’s “sibling love” and “being a part” of the family when they want the older children to run after the younger ones. All that does is benefit the parents so they’re not overwhelmed or paying for a sitter! It also cause the older siblings to resent their younger siblings. It’s not healthy for children to have to give up their free time or time with friends to babysit children they didn’t create. It’s a selfish idea for parents to have siblings babysit each other. In my opinion it’s also very irresponsible to continue to reproduce when or if we are already struggling to keep food, clothing, housing or even the basic necessities! Others aren’t responsible for our ignorance and selfish behavior. I’m sorry you missed out on so much as a child. Good luck and best wishes to you.
Susanna Wesley was the 25th of 25 children. Her son John was her 15th. So many important people in history were not the first or second child, but many down the line. It's very sad that our culture doesn't welcome children as it once did. Women today sometimes don't have a strong moral compass and try to imitate men instead of being the amazing mothers they were born to be. I love your laundry system and look forward to many more of your videos. You might do one on how to not worry or how to stay calm. I've noticed that about mothers of large families. They seem so calm! Blessings!
Congratulations! Your family is beautiful. The video that is the most helpful to me is your laundry video. So ways you organize and stay on top of life is so helpful ❤️
I have always wanted to have a big family, but God had other plans. We have two healthy girls, but lost our 3rd baby and I haven't been able to get pregnant since then. Enjoy your big beautiful family. ❤
I'm so sorry you lost a baby. I can't imagine your pain. 🫂 I also thought I would have a large family but I have 3 blessings and have dealt with infertility before and after having the three of them. I'm so thankful for each child and happy for those who've been able to have many!
That is so lovely! I’m 44 with a 7 and 4 year old... I really would have loved to have a couple more children. But I am blessed beyond measure for these two buys God has given me.
And yet most parents have no problem dropping their kids off in a class of 20-30 kids for 40 hours a week and then shuttling them off to daycare with a bunch of other kids until dinner time. We probably should get rid of all schools and daycares too 🤔 I sure how you homeschool so you’re children are receiving “proper attention”!
I believe our thinking is of low resonance @anyexner think about… the more kids means more people to be around. More people means greater potential to have your emotional and social needs. I’ve met many people as I’ve lived in several different countries. People that come from large families are by far more rounded and socially and emotionally intelligent than those coming from small 1-2 kid families. Humans are very social. Humans are built to have large families.
We are currently remodeling an old farmhouse to fit our family and I love seeing how your home flows, why you put certain kids in certain rooms, etc. Love the tours!
I love your channel! We have nine children, including 10-month-old twins, and your mom hacks are wonderful! Such an encouragement. Congrats on your new baby!!! Keep these videos coming. ❤️Many blessings from Tennessee!
I just stumbled on your video. I think it's wonderful that you have so many children. I was happy with my two. No matter how many anyone has is no ones concern as long as they are loved and cared for.
The youngest is so advanced for 1 I can tell just from the clips, and that’s probably because he has soooo many examples from the older kids and I noticed that babies will learn how to do things faster when they have older children around them who they can mimic. My son learned to walk very early because we did play dates with a little girl who was about a year older and she was walking and he just wanted to keep up with her so he figured it out.
17th! wow, that is a gift. I thought having 6 was a lot haha... that is incredible. God bless you. I am sure you deal with a lot of judgmental attitudes. Whatever. Kids are a treasure and so much fun. So encouraging
As a mother of 11 children, I can tell you that God makes children we are just aloud to participate in the process. If we were like animals and every time we come together there was a child there would be a lot more children. I am the first to say I don't totally understand how God works. Thank you for your courage. I pray you have a great support group. Stand strong in the Lord. I pray you find a way to Always keep God first in your life. I chose to not take birth control ( I read the fine print) back in the 80's. Being obedient to God is more important than anything. I pray that God protects you and yours.
If you can afford to raise 17 kids good for you. I just see too many tv and internet parents whose large families don’t work out once they become you tube stars. You and your husband seem to be very good parents and I assume your husband must make very good money that allows you to be full time mom living in such luxury. We definitely need responsible parents raising their kids.
Woooow! Soooo good to see your video pop up on my feed, I have wondered about you for a long time. Congratulations 🎉🎉🎉 what amazing news. All glory glory to God!! This is so edifying and encouraging, may He give you much grace🙏🏾
My biggest wonder about you having so many babies is how you are not so exhausted being pregnant so many years in a row! I had 5 kids and breastfed each of them for about 20-24 months. My body is so depleted and exhausted still or would have had one more. 😢 They diagnosed me with Maternal depletion syndrome and I'm still battling trying to get myself back together nearly 5 years later... So, how do you survive 17 pregnancies with all of the nutritional strain that puts on your body?
Congratulations. You are clearly really devoted to family as your life purpose. Raising them with love and giving them all the attention that you can will serve them well in the future. If you are enjoying the journey then keep on going.
You are blessed to have the health in your body to allow healthy pregnancies. My second pregnancy - due medical problems in my body was very difficult and my last. Your children appear as happy, loved, and caring people.
I am so glad to have discovered your RUclips channel I hope that you’ll be uploading more videos on your channel soon you have such a fantastic family and are an inspiration to us all
Nancy, I'd be curious to see a video about how mealtimes work for your family? Do the children help prepare food, do you all sit together, do you do family devotions at the table during mealtimes?
Congrats on #16 and so excited for you with #17. Love a short kid update on all of them. Like age favorite thing or something like that. Thanks so much for sharing your life with us
I’m super excited to see you come back! Absolutely love! One question I have is…how do you spend enough time with each child individually? What do you do? I have 5 kids but 2 are adults and have their own family…I still have trouble giving the older one the time he needs. Oh and do all of your children still live at home?
God bless you and your beautiful growing family! I was only blessed with one child but he is my world. I hope to foster and adopt in the future. Thank you for sharing your corner of the world!
I’m so excited that I found your channel,I’m a mom of 7 beautiful children and my husband and I have enjoyed having each and every one of our miracles! Wished you and your family all the best and prayers for safe and healthy delivery for you and baby boy! ❤
So glad you’re back!!! Your the only social media mom that does it right imo … especially with your tips on how you got to where you are. would love to see an updated house tour! And did your husband and boys ever finish the car they were working on years ago?
I’m on baby number 6 I’ll be 39 when baby is born but it’s our last I would have more but my age is a big factor and safest to be done congratulations ❤ children are such a blessing
Wow,..So many people can’t have kids. My son and his wife struggle with infertility. It’s amazing how easily some people are able to have children and all are blessings.
Look, I have three children….If I could have financially afforded to provide for more I definitely would have had at least a couple more babies! It’s the absolute BEST THING I’ve ever done! They’re all now 15, 17, and 19 …two girls and one boy in the middle! The best of both worlds! My children are my whole world! My best friends! I would do absolutely anything for them! I wish I hadn’t had a tubal after my third child because I know I would’ve made it work somehow financially! But everything happens for a reason! And my three kiddos completed me! So those of us judging this woman for having 17 children…..why does it matter to YOU? What is it affecting YOU?! Let them live their own life! And as long as they’re taking care of all of them and they’re all happy and healthy and loved and fed and clothed….why do you care!?
AwwwW poor babies!! May God bless the babies in this devastating economy! Not to live in their own house as if they're living in a boarding school, but to actually be happy (internally, not societally). Babies are the most pure and innocent beings and each and every one of them have their own individual personalities. May everything be okay.
Congratulations on your pregnancy couldn’t be happier for you just discovered your RUclips channel can’t wait to see more videos on your RUclips channel you are such a magnificent mama to your children
Thank you for being such a supporter of big families! My husband and I areboth from big families; we had our two adorable little girls almost back to back, and we SO want a big family, God willing. We often find ourselves saying, "What in the world would we do without them?" And the answer is always, "Dream about them!" It's amazing to have examples like you in a world that often scares people out of having big families, or just simply doesn't understand all the JOY that comes with a household full of Faith and many little feet.
So glad to see you back….I have 7 of my 8 children here with me living in an RV while we are in between houses, so any advice about keeping up with it all in a small space would be great!
society today are in need of large families because children from large families have many pros, they mature quicker, learn important social cues and etiquettes, how to think of others, share, read a room, organise, work as a team etc. Everything has its pros and cons Congratulations on your blessings
Indeed. I "tied" my tubes after just 3 because I let society (including family and friends) bully me into it. I didn't want to. My doctor knew I didn't want to but legally excused herself from blame by asking me if I was sure. No one tried talking me out of it even though they all knew I didn't want to. My gut screamed at me the whole time, including during (no, I wasn't put under). I regret it every single day, multiple times a day. My husband can't stand to see me hurting (even though he knew but didn't dissuade me either) but at this point in my life, it's probably not safe to "untie" them and get myself knocked up, so I get to live the rest of my life with this. I never wanted just three. I love them all but I always wanted more. Always. Sigh. It sucks because for many, I can be genuinely happy for them. For example, the lovely lady in this vid. But certain others, the big green envy monster comes out. Especially for people who didn't want to be parents in the first place and would've m u r d e r e d theirs if it hadn't been "too late."
@@katie7748adopt and stop whining about not being able to subject children to neglect and contribute to overpopulation. appreciate the kids you already have or adopt the ones that need homes already
@@OrganicTrashbeing a neglectful parent has nothing to do with how many children you have. Plenty of families of 1-2 kids are neglected, and many children of large families were not neglected and had AMAZING childhoods, so we now are choosing to have large families too!
@@Lotsoflittles1230Delusional. People with 10 plus children can’t give equal care to all of them. Someone is being a second Mom or put into a caretaker role.
As long as you’re not parentifying them! Kids should always have the chance to be kids and not sister moms to their siblings. I’m not saying you’re doing this. It’s just very common with huge families. 😢 It causes a lot of trauma.
Here we thought we had a large family of 7 kids and 3 are already gone from home.. but youngest are 3 and 4.. ( we are a foster family). I am certainly glad you are back! I love your laundry video!! It saved me;) I forget how old you are but you look absolutely fabulous!! Congrats on the new baby to come! Stef 🫶
Wow! Blessings to you. I don't know how you do it! - Makes me laugh to say that because people say this to me all the time and I only have 8! The Lord gives us what we need to make it thru each day! 💕
I’m not a mom, actually I’m just 16 years old but I think these videos are kinda inspiring and it shows me how if somthing is hard I can get through it because i can’t even imagine how hard it was on you mentally and physically to have 17 kids, I’m so proud of you girl keep doing what you have to do!

How do you get stuff done lol

I’m so sorry. How incredibly heartbreaking to lose three babies. 😞
Thank you very much@@kristinanoall
there are people who have sometimes 8 or 9 c sections. you can still have more.
so sorry for your loss.
Wow !!
What a blessing....
Im 60 ish and all of my friends your age have large families....11children, 12children, 15children and now u... w almost 17....
SUCH A BLESSING !!!
Praying 4 u sis !!
❤❤❤❤❤
Back in 1960s I went to school with a classmate that came from a family of 24 children. Her parents had more than one set of twins. That was a first I had ever heard of 24 siblings in one family. Have as many children as God gives to you that's between God, your husband and you and everyone else can stay out of it and mind their own business. Blessings to you and your large family.
My friend from school is the youngest of 24 kids. 12 girls 12 boys
I am 38 years old and am pregnant with my 16th baby. Children are a gift from the Lord.
My baby is already 2 weeks old. I'm fine and the baby is fine too. Praise the Lord!
No
Yes
Wow
I had my daughter at 19, & 38 years later, I’m definitely done 🤷🏻♀️😂
you are sick
Pls. Share with us how you manage such a big family with so many lovely children ? It’s almost a miracle. I am exhausted raising one boy, you are superwoman
God bless you @babybaby5893
The older kids take care of the younger kids. No one can take care of this many kids alone.
Congratulations !!!! I'm 65 and was not able to have children. I was a foster parent. We adopted our 12year old son when I was 53. He is currently 24 years old & attending LVN school with his girlfriend. I enjoy your channel.
Lovely.
I adopted my daughter at 39 years 8 months, she is a joy! I too was never able to conceive. I always wonder how many I would have had if I could. I raised two other girls for 8 years and my daughter is now 5 years old!
I have 12, and I wish I could have kept going so praise this beautiful woman, Heavenly Father, bless her.

You look so young. To say you have 17 kids...it's like you started at the onset of puberty. I love big families, so I'm happy for you.
So glad you’re back! Your channel is one of my absolute favorites:)
Congratulations. The little ones meeting the baby was adorable xx
My mom was #12 of 15, she taught me to love big families too, but I was blessed with only five.

I find myself thinking that same thing with only two.

How many children we have is The Most High's business, not ours, so you have the right attitude.

Yes, I agree!
I have one Daughter!
I have no kids. It's my choice, my business. Not that of some 'most high' whoever that is 🤣
I agree, it is a blessing to have a husband who doesn’t try to stop you from having babies. My husband is the same way and it is a gift.
Everything is permissible not everything is beneficial.
Especially in these end times….. it is written 👇
LUKE 21:23
HOW DREADFUL IT WILL BE IN THOSE DAYS FOR PREGNANT WOMEN AND NURSING MOTHERS! THERE WILL BE A GREAT DISTRESS IN THE LAND AND A WRATH AGAINST THESE PEOPLE.😬

I live next door to an identical family! Finding this video floored me as I just find it so enormously wonderful to have that many beautiful children in one family. Sometimes I sit outside and just listen to them play…they don’t fight🤷🏼♀️ and not one has a visible cell phone.
Amazing! Thank you for sharing your beautiful family😘
Congratulations and glad to see a new video:)
We had our 8th baby in May…God is good!
Pax et bonum!
So happy to see you back here Nancy. You're tremendously blessed. Thank you for sharing your updates!
Wow! Congrats! I'm currently 13 weeks pregnant with my 7th ❤🎉
This is awesome! I love this ! You and your husband are down to earth , level headed and genuine. And that’s why your children are just so cool and awesome ! God bless you guys and I can’t wait when it’s our turn !
Congratulations on you beautiful family, Nancy. Lots of love and blessings to you and your family. Thanks for sharing your experience with us 💕
I’m from a family of seventeen, 9 girls, 8 boys! I am number thirteen! Congratulations!😊
@racheljoy720 will you share with us how people clean, make, money, take kids to school bath etc. Many of us are very curious
You are so blessed to have such a wonderful family! Like you mentioned not everyone will understand why to choose to have so many kids. But babies are definitely a blessing from God, I've been trying to get pregnant for over 7 years, I am 34 now and still praying and hoping to have kids or at least 1 child one day 😀
Thank you Lord Jesus that you have healed other women and you can for this person I declare that the womb be fruitful in Jesus mighty name 🙏🏽🙏🏽💯💯❤️❤️
PRAYING FOR YOU!❤

hope you get pregnant soon
I wish I could have more kids! I’m blessed with 5 kids and my last has Down syndrome. I always asked the same question of people, “how do you not want more kids?” I just can’t physically handle more but boy am I enjoying the ones I have and looking forward to grandkids 😁 I’m so glad you are back at making videos. I think I speak for many when I say just to be a fly on the wall to see how your days go with so many hands on deck is entertaining for us.
The Lord creates us all differently and that should be accepted and embraced. 🎉🎉🎉 You are where you are supposed to be. 😄
Thank you for having so many children! Some of us didn’t know better and had just a few.
It’s the only promised blessing that people actively try to prevent.
Exactly; I wish I had more than my beautiful three. But I received pressures from various sources including my doctor. Now I know it was bunk.
I love your attitude! I just genuinely wonder how it’s possible to take care of so many kids. I have four boys, 14, 11, 7, and 16 months.

You people are baby making machines all nuts hope that you guys are working and not the government to feed them😂😂😂😂
Yes.!
The mom gets all the praise. The siblings are responsible for safety, diapering, nannying! 🙏🏾
Susanna Wesley was the 25th of 25 children. Her son John was her 15th. So many important people in history were not the first or second child, but many down the line. It's very sad that our culture doesn't welcome children as it once did. Women today sometimes don't have a strong moral compass and try to imitate men instead of being the amazing mothers they were born to be. I love your laundry system and look forward to many more of your videos. You might do one on how to not worry or how to stay calm. I've noticed that about mothers of large families. They seem so calm! Blessings!
Congratulations! Your family is beautiful. The video that is the most helpful to me is your laundry video. So ways you organize and stay on top of life is so helpful ❤️
I’m so happy for you! May all go well with the pregnancy. I’m glad you’re posting again. It’s great to catch up with you and the family 🧡🧡🧡🧡
Welcome back! Congratulations on your new baby and the precious little one yet to come🎉
I have always wanted to have a big family, but God had other plans. We have two healthy girls, but lost our 3rd baby and I haven't been able to get pregnant since then. Enjoy your big beautiful family. ❤
Thank you and I am sorry for your loss. May God bless you.
I'm so sorry you lost a baby. I can't imagine your pain. 🫂 I also thought I would have a large family but I have 3 blessings and have dealt with infertility before and after having the three of them. I'm so thankful for each child and happy for those who've been able to have many!
Hi and congrats!!
I’m a mumma of 9 sons and 7 daughters
Big families are so much fun 😊
Wow! I have one Daughter!
That is so lovely! I’m 44 with a 7 and 4 year old... I really would have loved to have a couple more children. But I am blessed beyond measure for these two buys God has given me.
I had one and was over the moon, to have more would have been lovely. This lady is very blessed
It’s impossible to pay proper attention to that many children of their emotional and social needs.
And yet most parents have no problem dropping their kids off in a class of 20-30 kids for 40 hours a week and then shuttling them off to daycare with a bunch of other kids until dinner time. We probably should get rid of all schools and daycares too 🤔 I sure how you homeschool so you’re children are receiving “proper attention”!
I believe our thinking is of low resonance @anyexner think about… the more kids means more people to be around. More people means greater potential to have your emotional and social needs. I’ve met many people as I’ve lived in several different countries. People that come from large families are by far more rounded and socially and emotionally intelligent than those coming from small 1-2 kid families. Humans are very social. Humans are built to have large families.
@@steelefarmingyou said what I wanted to say…thankyou!
Nailed it!
Women who have this amount of kids have an addiction to having babies
I have two boys, 3 years and 6 months and I can barely keep up with them. I admire how you are able to have a big family.
We are currently remodeling an old farmhouse to fit our family and I love seeing how your home flows, why you put certain kids in certain rooms, etc. Love the tours!
❤ thanks! 😊
We have 11 kids, pregnant with the number 12, due in January. You are amazing.
why?
Congratulations
@@user-rr4nl9yq1wbecause they are a gift from God and we just love having them ❤
I'm on #7, congratulations on your new addition! God surely is out here blessing us! ♥️
God has nothing to do with it. It is you and your husband having unprotected sex.
Congratulations on your new pregnancy 🎉Glad your back ,can’t wait to see what you plan to share with us!!
I love your channel! We have nine children, including 10-month-old twins, and your mom hacks are wonderful! Such an encouragement. Congrats on your new baby!!! Keep these videos coming. ❤️Many blessings from Tennessee!
Congrats! Beautiful family. I'm momma to 14 I wouldn't change a large family for anything either. They are all so amazing!
Praise God! Each child is truly a blessing, and God's grace is sufficient. Love the playhouse. Our kiddos want to design one as well.
I just stumbled on your video. I think it's wonderful that you have so many children. I was happy with my two. No matter how many anyone has is no ones concern as long as they are loved and cared for.
So good to see you back here. I completely agree....why wouldn't someone want to have more? We were blessed with twelve. Congratulations!!!
Congratulations on your 12! I just checked out your channel. Your family is beautiful!
U have a channel and didn't say... Hmmmm I'm intrigued
@sacredmommyhood
No way you are a star mum, Thank you for coming back to us ❤
The youngest is so advanced for 1 I can tell just from the clips, and that’s probably because he has soooo many examples from the older kids and I noticed that babies will learn how to do things faster when they have older children around them who they can mimic. My son learned to walk very early because we did play dates with a little girl who was about a year older and she was walking and he just wanted to keep up with her so he figured it out.
17th! wow, that is a gift. I thought having 6 was a lot haha... that is incredible. God bless you. I am sure you deal with a lot of judgmental attitudes. Whatever. Kids are a treasure and so much fun. So encouraging
As a mother of 11 children, I can tell you that God makes children we are just aloud to participate in the process. If we were like animals and every time we come together there was a child there would be a lot more children. I am the first to say I don't totally understand how God works. Thank you for your courage. I pray you have a great support group. Stand strong in the Lord. I pray you find a way to Always keep God first in your life. I chose to not take birth control ( I read the fine print) back in the 80's. Being obedient to God is more important than anything. I pray that God protects you and yours.
Living life to the fullest!!! Congratulations!
If you can afford to raise 17 kids good for you. I just see too many tv and internet parents whose large families don’t work out once they become you tube stars. You and your husband seem to be very good parents and I assume your husband must make very good money that allows you to be full time mom living in such luxury. We definitely need responsible parents raising their kids.
Lovely to hear your updates. I look forward to your videos!
Woooow! Soooo good to see your video pop up on my feed, I have wondered about you for a long time.
Congratulations 🎉🎉🎉 what amazing news. All glory glory to God!! This is so edifying and encouraging, may He give you much grace🙏🏾
My biggest wonder about you having so many babies is how you are not so exhausted being pregnant so many years in a row! I had 5 kids and breastfed each of them for about 20-24 months. My body is so depleted and exhausted still or would have had one more. 😢 They diagnosed me with Maternal depletion syndrome and I'm still battling trying to get myself back together nearly 5 years later... So, how do you survive 17 pregnancies with all of the nutritional strain that puts on your body?
Congratulations. You are clearly really devoted to family as your life purpose. Raising them with love and giving them all the attention that you can will serve them well in the future. If you are enjoying the journey then keep on going.
Your attitude towards kids is fantastic. Every child should feel so loved.
You both are blessed the word of God says we are to multiply. I guess when God says enough children, then you’ll stop getting pregnant.😊❤
You are blessed to have the health in your body to allow healthy pregnancies. My second pregnancy - due medical problems in my body was very difficult and my last. Your children appear as happy, loved, and caring people.
I am so glad to have discovered your RUclips channel I hope that you’ll be uploading more videos on your channel soon you have such a fantastic family and are an inspiration to us all
Nancy, I'd be curious to see a video about how mealtimes work for your family? Do the children help prepare food, do you all sit together, do you do family devotions at the table during mealtimes?
I am on number seven and your videos encourage and inspire me. Please keep making them! God bless!
Congrats on #16 and so excited for you with #17. Love a short kid update on all of them. Like age favorite thing or something like that.
Thanks so much for sharing your life with us
Yay! I’m so glad you’re back! Congratulations!! You look so beautiful.
More power to you!!! G-d has blessed you and your entire family.
Your joy when talking about your children is so heartwarming. I just had my 4th baby and you are not helping me at all with this wanting a 5th baby 😂😂
Yay!!! I love your input. Thank you for returning.
I’m super excited to see you come back! Absolutely love!
One question I have is…how do you spend enough time with each child individually? What do you do? I have 5 kids but 2 are adults and have their own family…I still have trouble giving the older one the time he needs.
Oh and do all of your children still live at home?
God bless you and your beautiful growing family! I was only blessed with one child but he is my world. I hope to foster and adopt in the future. Thank you for sharing your corner of the world!
I’m so excited that I found your channel,I’m a mom of 7 beautiful children and my husband and I have enjoyed having each and every one of our miracles! Wished you and your family all the best and prayers for safe and healthy delivery for you and baby boy! ❤
So glad you’re back!!! Your the only social media mom that does it right imo … especially with your tips on how you got to where you are. would love to see an updated house tour! And did your husband and boys ever finish the car they were working on years ago?
Can you give us a baby #17 update? So excited for you. Praying everything went well. 💘🙏💕
Absolutely!! Coming soon. Sorry it is taking so long to get to it. Everything went great! Beautiful baby boy!
Hi Nancy....I am also Nancy from OHIO. I only had/have fur babies....God Bless you and all your kids. I just found you on my newsfeed, Happy 2024
I’d love to hear how your adult kids are doing and hear about how it is being a grandma….
Congradulations!!you truly are BLESSED!! THANK YOU FOR SHARING❤
I’m on baby number 6 I’ll be 39 when baby is born but it’s our last I would have more but my age is a big factor and safest to be done congratulations ❤ children are such a blessing
Wow,..So many people can’t have kids. My son and his wife struggle with infertility. It’s amazing how easily some people are able to have children and all are blessings.
Look, I have three children….If I could have financially afforded to provide for more I definitely would have had at least a couple more babies! It’s the absolute BEST THING I’ve ever done!
They’re all now 15, 17, and 19 …two girls and one boy in the middle! The best of both worlds! My children are my whole world! My best friends! I would do absolutely anything for them! I wish I hadn’t had a tubal after my third child because I know I would’ve made it work somehow financially! But everything happens for a reason! And my three kiddos completed me!
So those of us judging this woman for having 17 children…..why does it matter to YOU? What is it affecting YOU?! Let them live their own life! And as long as they’re taking care of all of them and they’re all happy and healthy and loved and fed and clothed….why do you care!?
AwwwW poor babies!! May God bless the babies in this devastating economy! Not to live in their own house as if they're living in a boarding school, but to actually be happy (internally, not societally). Babies are the most pure and innocent beings and each and every one of them have their own individual personalities. May everything be okay.
Its soooo crazyyy I was just looking at your old videos and you post todayyy thats crazyyyy awwww congratulations!!
16 kids with a 17th baby on the way HOLY COW! that's a lot of hard works 17 sperm fertilizing 17 eggs congratulations!
Congratulations sweet mama!!!
Yay!!! Congrats on the baby and soooo glad to see your sweetness❤
Congratulations on your pregnancy couldn’t be happier for you just discovered your RUclips channel can’t wait to see more videos on your RUclips channel you are such a magnificent mama to your children
Children are a form of wealth in my culture - it’s called santaana dhana. The wealth of posterity. Stay blessed, momma!
Thank you for being such a supporter of big families! My husband and I areboth from big families; we had our two adorable little girls almost back to back, and we SO want a big family, God willing. We often find ourselves saying, "What in the world would we do without them?" And the answer is always, "Dream about them!" It's amazing to have examples like you in a world that often scares people out of having big families, or just simply doesn't understand all the JOY that comes with a household full of Faith and many little feet.
So glad to see you back….I have 7 of my 8 children here with me living in an RV while we are in between houses, so any advice about keeping up with it all in a small space would be great!
Congratulations! You’re using your time wisely! Wish you well.
Such courage and love, you are absolutely amazing 💕🥰
Yay! I was hoping you would come back.
society today are in need of large families because children from large families have many pros, they mature quicker, learn important social cues and etiquettes, how to think of others, share, read a room, organise, work as a team etc. Everything has its pros and cons
Congratulations on your blessings
Congratulations! God has blessed you tremendously ❤❤
So glad to see you back.
You are so brave to go against what is socially acceptable May God bless all your descendants 😭 too beautiful
Indeed. I "tied" my tubes after just 3 because I let society (including family and friends) bully me into it. I didn't want to. My doctor knew I didn't want to but legally excused herself from blame by asking me if I was sure. No one tried talking me out of it even though they all knew I didn't want to. My gut screamed at me the whole time, including during (no, I wasn't put under). I regret it every single day, multiple times a day. My husband can't stand to see me hurting (even though he knew but didn't dissuade me either) but at this point in my life, it's probably not safe to "untie" them and get myself knocked up, so I get to live the rest of my life with this. I never wanted just three. I love them all but I always wanted more. Always. Sigh.
It sucks because for many, I can be genuinely happy for them. For example, the lovely lady in this vid. But certain others, the big green envy monster comes out. Especially for people who didn't want to be parents in the first place and would've m u r d e r e d theirs if it hadn't been "too late."
@@katie7748adopt and stop whining about not being able to subject children to neglect and contribute to overpopulation. appreciate the kids you already have or adopt the ones that need homes already
@@OrganicTrashbeing a neglectful parent has nothing to do with how many children you have. Plenty of families of 1-2 kids are neglected, and many children of large families were not neglected and had AMAZING childhoods, so we now are choosing to have large families too!
@@Lotsoflittles1230Delusional. People with 10 plus children can’t give equal care to all of them. Someone is being a second Mom or put into a caretaker role.
God bless you and your family, I agree with you!
As long as you’re not parentifying them! Kids should always have the chance to be kids and not sister moms to their siblings. I’m not saying you’re doing this. It’s just very common with huge families. 😢 It causes a lot of trauma.
She is. This is what they do and they love the praise and congrats from having baby after baby.
You are blessed! I always wanted a big family.
Here we thought we had a large family of 7 kids and 3 are already gone from home.. but youngest are 3 and 4.. ( we are a foster family). I am certainly glad you are back! I love your laundry video!! It saved me;) I forget how old you are but you look absolutely fabulous!! Congrats on the new baby to come!
Stef 🫶
Wow! Blessings to you. I don't know how you do it! - Makes me laugh to say that because people say this to me all the time and I only have 8! The Lord gives us what we need to make it thru each day! 💕
