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.
I was surfing the web today and found an interesting site that is aimed at helping people to focus on the simple things in life that are often over looked. I thought it was an interesting concept and decided that I will participate by publishing post once in a while that just deal with the simple things.
You might be interested in looking at the site writing prompt by visiting The Simple Woman’s Day Book. Many people have posted on the site and I have found several new favorite blogs. (more…)
Holidays have always stressed me out. It was not until recently (yesterday) that I realized that it is not the holidays causing the stress it is me trying to create the perfect holiday causing stress. (more…)
Its only Tuesday and I am chalking this week up to being a bad week. I am having one of those weeks where I have a ton to do at work and home and have no motivation to get it done. It has also been one of those weeks where nothing I try to do gets done the way I intend for it to be done. Its just a bad stressful week. I want a do-over. (more…)
There has been only one Christmas – the rest are anniversaries. ~W.J. Cameron
It’s official…. the Christmas Season has arrived at the Lloyd house. Christmas starts at our house with the displaying of our Nativity set. Each year the very first Christmas decoration that is pulled from the attic and carefully displayed is the Nativity. Madilyn was very excited to see the box coming out of the attic. She has been asking me for weeks to “put out Jesus.” (more…)
We had a wonderful Thanksgiving week visiting family in Florida. The week passed by quickly and it seemed like we were packing our bags to head home way to soon.
The only downside to this trip was that David did not have the entire week off so he had to work. He was able to start work early in the day so that he could finish up early in the afternoons. So he did not miss out on all of the fun. He did have an awesome work space. He spent most of his working time on the balcony with a view of the Indian River. (more…)
Thanksgiving is possible only for those who take time to remember; no one can give thanks who has a short memory. ~Author Unknown

We have technology, finally, that for the first time in human history allows people to really maintain rich connections with much larger numbers of people. ~Pierre Omidyar
Today I am thankful for the social media. Since we live away from family and many of our friends this technology has been a great tool helping to keep us connected. I love reading notes and updates from friends and family from across the world. (more…)
“Far away there in the sunshine are my highest aspirations. I may not reach them, but I can look up and see their beauty, believe in them, and try to follow where they lead.” ~Louisa May Alcott
We don’t get to choose where we will be born or what nationally we will be born into. Today I am thankful that I was born in America. I consider myself blessed to have been born in a country in which I have so many freedoms~ especially as a woman. (more…)

Today I am thankful for all of the people who have taken the time to invest in my life. I would not be the person I am today if it were not for the many people I have encountered who helped to make a difference in my life. (more…)
I have always wanted a Mustang. Candy apple red, with a convertible top would be perfect. Of course it needs to be a 60’s model, not one of the new designs that they did in the late 80’s and early 90’s. (more…)
