Caroline loves to play with her toys.  I love this aspect about my sweet girl, but she has the hardest time keeping her room organized.  In fact, this child figures out away to make the biggest messes, despite my many organization efforts.  Therefore, I put away all the separate plastic bins and attempted to make…

A month ago, my family and I were heading to the coast of GA to spend a week on the ocean.  We were driving on a busy interstate, nearing the GA coast and eagerly anticipating our arrival on Jekyll Island (a familiar family vacation destination), when we were {scared to death}.  As we drove along…
