It’s Thursday! Which means it my day to write about this week’s prompt over at The Today Voice.
Thank you for your continued support and enthusiasm since we launched our new writing project last month. I especially appreciate those of you have taken time to comment on my posts over there and share your thoughts on the prompts each week here and/or there.

The prompt for this week is:
How did you choose the career you are currently in?
I enjoyed writing about this week’s prompt. Making the decision to be a Stay at Home Mom (SAHM) is one that I have never regretted. Though my job is not always easy, I believe it is worth it to be the primary caregiver in my children’s lives.
I neglected to mention in my post over at The Today Voice that Bob and I were very intentional in planning and preparing for me to be a SAHM. We bought our first house (a small tw0-bedroom Georgian style home) based only on Bob’s salary, so we knew that we could afford the mortgage payment without my income.
Also about a year before Sean was born we started saving my paychecks instead of including them in our budget and spending. We did this both to give ourselves a cushion after I stopped working in the professional world and so we could practice living on just one income. This really helped us with the financial transition and to grow into our new life a family of three and eventually four, with our angel Molly in Heaven.
