As a stay-at-home mom of two young boys, I can honestly say I'm busier now than ever.
I'm not complaining, though, because I am absolutely grateful for the things I've taken on, but occasionally I just need 5 minutes to...
In just a few weeks the kids will be out of school, and summer will officially have started. I love having my kids home for the summer. We plan lots of fun activities around town and take advantage of many of the free and cheap things going on in Jacksonville.
