Mandy is mom to six beautiful children. She and her husband Joe were blessed with all six within 7 1/2 years. Life is crazy and hectic, but truly a blessing. There are days that are hard and getting out of bed is an accomplishment, but in the end, it's all worth it.
Her children range in age from 5-12 years old with 4 boys and 2 girls. She homeschooled the oldest four until moving to Dallas, Texas in 2016. She spends much of her waking hours signing weekly notes to teachers and schlepping kids to soccer games and practices. When everyone is together, their home is rarely quiet and there is always something to "put away," but these days are truly sacred and Mandy treasures all these things in her heart.
Having a large family has many challenges, to be certain, but the joys and the blessings far outweigh the stress. Mandy and Joe had never planned to have a large family, and don't intend to have more children naturally (unless God has other plans), but adoption may lie in the future. They count their blessings every day as they train up their children to be mighty for the Lord.
