Frequently Asked Questions
“How do you do it?” is a popular question for our family of 15 kids. Here’s our attempt to explain some of the “how.” Leave your comments on what you would like us to answer! We’ll do our best to fit an answer in.
Money
One of the biggest questions we get: “How can you afford all those children?” Believe it or not, we live modestly and frugally…and we live like kings. We do not rely on government assistance of any kind, either. Lots of answers here for how we keep things together financially.
- What kind of health insurance do you carry?
- How do you budget for Christmas?
- How do you cook for such a large family?
- How do you keep your groceries between $500-$700/month?

- How do you keep things quiet?
- How do you find enough time for each child?
- How do you celebrate birthdays?
- What’s the end to the Alicia story?
