There's almost always one area that needs attention due to the simple fact that organization requires maintenance, but also because I am not a minimalist and I have lazy, messy tendencies!

This year was easily my favorite July 4th to date! We drove up to my parents' house in Tennessee early that morning and got there just in time to catch their small-town parade.
