Have the babies 💕 I get a lot of criticism for having a big family. And I get so many messages from women saying, “I want another baby, but my family thinks we have enough.” Or, “I already get comments about having four. I’m scared of what people will say if we have another.”

Then I look at my children. These are PEOPLE. Precious, irreplaceable souls with personalities and gifts and lives that matter. I get to know them and love them and watch them become who they were created to be.

Being their mom is one of the greatest honors of my life. The thought that fear of someone else’s opinion could have kept me from ever knowing one of them? I can’t imagine it.

Every family has to discern what’s right for their own family but don’t let other people’s expectations make that decision for you.

If the life you feel called to build looks different from the life other people would choose for you, have the courage to build it anyway. ❤️
