A MEGA-MUM of 12 children shared a glimpse into her chaotic lifestyle on social media.
Courtney Rogers, 37, and her husband Chris started having children 12 years ago when Courtney was 26 years old.
They now have a hefty brood of 12 children all under the age of 12 years old.
Courtney said: “I was nearly 26y when our oldest was born and had NO clue we would end up with 12 children (including twins).
“I’m very happy being a stay at home mum and can’t imagine doing anything else.”

But as well as caring for a dozen little ones, the family have a farm of animals to look after.
Courtney said: “We’ve always homeschooled and started doing some farming six years ago. We currently have Aussies, sheep, pigs, and chickens.
“I have plans to expand our gardens and poultry next spring and we’re waiting on our female sheep and pigs to give us babies.”

Courtney has faced judgement for how quickly she’s had her children, but encourages others to ignore the naysayers.
The mum explained that she found out she was pregnant when he last child, her daughter Cade, was just three months old but chose to keep the news quiet.
She said: “I purposely waited until we had moved across the country to announce. Why? Because I was somewhat embarrassed and worried what people would think.
“Looking back now I ask myself, ‘What did have to be embarrassed about?’
“Mamas, there’s always going to be someone who thinks you’re too young, or too old to have a baby.
“Everyone will have an opinion on the ‘best’ spacing and will give unsolicited advice on the ‘perfect’ family size.
“Don’t let anyone steal your joy of seeing that positive test. Your baby is loved and wanted by YOU and that’s all that really matters.”
