Trying to get out the door for church with 7 kids ages 10 & under 🤪💕 My biggest advice when it comes to making going to church easier is be consistent. My kids ages 3 and up know the drill and know what to expect because we have been doing it consistently since they were several weeks old. 

Yes some days you are going to wonder “what’s the point?” While you miss the sermon running after your toddler but God sees you. I love the saying that when you are in that season of life you are “worshipping with your feet” 🥹

But again, the consistency is what’s going to make it click with them. So stay the course, I absolutely promise it’s worth it!

Also, since we are all later risers (around 8am is when everyone gets up) Tim thought of the idea of giving them a snack before church then doing a big breakfast after so we aren’t rushing. Our kids usually aren’t that hungry first thing in the morning so the snack is perfect and ties them over until we get home! 

What do your Sunday mornings look like?

15 years of marriage and our first date night without baby boy!! Even though he is baby number 7 I still struggle a little when we both leave him! Did you have hard time leaving your baby for the first time?

With seven kids, there’s always something we forgot or unexpectedly ran out of, so having essentials delivered with @DoorDash has been such a lifesaver  #DoorDashPartner #BackToSchool

Hey, I’m Chrissy Horton—mom of seven, and in this video, I'm bringing you along for another home renovation update as we transform the house I grew up in into a home that works for our family.

Thanks to LMNT for sponsoring this video! Use my code HORTONLANE and head to https://drinklmnt.com/HORTONLANE to get your free sample pack with any purchase.

This whole journey has been emotional because this wasn't the plan. We thought we'd be building a brand-new home, but life had other ideas. Now we're remodeling the house that holds so many childhood memories while trying to balance nostalgia with the reality of raising seven kids.

I'll show you the progress we've made, the design decisions we're second-guessing, and why we've had to make some big changes—from removing unsafe stairs and reworking oversized spaces to creating more functional areas for our growing family. It's messy, exciting, and honestly a little scary watching a home filled with memories become something completely new.

If you're following our renovation journey, come along as we navigate the highs, the lows, and everything in between while creating a home our kids will make memories in for years to come.

Why We Gutted My Childhood Home Image

Why We Gutted My Childhood Home

Here is how we get our 7 kids, ages 2 months to 10 years old, to bed each night! I have really been trying to start our routine earlier for an earlier bedtime but it’s hard when the sun is shining until 8pm! Also I’m a night owl so double hard 😝 

What does your night routine look like? Do you start earlier or later? Is it different on Friday nights?

The cutest one piece swimsuit and cover up combo! It looks like a gorgeous dress that’s perfect for vacation! This suit works with my postpartum tummy, and easy to nurse my baby in! If you are worried about support, I like to wear a push up halter top bikini in a similar color underneath!

Hey, I’m Chrissy Horton—mom of seven, and in this video, I’m sharing one simple mindset that has completely changed the way I approach motherhood: not everything is a fire drill.

https://perelel.yt.link/4s8lX1v and use CHRISSYH20 for 20% off your Perelel routine.

With seven young kids, it’s easy to feel like everything is urgent—but I’ve learned that constantly rushing, stressing, or reacting rarely helps anyone. I’m opening up about my own struggles with patience, running late, losing my temper, and learning how to slow down, give grace, and focus on what truly matters.

We’ll talk about how social media rarely shows the hard moments, why yelling never gets us where we want to go faster, and how a simple question—Is this actually a fire drill?—has helped me become a calmer wife and mom. This is still something I’m working on every day, but I hope it encourages you to give yourself grace, embrace the chaos, and find more peace in the middle of family life.

This dress on repeat! I got it in black as well because it is the perfect summer dress! Easy to dress up or wear casually. So soft and stretchy! I love how it flows given my postpartum belly and it’s easy to nurse in!
