I am a Catholic homeschooling mom of 6 kids, married to Chief for the past 25 years.  The kids range in age from 3 to 24.  They’ve all been homeschooled, (except the youngest because I don’t start “formal” education until around 5) and our oldest 2 are both soldiers and I’m very proud of that.

    Congratulations!

    I liked very much your page. What attracted my attention in first place, was the name.

    In spanish, “be what you are” can also be translated by “I know what you are” (“Familia, se lo que eres”) as verbs saber and ser are written and pronounced the same way in that case .

    In my opinion, it makes a lot of sense, because John Paul II invited us to recognize our nature but also to teach us what families are, even if they seem to have forgoten it.

    I´m also a father of a big and happy family and would like to invite you to visit our blog:

    I am enjoying your spot here! I am also a homeschooling mom, I have 7 children and have also experienced the great loss of pre born children. We lost 1 at 13 weeks, 1 at 8 wks in 2005 and one at 9 weeks in 2007.

    Our oldest is Tony and he is going to be 20, he is in the seminary for our diocese. Our youngest is 5 and he is the sweetest gift to the family.

    I don’t knit, but I sew and quilt and do other crafts. We have the same print hanging in our dining room, the gal with the black hair who is in the center of the picture looks like our middle daughter! We loved the details, so many things to look at and the fact that all of them came knowing they would be welcomed. There is a warmth in the picture and the lighting on the faces of the kids makes me feel joyful!

    I will definately look around here and take encouragement from another faith filled Catholic mom. Keep up the good work!
