Michelle Duggar has been pregnant for 12 years if you combine all the time she spent carrying her 18 children. She and her husband, Jim Bob, have two sets of twins in their brood aged one month to 21 years old.

The mom and dad made famous by TLC's 17 Kids and Counting took time away from their family to chat with me via phone about their new book, The Duggars: 20 and Counting!, and the topics — marriage, raising children, conservative values, financial freedom, and faith — it covers, while their newest addition Jordyn gurgled in the background. The couple was candid, open, and incredibly kind. And if you assume they set out to have kids by the dozens and name them all with the letter "J," then think again!

After suffering a miscarriage, Michelle and Jim Bob, who are religious, chose to forgo the birth control they had been using and leave it up to God to decide how many children they would have. Michelle, now known for her soft voice and calm demeanor, spoke of a time when she had five children under five, was exhausted and shedding tears. She credits her faith for getting her though the challenges of motherhood.

As far as their children all having names starting with "J," in the text, Jim Bob and Michelle explain that they initially picked names they liked that all happened to start with the same letter for their first three children and then continued the trend not wanting the newest baby to feel left out — only they never suspected there would be so many names.

Finding the perfect top that can be worn to accompany your tot on kindergarten interviews and out on date night isn't an easy task. If Ses Petites Mains made this beautiful Agnys Blouse ($44) in mommy sizes, I would buy it in both colors and consider my shopping task complete. The fine wale corduroy shirt, which comes in either light pink or green, has beautiful gathers throughout, elastic cuffs that create a stylish bloused look and a belt that ties in the back. A San Francisco-based company known for their fine fabrics and handmade designs, Ses Petites Mains' designs are classic enough to be passed on to future generations in your family. And if you are in a retail mood, the company's entire Fall line, "weekend in the country," is on sale on their site.

They say kids grow up fast, but Ty, the toy company famous for making Beanie Babies, has given Malia and Sasha Obama a lil push. The manufacturer is now marketing dolls in the supposed likeness of the 7- and 10-year-old first daughters. Only instead of capturing their classy and age-appropriate essence, the young ladies were made to look like identical teenagers. What's your opinion — would you buy these for your child?
