What creative solutions do you have to handle your large family? What became of the estranged relationship with your oldest daughter? What keeps Wendy looking so good after 13 births? Your lifestyle scares the daylights out of me. Why not you?" Families of all sizes will appreciate the Jeubs' creative solutions to raising children and managing a home. More importantly, Chris and Wendy honestly tell their life story trials and blessings alike that will inspire its readers to a renewed vision for family life.
