doin' it with a dozen

welcome to doin' it with a dozen!

We’re Caleb and Tamara, raising twelve kids—eleven boys and one girl—in the heart of the Ozarks. Our family is a little different, and life is rarely quiet, but we wouldn’t trade it.

Our story is one of faith, loss, second chances, and a whole lot of love. It’s a story that brought two families together and gave us a new beginning we never expected.

Today, we’re sharing what it’s really like raising a large family—from homeschooling and farm life to cooking for a dozen, family adventures, Branson, Missouri and Silver Dollar City, and the everyday chaos that comes with twelve kids.

It’s messy. It’s loud. It’s sometimes completely crazy.

But it’s our life—and we’re Doin' it with a Dozen.
