I haven't put up any tips for handling lots of kids lately. So here's one today:

When putting the kids to bed, I have found that pairing up an older child with a younger child works really well. The older child helps the younger one with getting changed, tooth brushing, etc., and they like to read to their younger siblings. This is a nice routine and helps get them all calm and settled.

Then the older kids have earned being able to stay up a little later, but they are also more relaxed themselves.

Moms with a lot of kids must remember to share the responsibilities!
