So You Want to Be a Duggar: How to Monetize and Organize Your Huge Family

The Duggars have just added a new grandchild to the mix. And while Jon and Kate Gosselin’s experiment in tons of kids seems to have flopped, the Duggars seem happy, if not a little sick of diapers. Maybe it’s got you thinking, say, I think I’d like to get a group rate at the bowling alley with every family outing too!

From showing other people you’re fruitful and have multiplied via matching T-shirts to learning from the baby boomers, here are… More »

Breaking: Josh and Anna Duggar Welcome Baby Michael

TLC, the network that airs 19 Kids and Counting, has been hyping a big announcement from the Duggar family on tomorrow’s Today Show. So what’s the big news? It’s probably not news that one of the kids is engaged or that Jinger finally escaped from Arkansatraz. The announcement is that oldest son Josh Duggar and wife Anna Duggar have just welcomed a son, Michael James Duggar. More »

What Does Kim Kardashian Have In Common with the Duggar Family?

Kim Kardashian has just given what Crazy Days and Nights refers to as her “annual wedding vision interview.” In other words, every time she’s in a relationship she gives at least one gushy interview where she announces her plans to marry whoever she’s dating at the moment. This time, she has upped the ante by saying she has been brainstorming baby names. Apparently, Kim wants to keep with family tradition and give her names that start with the letter K. More »

Video: The Duggars Visit Focus on the Family

The Duggar Family Is Taping an Episode at Focus on the Family

The Duggar family, who star in TLC’s series 19 Kids and Counting, keep a close hand on the editing of their show. Although they do talk abstractly about their religion, they steer clear of delving into specifics. They have long been accused of being part of the Quiverfull movement, an evangelical strain who believes in actively trying to have as many children as possible in order to create an army for Jesus. Though they’ve publicly denied their affiliation with Quiverfull, they have quietly (and off-camera) attended events associated with the movement. They’ve never attended church services on camera (possibly because their church is in their basement), but they have done things like take a trip to the Creationism Museum.

Now, fellow large-family-haver Chris Jeub (whose family appeared in an episode of TLC’s now-cancelled series Kids By the Dozen) has announced on his blog that the Duggars will be attending a Focus On the Family event this weekend in Colorado Springs, Colorado. More »

The Duggar Family is expecting their 18th child

Happy Mother’s Day, indeed. The always expanding Duggar Family is now expecting their 18th child. Right now, she’s about six weeks along and everything seems to be going well; the last baby they had is only 9 months old. So, obviously, in their highly regimented home of automatons, there is a block of time scheduled for “getting bizzay.”

I have mixed feelings about all these kids. Personally, if I could afford that many kids and WANTED that many kids, I would… More »
