My friend Rachel and I, after many outings with our combined children, thought that we should publish a book that reveals the truth of what homeschooling or large family experiences are REALLY like, not the Christmas Letter version. We often fantasized about this to try to bring some sort of artistic cast to one botched adventure after another.

It was a normal day in the Ruch family. I was trying to be productive with three small ones with little to show for my efforts. I needed to go to the store for some home items, so I packed the 5, 3, and 1 year olds in their carseats, tight as stuffed sausages because of all their winter garb. We parked at T.J.Maxx, and I got the baby situated with a click, carseat to cart, my oldest daughter and son walking beside me. I knew I was an idiot to try and go through this store accompanied by curious and creative children yet to be raised, but I had no other option.
