Raising 10 Kids and a Congressman


Family Pic Oct 2009 

 Getting everyone in the same spot, on the same day, at the same time,
 is a real test of my logistic skills.  My family loves to test my moxie by presenting me with grumbling, excuses and reasons of why we should do family picture day on another day.  I can't believe they still do not know me when I have a mission!  Well it is that time again and we are going to get this done!  I have made up my mind to be cheerful and stoic in my perseverance in this endeavor!  It's going to be great!

Who?  

My name is Christie Schilling, wife of my one true love, Bobby Schilling, and mother of his 10 kids.  Yes, that is a 1 & 0, or as Billy Long, a friend of Bobby's likes to tell us, we have four and a half dozen.  That is 4 girls and 6 boys.  We are a hard working Freshman Congressional Family, who owns and runs a pizza place named Saint Giuseppe's Heavenly Pizza.  I love photographing my kids, laughing, cooking, baking and gardening.  We are a Catholic family, we are blessed by God and we owe Him everything!  

What?

This web site is dedicated to inspire and encourage women - young and old, married or not, no kids, small kids, big kids, baby kids, gone kids, naughty or nice kids, in an all-embracing, humorous, and creative way, and to love God, country and family.  It's dedicated to sharing ideas and spreading the word through social media and word of mouth

Why?

The reason I launched this web site is to give insight into how our family works and how much we love God, our country, our family and our neighbors. I thank God every day for all of you and all the gifts that He has given to my family and me. 


Hope you enjoy this site and I would love to hear from you. 

 God Bless all of you!
