So, who has heard of the Italian designer Luisa Beccaria?

Her husband is Lucio

And their children are, from oldest to youngest,

Lucilla
Lucrezia
Ludovico
Luna
Luchino


I think all of the names are nice individually, but with all those Ls, it's a bit much!

I too am obsessed with that family. They both fascinate me and aggravate me at the same time. I LOVE their food pantry and freezer! I would totally shop once a month and stock my shelves and freezer the way they do.

As for the homeschooling....I can't imagine she teaches anything beyond the basics. How can she keep up beyond that?? And, so far as I know, she doesn't make their clothes. They either go to their local Goodwill (I'm all for that!!) or they get "hand-me-downs" from other families (so I've come to understand)...

Time and energy...here's the part where I get irritated with them. If ya wanna have that many children, fine, good for you, YAY, more power to ya...yada yada yada....BUT...for the love of God, STOP shoving the youngest kids off on the older ones.

I could go on and on about this, but not here....:P

but not here....:P

yeah, you should so email me, I'm sure we could talk about them for HOURS.
and we could have a contest to see how many of the J names we could remember. lol

but really, you're so right. there can hardly be time for more than basics. and older sibs= helpers sometimes (I've heard of situations where this works well) is ok but definitley NOT older sibs=another set of parents to look after #'s 8-16 bc Mom & Dad are too overwhelmed.

really the whole idea of that many kids makes my head spin. esp in the 2? 3? bedroom house they were in before TLC hooked them the hell up & finished building the big one.
