It's official! Large families are good for you!

Scientists from the University of California, San Diego, said that higher levels of pregnancy hormones may have lasting effects on the blood vessels, decreasing the risk of dying from cardiovascular disease compared to women who have never had a baby.

Sounds good to me!

You can read more on their findings on how having a big family is good for you here.

We have some breaking news to tell you!

I know what you are thinking.

You're wrong.

Earlier on I asked for your opinion on what you would like to see on this blog.

One idea we came up with was to have a forum where we could all gather and form an interactive community.

Well, after another morning of work I am pleased to announce that the Larger Family Life Family Forums are here!

We wanted to provide a safe, comfortable place where we could chat and get to know our readers better.  It isn't just a place for large families but for everyone.

There is a forum for general chat, as well as somewhere to share your pregnancy, a homeschooling forum, a cooking forum and a healthy living one.  We also have a forum for old style thrift.  You can leave your comments and suggestions for anything else you think we should include.

Whether you have a large family already, hope to have a large family one day or are simply curious about them, I hope you will register and join in to make this new community grow into a great place to be!

Please spread the word wherever you can!  The Family Forums are ready and waiting.  They just need a community to use them!

Edit: It has been brought to my attention that people using IE or Firefox to register cannot see the captcha code and so can't complete their registration.  I have tried it out and can confirm that the captcha can be seen if you use Google Chrome though I don't know what the problem is with the other browsers.  All I can ask at the moment is if you can please use Chrome to register with, then once registered you should be able to use the forums in your normal browser.  In the meantime I will try and find a solution to the problem of the invisible captchas in other browsers, but as I'm not techie minded at all don't hold your breath that it will be any time soon!  I apologise for the inconvenience. 


It seems to be working okay now so there's no excuse not to sign up!

Our book on large family life is almost finished - whoo-hoo!

As you might know I have spent a fair amount of time recently trying to put together the Larger Family Life book. I am now at the point where I see the end in sight and my fingers will be taking a holiday from all the typing they've been doing.

The book will cover a range of information. We'll be covering everything from how we ended up with a large family and the reasons behind it to answering the most commonly asked questions we get. We will also be sharing some tips and tricks we've learned along the way. If there is anything in particular you would like to ask or to be included this is your very last chance to get it in! Leave a comment or email me at family (at) largerfamilylife (dot) com

What I would like to ask you out there with large families yourselves is what large family websites or resources have you found informative or invaluable? It doesn't matter what country you are in, I would like to try to build up a list of international resources for large families around the world for inclusion into the book. Again, please leave a comment or email me at family (at) largerfamilylife (dot) com. You can also leave a message on my Facebook wall or tweet me with my Twitter handle @largerfamily.

Thank you all for your help and support!
