Book Giveaway: A Sane Woman’s Guide to Raising a Large Family
OK, here’s your chance to be one of the first people to own a copy of my book. A Sane Woman’s Guide to Raising a Large Family shares the story of the growth of our family, as well as the hints and tricks I’ve learned over the years that help me stay sane as a mother of many. I’d never claim to have all the answers, but having a large family has forced me to become more efficient.
Some ideas in the book are tailored specifically for larger families, but many ideas in every chapter could work for any busy family, large or small. As an added point of interest, some of my very favorite blogger-mommas have graciously shared their wisdom for this book, including Shannon (4 kids) from Rocks in My Dryer, Carrien (3 kids) from She Laughs at the Days, Jane (7 kids) from Building the Ark, and Jenni (12 kids) from One Thing.
I will be giving away one copy of this book every week for the next 4 weeks. To be entered in this week’s giveaway, simply mention the giveaway in a post on your own blog and link to this blog post by Saturday morning. Saturday afternoon, I’ll randomly choose one commenter as the winner of the book. Here’s a cool thing: in future drawings, those of you who have already written a blog post about the book will be able to enter the next drawing by simply commenting on that post.
That means if you mention the book on your blog this week, you’ll have four chances to win. Do it next week, and you’ll get three chances to win…and so on, until all four books have been given away. I’d be very grateful for a mention on your blog at any point in time, but mentioning it soon will give you the very best chance of winning a book.
International readers are welcome to enter the drawing. And if you don’t have a blog, don’t worry. Simply visit the sample pages of this book on Amazon , and click on ‘Surprise Me’ at the bottom of the left-hand sidebar. Clicking that link will take you to a random page from the book. Select one sentence from that page and type it into a comment on this post. And that’s it- you’re entered.
Good luck to everyone!!
I can’t wait to read you book! We are currently a small family of four, but praying to grow larger!

I’ve had your book in my wish list on Amazon since December, which is what brought me to start reading your blog. Kudos!

“No wonder he was miserable”
Night time wakings are no fun at all, although now that I have been getting good sleep for a few years, I can appreciate that bleary eyed quiet one-on-one time in the middle of the night for the bonding time it was.
I blogged about it!
