Holly IN Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 I know I have this book but can't find it. She was on a show long ago and wrote a book about raising a family with all boys. The book was full of practical ideas. Thanks Holly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Night Elf Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 I am going to go crazy today trying to think of that! I read it too. It was a great book. I'm trying to google for it but am coming up with nothing so far. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carol in Cal. Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 "The Family Nobody Wanted" is a book about a preacher and his wife who adopted 12 children, most of them racially or ethnically mixed, before this was even remotely 'normal'. Loved that book. "Cheaper by the Dozen" and its sequel, "Belles on Their Toes" are about the Galbraith family, raised by early efficiency experts who were real characters (especially the dad). "Yours, Mine, and Ours" is the story a widow with 8 children and a widower with 10 who get married and have at least one or two more. This was the family that was featured in the Langendorf Bread commercials on TV when I was very young. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lionfamily1999 Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 "Please Don't Eat the Daisies" comes to mind, but she didn't have as many kids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Audrey Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 I know I have this book but can't find it. She was on a show long ago and wrote a book about raising a family with all boys. The book was full of practical ideas. Thanks Holly Practical ideas on how to deal with 12 boys?? I need that book, too, then. Because I only have 1 boy, but there are days it feels like I have at least 10 or 12. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holly IN Posted January 28, 2009 Author Share Posted January 28, 2009 This was a very old book. Probably written around the 1991 to 1993 years. I can't believe I can't find the book. I know I have it!! :glare::glare: I would love to read it again. Believe it or not, it was one of the books that got me started thinking about homeschooling. I know they weren't homeschoolers but there were stuff in that book that clicked. Holly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brenda in FL Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 10 sons not 12, published in 1997, not 1991-1993, but it too has practical advice: Good Families Don't Just Happen by Catherine and Joseph Garcia-Prats. Is this the book? It was excellent - I should read it again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosie_0801 Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 Someone with 12 boys had the time and mental energy to write a book? That'd have to be worth reading! :001_huh: Rosie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
