In March, 2017 we decided to band together to form Crazy Cady Sisters to co-author a hilariously heart-warming non-fiction story about parenting, child-rearing, and growing up in a family with ten children.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas! And in the Cady household that means kicking your creativity into high gear. 

What would you do if you had ten children and no money for Christmas? And what exactly does Christmas look like when ten sets of hands are poised, ready to rip open their Christmas gifts - is it chaos, or do Monte and Barbara make us sit quietly, tormenting us as we watch each and every present opened by our siblings? What about decorations? Traditions? Jokes? Christmas trees and more? The questions and possibilities are endless, and you never know what the answer may be in the Cady home.

Follow our family as we recount some of our favorite, least-favorite, and downright bizarre stories of parenting and growing up in a family with ten siblings! We'll add a touch of nostalgia by focusing entirely on our favorite holiday of the year: CHRISTMAS!




Snippet:

“Susan, leave it alone,” Mom said while holding Cathy on her lap, handing Patty an ornament, and answering at least fifty-seven questions from various children simultaneously. It didn’t take us long to get the boxes emptied and the ornaments nestled in their piney beds where they’d stay for the next twenty-five days. Peggy and Judy wrapped the limbs with red and gold metallic garland, and Dad hurried to his room, walking out with a bucket (yes, a bucket!) of miniature candy canes.
