Weekends

     Sometimes you just need to disconnect and relax. This weekend, I shut off my phone and wifi router and spent some time just being me. I was able to reconnect to being just a mom and have some quality time with Taylor. The leaves are changing and a joy ride was exactly what I needed. 

    It rained nearly all day on Sunday, but Saturday was beyond gorgeous. We spent our early morning at a local eatery ran out of an old house. The musky smell was something that seemed off,  but the food was incredible! The homestyle southern breakfast was exactly what I needed after a long week of activities. The strangeness of converting a house into a place of business was something that still perplexes me. They even left the old framed photos on the walls up. I used to clean that house as a teen, and nothing has changed but the random tables everywhere. Nothing matches, including the plates and cups. 

    After a much needed meal we continued our day with more leisure driving and site seeing. I have lived her my entire life and I still love to go see the leaves change from a high vantage point. It never gets old! 





    Weekends pass by way too fast. It is my personal mission to make the most of this time with my family. During the week we are so rushed and pressed for time. I feel like I'm missing out on watching my toddler grow up.

The Teacher's Lie by Brid Cummings

     A book review at its finest. I think every book is worthy of a review, so here goes nothing. I think the overall story is worth your time, however, I feel like the person who read it aloud on audible did the book dirty. Her accent and weird pausing in the middle of sentences really threw me off as a reader. I actually went back and purchased a paper copy. The author kept me guessing throughout each chapter, but the book was slow moving. I would put it down often to just take a break.      I would give this book a 3 out of a 5 due to the pacing and sequencing of events in the plot. Do not listen to it on  Audible, because it's terrible and dry.

LGFCU to Civic Bank

      This transition or merger has driven me absolutely crazy. I hate it and cannot even fathom how everything will work out. As a customer, I'm so annoyed and the lack of answers by actual people is ridiculous. So, I guess it will be only online banking? With school, a toddler, and a small farm I have not had the chance to move everything over to a different bank. It wouldn't matter anyway, because I have a loan through them that will transfer to the Civic bank.      Ahhhh!  Today, our cards stopped working and I was so upset. I had forgot and didn't get money out of the ATM beforehand. They forget that some of us are over 30 minutes away from the nearest town! I guess cash is really KING! I just home all my automatic withdrawals don't mess up along with everything else. I have no idea how older people will get through this phase. Both my mom and grandmother don't even use computers and can barely operate their phones. Both of them have never even us...

Tonies

      I'm not a big spender and this gift was not from me. A family member purchased my daughter a Tonies starter set. It is geared for children over three years old, but Taylor has fell in love with the characters. She opened it Christmas Eve and has played with it on and off ever since. It was an unexpected gift that was WAY out of my price range.  Review:      My personal review is nothing but positive although looking online made me realize how much was spent on my child. It appears that said family member paid over $100 for the set. I'm unsure it is truly worth that price, but it is entertaining.  Taylor is old enough to understand that when the character is placed on top it plays music. She will then dance around it while laughing. She only gets to play with it when we are there to supervise. Tonies has made a creative way for kids to access entertainment without having a screen in their face. As a parent the set up was somewhat confusing, b...
