Paper & Twine Liquid Chalkers Review

MarksvilleandMe reviews Liquid Chalkers

When I signed up to review this item I had heard of them and even had the Liquid Chalkers on my wishlist, so it was a pleasure to be able to try these out with my family. Our children love to draw with chalk, but as a mom I don't enjoy it as much as I used too. 

With Liquid Chalkers I don't have to worry about the weird feeling I get while holding traditional chalk, and the colors are even and beautiful. Liquid Chalkers are dust free, toxic free, and have a 365 day guarantee. How about that? 

These can be used on almost any non porous service. Such as glass, chalkboards, white boards, mirrors, windshields, and ceramics. Just think of the possibilities. I used to write on our mirrors to leave messages for my girls with crayon, but now I can use Liquid Chalkers and they clean up so much easier. 

I am going to let the girls go crazy and decorate a few windows with them for the Holidays. I hope to see a bigger line of colors in the future but until then MarksvilleandMe will be having fun in a dust free and colorful way.

You can find Liquid Chalkers for sale on Amazon.

Netflix, Friends, Family, & being Thankful

Being thankful in our family is a huge deal, God is a big part of our life and being able to see a new Veggie Tales movie is just what we needed. Veggie Tales in the House streams November 26th. I apologize for being so very late with this post but I have been battling being sick on and off all month. Right now the antibiotics that seemed to be working seem to be making me sick in a whole new way, if I am not better soon another trip to see the Dr. will be needed.  Even with being sick there isn't a day that goes by that I am not thankful for the time I have with my friends and family. 

Below you can see what  you can do for a craft with your children to go with the Veggie Tale Theme.

 Check out how to make your own veggie stamps here.

A nice veggie treat recipe is below.

Cucumber Rolls with Veggie (Tales) Cream Cheese  

Ingredients

• ¼ cup roughly chopped roasted red peppers
• ¼ cup oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes
• 6 baby carrots or 1 small carrot
• 1 stalk celery
• Pinch salt and pepper
• 1 (8-ounce) package regular cream cheese or reduced-fat cream cheese, at room temperature
• A few cucumbers, either English cucumbers or medium garden cucumbers

Instructions

1. In the bowl of a food processor, add all the vegetables plus salt and pepper. Pulse until the vegetables are finely chopped, about 30 seconds to 1 minute. Add the cream cheese into the food processor, and continue to blend until cream cheese is incorporated with the vegetables, scraping down the sides of the bowl if needed.
2. Now for the cucumbers: There are two ways to achieve cucumber slices. You can use a mandolin to make the thin, lengthwise cucumber strands. Or, you can do as I did and use a vegetable peeler to also make lengthwise strands. With either one, you want to stop once you reach the seeds of a cucumber, switching to use the other side of it. (Save any remaining cucumber parts to toss into a future salad.)
3. Then, place 1 or 2 cucumber strips on a cutting board (2 cucumber strips on top of each other allow for a sturdier vessel). Spread a thin layer of the veggie cream cheese down the cucumber strip. Starting on the smaller end of the cucumber, roll it up. Continue with remaining cucumber strips, making as many rolls as needed. Note: There will be leftover veggie cream cheese—all the better to slather on things like bagels, crackers, cherry tomatoes, and more.

Bob the Tomato and Larry the Cucumber are the perfect pairing. Did you know though that Netflix has a ton of other shows that offer perfect pairs? Check out the list below which also includes Veggie Tales in the House!

Here in Marksville we enjoy our own medley of family favorites this month such as Dutch, Funny Farm, and new to us Free Birds. Of course Christmas is right around the corner so we have been watching plenty of movies to get into the spirit such as, Christmas with the Kranks, Heart of Christmas, Frosty the Snowman...etc.

To do with the friend theme I would like to add The Baby Sitters Club, Beaches, Steel Magnolias, Romy and Michele's High School Reunion, Stand by Me, as well as Now and Then.

Some of our favorite finds this month were Season 2 of WolfBlood, as well as watching Deep Space Nine. Our family is diverse in what we watch but we always have time for movie night which can happen at the drop of a hat, and since I have been sick the girls and I have had plenty of downtime to do just that.
