LOK Main - This is the site's main board. Here you'll find general talk about large families, life in general, plus a lot of fun polls and more. Everyone is welcome on this forum--big family or not! The only criteria is that you be supportive of large families.

Friends & Family - A special forum for those who may not have a large family, but have a connection to one, perhaps as a family member or friend. This forum is also for those who love the idea of large families, but may feel uncomfortable posting in our other forums.

Homeschooling - A wonderful board where homeschoolers can meet other homeschoolers and share ideas about curriculum, teaching styles, get and offer advice, and much more.

Household Tips - Forum where our visitors can share tips and ideas on housekeeping, organization, car care, yard maintenance, cooking, and more. This is a general forum, so anyone who wants to get homemaking advice and share their tips is welcome to participate.

Mega Families - For our "larger than large" families, who have 8 or more children. Share the particular joys and trials of having a full house, and then some!

Playgroup - Originally an extension of our pregnancy forum, this is a place where all LOK moms of children aged 0 through 4 can come together and share the joys of their young children.

Pregnant/TTC - Oftentimes, many moms trying-to-conceive or pregnant another child cannot find a lot of support on regular TTC/expecting board simply because others cannot relate to what they are going through. We created this special forum to fill that void.

Special Needs - It is challenging parenting a special needs child. This is particularly so when you have a large family. This forum is a place where large-family parents with special needs kids can come to share the ups and downs of having a challenged child.

Weightloss & Healthy Living - A special place where parents of large families can come together to offer support in the areas of weightloss, fitness, and living a more healthy lifestyle in general.

LOK Talk - A special board for discussion of off-topic and hot-button issues which concern us all, not just as large families.
