Welcome to Common Chaos Chronicle - The Ultimate Family Survival Manual
Raising a family is hard work. Raising a large family is best described as CHAOS!
"How many children?" you ask... Only 5. And a very awesome step daughter. So we'll just round that up to 6 to make numbers easy.
They are my life, the reason I get out of bed each morning and I wouldn't change it for anything in the world. I am not insane (no matter how many times I get told I must be), a little vague, distracted and loopy sometimes but in the end I'm just a Mum.
Welcome to my blog. A day to day insight into running a large family in country Victoria, Australia.
