Welcome to Growing Up 8, a podcast specifically set up for my family, but which you are free to enjoy listening to. This podcast centers around a series of stories about growing up in a large family in the 1960s-1980s. From the day to day struggles of growing up with seven siblings, to taking long road-trip vacations, filled with Stuckey's Stops, souvenir treasures, and driving adventures. If you are a little nostalgic for the wonderful years spanning that time period, these stories are for you.
