LITTLE ROCK -- A small, portable fan blows cold air through the cramped living room, providing a comfortable breeze as Mini Muhammad points to photographs of her 12 children.
"When I first had all those children -- those first six children -- we lived everywhere," Muhammad said, laughing.
The framed pictures line two adjacent walls. Together, they resemble a long timeline that spans Muhammad's seven sons and five daughters, as well as a decade-long drug addiction that came to an end five years ago.
