NEVER ENDING BAD DAY Review & Giveaway



MarksvilleandMe reviews
Never Ending Bad Day
written by 
Lady Jenniviere

As a parent I love reading books, but I also love to read to my children, When I read to them most of the time it is just for fun, but I also like to read books that have a lesson built in. The Never Ending Bad Day has the lesson of friendships and not preparing for things you know you have to do. 

My 12 year old liked this book the most because it is at her reading level and she could really follow along understanding the whole book. Now that we have read book 6 , we need to go back and read books 1-5. Looks like a new book series my daughter will enjoy reading. I don't mind buying books that my girls enjoy, because it keeps them interested and improves their reading literacy along the way. 

You can purchase Never Ending Bad Day on Amazon.


What Lady Jennivier has to say 
Middle grade fiction for ages 8 - 12.
Deja Vue. The feeling you are repeating a moment. We have all experienced it. A second or two that seem oddly familiar.

What would happen if your entire day was deja vue? What if you know exactly what will happen, but nobody believes you? And what if it just happens to be the worst day of your life? And what if you know tomorrow it will repeat all over again?

Well for Misty Bentley there is no what if. She did not want the last day of summer to end. She and her best friend Stanley Green were having a wonderful summer vacation when the pair stumbled across a fountain. Without a thought, Misty tossed a coin in and wished the day would never end. As fate would have it, her wish was granted.

Regrettably, the day turned out to be the worst day of her life. Humiliation piled on humiliation. Injury was added to insult.

If she has any chance of catching tomorrow, she must convince Stanley they are repeating the same day and together they have to figure a way to undo her wish.
Never Ending Bad Day  is the sixth book in the Lady Jenniviere's Quill series of preteen books.  Each book has an underlying moral.  This book centers around friendship and the consequences of neglecting preparation.

'The Hippo Who Did Gymnastics' children's book Review



MarksvilleandMe reviews
The Hippo Who Did Gymnastics
written by 
Micheal Rank

Since the children are off for vacation I thought we would read a few extra books this week, catching up on my reviews, while having extra snuggle time with my girls. It is a win win situation. 

After reading 'The Hippo Who Did Gymnastics' to my 7 year old daughter Dorothy I asked her if she learning anything and the first thing she said was that Hippos can do things just like everyone else. Of course you would have to read the book to understand why she would say that. 

I then asked her if she saw anything different about the Hippo compared to the other animals. She couldn't come up with anything. I said are they all the same size? She said no. We then talked about how some people will make fun of others who are bigger then they are thinking they can't do things just because of their size and how surprised they would be to find out that the bigger person can often do the same things they can, and sometimes even better. 

Then we spoke about situations she might see or come across in real life situations and how she should handle them. This was a good book, a little void of colors but cute non the less. 

You can purchase 'The Hippo Who Did Gymnastics' on Amazon.

ABIGAIL And The North Pole Adventure Review



MarksvilleandMe reviews 
ABIGAIL And The North Pole Adventure
written by Tali Carmi

Here is yet another great children's book from Tali Carmi. My daughter Dorothy who is 7 liked learning about igloo's and some of the animals from the North Pole. Each of Tali Carmi's books take you on an adventure to learn about animals, their habitats, and to discover places that many children will never see in real life. 

I try to teach my children that learning is a life long process, something that never ends, and something they should always strive for. One way of doing this is to read each day. 

You can purchase ABIGAIL And The North Pole Adventure on Amazon.

3-in-1 Cree LED Flashlight with Magnetized Base Review




The 3-in-1 Cree LED Flashlight with Magnetized Base is a great item to have in your home and car. Great when you need light, say in a storm, or when you are out on the road. Having children ourselves there are times when the lights go out and the little ones need a little more reassurance everything is OK. Building a Fort and letting them play with flashlights is a great way to get through the storm. 

As a parent breaking down along side the road, with a vehicle that won't start is a sure sign you will need some light until rescue comes along. With the 3-in-1 Cree LED Flashlight with Magnetized Base I feel that much safer being a female driver that I will never be left without a light to shine.

Indian healing Clay Review



I love clay or mud masks but what I love most about the Indian Healing Clay is that it comes in powder form and I can reconstitute how much I like, when I need it. You can use clay for facial masks, mud baths, food soaks, bruises, insect bites, achy joints etc. Clay is just so versatile. 

Using it for my joints is my newest way of using the Indian healing Clay. I just mix up what I need to cover the spot I want to treat I like to use hot water to make it warm, then apply to area, let dry like normal, I then put a hot washcloth or hand towel on the area and then wash off. Feels so good. Please remember to test it on a small part of your body to make sure that it is not too hot.
