My daughter and I will be the main authors for this site. At least, until I can rope more family members into joining in on the fun. We are related to quite a few people in the area so we have a lot of family to call on.
I am a mother of four children who range in ages 30 to 13. Two boys, two girls, and two granddaughters, 2 ornery cats, and two dogs between us. I have also acquired a 4 year old grandson. My oldest children have recently moved out on their own but they are not far. Actually they live within a few miles of us. My two youngest children are teenagers and just as hard-headed and stubborn like their older siblings.
My mom and I run a few websites and are hoping to finally make enough to cover all of our expenses and maybe have a little left over to travel around the state or maybe even a few other states before we get too old to travel and enjoy.
We are all hoping to provide our readers with helpful and interesting information about the different areas of town so please stay-tuned and if you have a suggestion feel free to email us at: jolene.macfadden@jacksonvillesbeaches.info.
