Insect Excavation Kit

I am a very lucky mother to have had both boys and girls who both love to learn about things including bugs. My two girls recently were able to try out this Real Bug Dig Kit and they loved it. I think they were more excited about what bugs they might get then actually doing the dig. They had a bet going on what they would get. As a parent I love that they were learning while having a good time. 

I use these kinds of activities when my children have a snow day or it is raining outside and they can't find anything else to do.

You can purchase the Insect Excavation Kit here or on Amazon.

Victoos Reusable Nut Milk Bag - Fine Mesh Strainer

I have reviewed several milk bags and they all work well, some are larger then others, the Victoos Reusable Nut Milk Bag - Fine Mesh Strainer seems to be about average at least from what I have seen.

I use my milk back to make mascarpone cheese and almond milk. I still need to make a video so my readers can see the milk bags in action. I no longer have to use cheese cloth and the milk bag is reusable. The next thing I want to try is making our own Greek yogurt, yummy.

Tiffy's Terrible Top Hat

MarksvilleandMe reviews

Tiffy's Terrible Top Hat 

written by

Lady Jenniviers Quill

If you have a child that is dealing with bullying then this might be the book for you and your child to read together. Mind you that a little bit into the book it does say "if she still believed in Santa", so if your child still believes this might not be the book, but for most tweens, they have already made up their mind to believe or not believe. 

With bullying getting more and more media we are finding it getting more and more out of hand. It is like all of the mean people have to outdo everyone else that was mean before them. I know many of these children learn from their parents but there are still many children who decide to be this way all on their own. 

Sadly most of those children become adult bullies as well, and history just repeats itself over and over again. Children need their parents are loved ones to be there for them and to guide their children to make the right choices in life so that when they grow up they will be able to be supportive community members.

You can sign up for a free ebook from LadyJennivieresquill here.

You can purchase Tiffy's Terrible Top Hat on Amazon.


What Lady Jennivieres quill has to say about her book.
Middle grade anti bullying adventure for ages 8 - 12.

Twelve year old Tiffany Rinks is a beauty queen, talented, smart and the school bully. She spends her days terrorizing the other kids. But it looks like the tables have been turned. Now she is the victim of a cruel joke.
Can she unravel the cause of her torment? Or will her bullying and lies cause the loss of her most prized possession?
Some lessons are only learned the hard way. For Tiffy, it looks like this might be a very hard lesson.

Supreme Guard Tempered Glass for iPhone 6

As with other Tempered glass screen protectors you have to make sure you have a clean surface to start with before you apply your protective screen. I really like the Tempered Glass protectors because they work so much better then the thin plastic cover you can buy.

The Supreme Guard Tempered Glass for iPhone 6 is another great choice out there to provide an extra buffer of protection for the ever rising price of cell phone and other tech.

You can purchase the Supreme Guard Tempered Glass for iPhone 6 here or on Amazon.
