Last week we took a family vacation. This vacation was a splurge for us, because we just recently went on a cruise. We don’t normally do two big vacations in one year. However, with this being the first summer in 4 years that I have not been in school we thought it would be fun. Plus Madilyn is the perfect age for her first trip to Disney World. (more…)
Family
The Lloyd family consist of David, Donna, Caleb and Madilyn. We are just like any other family and are trying to make the most of our lives. The post found within this section are about our everyday life from my point of view and maybe an occasional musing from David.

Caleb and his "new" used car
The state of Georgia saw fit to give Caleb an official drivers license. I am so glad that we took the time to get his license before our vacation. The new GA law that took effect on July 1 is making the Department of Motor Vehicles an nightmare for those seeking renewals and licensing. However, I am conflicted with how I feel about this milestone in his life.
Dance Camp….

In the dance studio
Madilyn has been begging us for months to let her take a dance class. I had looked for a place that would offer affordable lessons at a time that worked with our schedule but could not find anything. (more…)
40 for 40…
Monday, July 2nd, 2012
Guess what I am 40, and I am not ashamed. There is nothing wrong with being forty it has got to be better than my 20’s and 30’s. My 20’s were spent in school and trying to have a baby. My 30’s were spent in school and trying to adopt a baby. I am not sure what I will do in my 40’s since I am done with both school and growing my family. (more…)
Are you wishing summer away?
Tuesday, June 26th, 2012
I often wonder if I am the only parent out there that does not dread summer break.
It saddens my heart to see parents posting on Facebook and Twitter that they can not wait for school to get back in session. (more…)

A day in the life….
Monday, June 18th, 2012
For some reason my daughter has always had the need to know “whats, next” or “then what.” She is definitely a child that lives by and needs a schedule. She needs a structured day and she thrives in that type of environment. If her day is not structured she becomes frustrated and usually ends up driving everyone in the house crazy. (more…)

Today I am linking up with all of the other ladies at “The Simple Woman’s Daybook” site. The goal of the site is for people stop and take a few minutes to focus on their present moment in time. Sometimes we are way to busy thinking about and doing things for the future that we skip right past the present. (more…)

Madilyn went to the dentist for the first time yesterday. She is nearing four years old and she should have gone long before now. I guess its better late than never. (more…)
