Happy new week! My 18 year old son has three job interviews this week, and I am nervous for him! I remember those times of trying to come up with good answers to all the questions, and yet not look scared-to-death at the same time…I’ve always admired my husband’s ability to overcome anxiety, and go ask an employer for a raise when he thought it was warranted. I’ve always been so timid, that I would be petrified!

, Meal Plan for the Week of February 23rd, Joyful Homemaking

We had a few creatures poke their heads out this week despite the snow. I think it may have something to do with the fact that my hubby filled up the bird feeder in the back yard, and there was food scattered on the ground… The kids and I really enjoy watching the birds, chipmunks and squirrels during the day.
Ok, here’s the meal plan for this week:
