Cree 500 Lumen Bright LED Flashlight Torch


Love that this comes with a storage box. With it being rechargeable it means there will be less batteries wasted. Our daughters seem to go through batteries like water because they always leave them on when they fall asleep. 

Now we can just recharge the flashlight and it is good to go. I also like that it sent the charging unit with it so that I don't have to go around and find one. Easy to use, adjustable light span, compact, and powerful.

Clean Car





Looking for a great gift for a car lover or even just a set to have around to clean your car with. This two piece set, one mit with two sides, and one the same on both sides. You can wash, scrub, dust, and polish your car.

My husband prefers to wash our cars by hand but with now being disabled unless the kids do it for us we go through the car wash. I have found that the blue fluffy mitt works great for dusting around my home, and the other mitt is used along with the first for the kids to clean up the bottom part of car, or wherever they can reach. It isn't always perfect but they are always proud of their work.

You can find these mitts on Amazon.


What Exceptional Home has to say about their product.

  • *  Wash, scrub, dust, polish, buff, & dry all with these two mitts.
    *  Scratch-free, Streak-free, Lint-free
    *  Use these mitts in your Car, Truck, Motorcycle, & Boat Detailing.
    *  Our microfiber is the latest top-of-the-line version, so it is plush and doesn't catch on your skin.
    *  Use the sponge scrubber to remove unwanted bugs & bird droppings from your vehicles.

*Microfiber combines polyester & polyamide. Polyester gives the material strength & durability. Polyamide allows the fabric to be tremendously absorbent & quick drying. 
*Microfiber is smaller than hair, so there are many more strands at work cleaning per square inch than a cotton cloth. 
*Microfiber attracts even the smallest dirt particles, ones that cotton cloths would typically brush past.
Why This Cleaning Set Is Better 
*Use the dry microfiber fingers as a duster for your car or furniture. They get hard-to-reach areas such as grills & vents. 
*Use the wet microfiber fingers to wash surfaces large & small. 
*Use the sponge scrubber to remove unwanted bugs & bird droppings. 
*A complaint with other microfiber mitts is that they hold too much water & get too heavy. Because this mitt is 2-in-1, that does not happen. 
*Use the towel mitt for polishing, buffing, & drying your car or stainless steel appliances. 
*These mitts have a non-slip elastic cuff & comfortable inner lining. 
*In the home, your mitts can be used to Dust Furniture, Wash Windows, or Clean Stainless Steel.

Two Mitts Included For Either Your House Cleaning or Car Detailing Kit

Balaclava






Winter is just around the corner. With that comes hats, mittens, scarves, etc. I really like the idea of a Balaclava because it combines a scarf and hat into one, is lightweight, and convertible.

I get respiratory infections easily so being able to keep my breath warm by having a scarf over top of it makes it so I don't cough as much when I am out and about in the cold.

This is a hat that can be worn by everyone in the family and still look fashionable while keeping you warm and toasty. Plus I can wear this hat even if I have a ponytail in.

No more missing tops






I have other silicone ice pop molds but after a while we lost all of the tops so they were pretty much useless although I want to contact that company and see if they have replacement lids before I toss them out.

This set from Greenco is really awesome because the caps are attached, no more lost caps, no more mismatched caps.

I like order, no mismatched socks here. it drives me nuts. These ice pops are just as easy to use as other silicone Popsicle molds on the market but you don't have to worry about missing tops, which makes these that much better.

One thing my husband does not like about regular store bought ice pops are the packages being left all around the house or yard. Yes my children know where the garbage is I just think they don't understand that even though they are playing and having fun they still need to put trash where it belongs.

Now we have no more messing wrappers, and no more missing tops.  Easy to wash and store. Now to just stock up on enough of these to keep my kids in Popsicles for hot summer days.

You can find these silicone ice pop molds on Amazon.

Stainless Steel Step Trash Can






Love this trash can although I wouldn't mind having a larger one for my kitchen this works great for our bathroom. We will be using this for our bathroom compostable products such as dryer lint, toilet paper tubes, hair, etc.

PRINCESS TENT




Very cute and much larger than expected. Perfect for my girls and my grand daughters to play in. My daughter likes to have tea parties inside, cuddle up with her dolls while reading, and sometimes even falling asleep in her little castle.

Great for both inside and outside play use. Easy to put together but may be too hard for a child to put together on their own.

4 extendable poles are what hold the shape up. Come with a bag to store the 4 poles in as well as the tent. just grasp both side of the circle and make a figure 8 with your hands and it will fold right up to fit inside of the bag. Bag has zipper and handles for travel, storage, and convenience.

We have had a few like this but none quite this big before. We have had pop up tent structures before and they are really fun to have around for children to play in. Great gift idea, or a finishing touch to your little Princess's room.

You can find this Princess Tent on Amazon.

Shaving in style





Growing up I always love to watch my father shave his face. Watching movies you will see bathrooms with straight razers, leather straps, shaving brushes, shaving soap, and fancy cups to keep the shaving soap in. That is the kind of bathroom I want minus the straight razor of course. 

So I was finally able to score my husband a nice Badger Hair Shaving Brush to complete the bathroom set I was hoping for. OK we still need shaving soap but for not my husband is happy using shaving cream. 

Easy to use, super soft, rinses well, and looks fantastic. 

You can find this Badger Hair shaving brush on Amazon.

What Estilo has to say about their product.

Shaving Brush generate a wonderful, creamy, rich and warm lather. The densely filled brush head is ideal for holding and distributing lather. Helps soften and raise beard while gently exfoliating the skin in preparation for a close, comfortable shave. This is the ultimate shaving brush! Directions: Moisten face with warm water to soften hairs. Wet shaving brush, shake off excess water, and rotate brush over shaving soap to create desired amount of lather. Apply lather in a circular scrubbing motion to shaving area. PLEASE NOTE, that as with all genuine badger hair brushes, slight shedding may occur during the first few times in use.

Storage Wardrobe Closet




We live in a big house, our bedroom is upstairs but now that we are both disabled it is really hard sometimes to make it upstairs to even clean, and worse to even get in bed sometimes. We have really thought about moving but it is not an option at this time. So we thought we would change our computer room back into a bedroom so that we would have a backup bedroom downstairs just in case.

Sadly the bedroom downstairs only has a small closet so this Storage wardrobe closet from Ohuhu is the perfect item to add space for clothing. Great for making a closet in a bedroom or room that does not have any. Can be used for out of season clothes if you change out your wardrobe with the seasons.

Also great for those who craft , sew, or knit. You can store your products neatly inside with all of the cubbies, hanging space, etc. Just roll down the cover when not in use and all is neat and tidy.

Pretty easy to put together, and looks really nice once set up.  The only thing I can think of that would make this better would be for wheels to be attached to the bottom so you can move it around easier.

You can find this wardrobe closet on Amazon.

Composting Made Easy




We compost our products, from kitchen waste, dryer lint, newspapers, leaves, garden plants at the end of the season, etc. With that we have been building a compost pile which we use for our garden.
Most people who compost will have a bowl or container on their kitchen counter or somewhere near to store their compostable products.

In the summer months you deal with fruit flies, smells, etc if the bowl or container is not emptied out daily or washed. Our daughter would usually take out the bowl when it was pretty much overflowing which in the summer she would be reminded with fruit flies, and a very yucky smell.

When I saw this compost pail we just had to give it a try. and try it we did. Heaven pure heaven. Has a pretty big area for storage so it can last a few days depending on kitchen use, a sturdy handle for carrying it back and forth to the compost pile. No more broken handles from the ice cream containers we were using.

This also has a top that keeps out the fruit flies and other crawlies. It has a charcoal filter which keeps smells pretty much none existent. I love that it has a top because now my daughter knows if the top doesn't fit on then it needs to be emptied. No more overflowing bowls on my counter.

Last but not least this looks great on my counter top. No more ugly bowls or ice cream containers. This compost pail truly fits our family to a tee.

You can find the Estilo Stainless Steel compost pail on Amazon.

Stainless Steel Compost Pail provides temporary storage for fruit & vegetable peels, eggshells, coffee grounds, tea bags and other kitchen scraps to transfer to garden composter.

Aleratec 2-in-1 Tablet Stand/Hand Strap Holder

















I have a case I really like but it is getting worn out fast from constant use. I have been eyeing a new case I hope to get soon, but a nice alternative until my case comes in is the Aleratec 2-in-1 Tablet Stand/Hand Strap Holder. This is really nice.

Healing from Incest



MarksvilleandMe reviews
Healing from Incest
Written by
Geri Henderson
&
Seanne Emerton


This is not the general area I usually hit here on my site. Matter of fact I usually keep this on my other site One Mother's Account of Daily Life or even my Sibling's Separated a true story which I really need to get back to if I ever expect to finish my story or even get it published one day.

There is a long story behind my conception, birth, and finally me being taken away from my bio parents and placed with my forever family who happened to be my bio Uncle and Aunt on my bio paternal father's side who were supposed to have me from day one. Instead they were finally able to hold and keep me when I was 2 weeks old.

I am 10 of 12 because my mother was the kind of women who had twins and gave one away and took one home. From family stories the real number would be 12 of 14. I know we all read or hear the stories but my life was almost snuffed out by this women hours before the police arrived and found me hidden by my older in the woods during a rainstorm the night before. Sure I was in the hospital for weeks with pneumonia but if my sister hadn't done what she did I would not be here today.

And to think I was the lucky one. Out of all of my siblings I am the only one who was not  sexually abused by a family member. I am the only one who had a stable family growing up almost from the very beginning. I didn't have sick parents who were abusing their children and having their children abuse each other.

With that years later as I find each of them or they find me their lives have been full of fear, regret, remorse, hatred, and so many other feelings that I just could not understand. Then even though it skipped me it happened in our very own home. I won't say which children or who the aggressor was. We are past those times but still healing. It seems like it will be a lifelong sentence of healing, watching, and hoping it will never happen again.

When a child trusts someone to do the right things they think if someone close to them asks them to do something or does something to them it is OK. I never kept what happened to my siblings quite, my children grew up with age appropriate warnings of what not to do with anyone, and to always come to us for help. Trust is what hurt them, and now we are in the process of trusting again, no so much the person or persons who did this but that all people are not like this. You can reach out, there is help, you can heal.

This book helped out with lots of areas I didn't understand so that I can be there for both my siblings and children. I may be one of the youngest siblings but I still have compassion for what they went through, and love for my children who I never thought would ever have to worry about such tragic events.

This book is not the beat all of all books but it is one of many that are helping our family to heal, while helping me to be able to understand what they have been through.

You can find Healing from Incest on Amazon.


In speaking about Healing from Incest, Susan J. Lewis, Ph.D., J.D., Healing writes: “"Brave, profound, touching, healing. This well-written, honest book takes the reader inside the complexities of the therapeutic healing process from the patient and therapist's unique perspective. It is the story of hard work, hope, commitment and recovery!" Healing from Incest tells the journey of a victim-turned-survivor, working with her therapist to find healing. Readers are pulled into the therapeutic process as Henderson relates her conversations and feelings as a victim of child abuse and Emerton interprets those feelings and describes interventions. For those who recognize this as their own story, this frank and genuine narrative will be reassuring in its descriptions of one woman's journey toward hope and healing. About the front cover: kintsukuroi(n.) (v. phr.) "to repair with gold"; the art of repairing pottery with gold or silver lacquer and understanding that the piece is more beautiful for having been broken.

Instrumental Lullaby CD





I was one of those mothers who read to my baby in the womb as well as listened to music with them in my womb. I sang to them as infants, and matter of fact still do to my older children as well as my grand daughters.

Singing is one thing that has always helped calm and relax our children. This music CD is great because the rhythm is like that of a resting heartbeat, like a calm mother humming to her child.

Very comforting for both mother and child. I can tell you this put me and my 7 year old to sleep and can not wait to share it with my grand daughters the next time they are over for a visit. The last time I facetimed with my daughter and grand daughters I sang them some of their favorite songs that I would sing to them when I was taking care of them.

Your child hears your voice the whole time they are in the womb so don't be afraid our singing voice is not up to snuff because to a child just hearing your voice is sometimes all they need to be able to drift back off to slumber, if you don't want to chance it with your voice there are CD's like this one that can help you out and be there when you can't be there to sing to them.

You can find this Instrumental Lullaby CD on Amazon.





ARE NIGHT TIMES AND NAP TIMES CHALLENGING FOR YOUR BABY?Are you looking for peaceful lullaby music but don't want to hear Twinkle, Twinkle for the thousandth time? The original music on this CD can help.

Ryan Judd, a board-certified music therapist with a master's degree in psychology, has developed these modern lullabies specifically to help bring you and your little one into a deep, restful sleep.

These instrumental guitar compositions are based on the most recent research that shows the positive effects of music on sleep.

The soothing ocean waves create a womb-like sound experience and produce white noise to drown out household sounds. This evidence-based music creates the rhythm of a resting heartbeat which can help you both relax, fall asleep and sleep soundly.

This CD includes:

1. Modern Lullabies composed by a board certified music therapist

2. A soothing ocean track that continues throughout the entire CD and between tracks so there aren't any breaks or silence between songs.

3. All of the tracks are played at the rhythm of the resting heart rate.
