Happy Hour #62 is with my friend Janet Reeves. Janet lives in Austin with her husband and four kids where she volunteers at her church, her kids school events, and with Redeemed Ministries.
On today's show we discuss parenting kids through their disappointments, Jesus weeping with his friends, and how she walked through years of her husband traveling so much. Janet shares about her experiences at the Grammy's and how it's not as fancy as you would think it is for some of the artist. Janet and her husband have traveled out of the country a handful of times with all four kids and she shares some of those experiences with us today.
{You can listen to the show HERE, and make sure you never miss a Happy Hour by subscribing through your favorite podcast app (ie. iTunes, Stitcher). And of course, I would love if you would share with your friends!}
