10L Blue Dry Bag


Skorch bags are way better then I expected. My daughter now has a new back for swim days at school. Easy to use and can be used for just about anything that includes keeping your wet clothes from touching dry items, or for keeping your important items dry if you are boating, fishing, etc. 

I am personally impressed with how easy it is to use and clean. 


You can purchase the 10L Blue Dry Bag on Amazon.

Laser Maze Jr.


Most of my readers know that our family loves board games, but finding something new and different from everything that is out there is hard to do, that is until companies like Thinkfun step in with something new and fun to play.

When I told my husband we were getting a laser game he was intrigued, trying to wait patiently until it came in. Now my husband will play board games but he doesn't enjoy them nearly as much as the rest of the family. He has a few chosen favorites and like me has been looking for a new game that would be fun for the whole family. 

Laser Maze Jr. is great. I really hope they come out with a larger addition as well. Laser Maze Jr.  was loved by everyone in our family from my grand daughter who is 3 up to my husband and I who are 43. 

Thinkfun is a one of those companies that understand what mom, dads, and children want from a game. 

You can purchase Laser Maze Jr. on Amazon.

Priority Chef Knife Sharpener


My husband has carried several different knives with him for different jobs he has had over his lifetime, and one thing he is always looking for is a better knife sharpener. In our home my husband is also the knife Sharpener because sharps and me do not mix. 


My husband likes how the Priority Chef  Knife Sharpener has a hand hold that sits flat on the surface making it more safe for your hands and body. Nothing is full proof but he says this is the best one he has owned and seen so far in his time of using knife sharpeners. That says a lot because he does not easily like things that are new, unless he has personally picked the item out. 

The Priority Chef  Knife Sharpener is as easy and 1 & 2 there is no three.

Check out the how to video below

You can purchase on Amazon. 


What Priority Chef has to say about their product.
  • Not All Knife Sharpeners Are Created Equal! - This Priority Chef knife sharpener is different from the many other knife sharpeners available on the market today. Most sharpeners will create a typical straight 'V' shaped finish. This Priority Chef knife sharpener model PC-KN02 will create a concave shaped finish to your knife, giving an extra sharpness that most other sharpeners can't compete with.

    Ergonomically Designed Handle and Non Slip Base - The stylish knife sharpener's handle has been designed to fit comfortably when in use allowing you a good firm grip and has a soft, cushioned non-slip base under that stylish steel base!

    Please Note - This knife sharpener is not suitable for serrated or ceramic knives.

    2 Stage Knife Sharpening System - Priority Chef's professionally designed advanced knife sharpener has 2 stages that can transform any straight edged knife to a new level of sharpness that almost any professional chef would be proud of. Stage 1 uses Tungsten carbide blades and should only be used for the dullest of blades. Around 3-4 pulls through this section will prepare your knife shape for the the next step. Stage 2 uses 2 ceramic wheels that will give your knife a high quality finish and a razor like edge.

Dream Dots

I wasn't most teens I didn't deal with breakouts unless you count the one I get every month around my cycle, other then that I have been acne free. On the other hand my children who have a bit of their father in them each had their own bought with acne, some worse then others. My daughter  who can sing no problem for YouTube really wanted to do this video but put it off to the last day to turn in my post. 

See here in Marksville everyone tries the products out that are meant for that age or gender and then they tell me how they liked it what could be better, etc. This is one of the products my 18 year old was generally excited to tell me just how great it works. 

This was an easy to use and product that does what it says it will do, which all of love to hear because that means it is worth handing over the dough for.

Do forgive the rough video but like I said it was her first one where she isn't actually singing or in the background talking. 






You can purchase Dream Dots in two sizes on Amazon.

What Dream Dots has to say about their product. 

A Dream Dot isn’t simply a sticker — it’s a unique super absorbent hydro matrix patch. It targets spots and breakouts overnight using no harsh ingredients, yet gives dramatically effective results. With a 100% waterproof, breathable, satin-smooth, wafer-thin surface, it acts seamlessly as a second skin, conforming to any contour of the face. On contact with the spot, the patented core locks in and absorbs the spot exudate. A moist healing environment is formed, maintaining ideal pH balance, temperature and hydration levels while sealing in repair factors, which leads to faster healing. Pain is reduced as nerve endings are cushioned and protected in this moist condition. The patch swells and turns white overnight as it absorbs exudate giving a visible reduction in redness and inflammation when removed in the morning.

Awesome Headphones that are affordable.



Recently I was given the opportunity to work with a great company that makes products that work well and are affordable. As a mom I really can not get over how much headphones are and how often I have to replace them for my children because they wear our, get lost, or they are stolen.

With Flow from Sentey I don't have to worry about giving up too much money or buying something that is just going to break down on our family fast. People may still try to steal them and I wouldn't be surprised to see these become a new favorite of many on the money savings alone.

These were easy to open as you can see in my video review on YouTube under MarksvilleandMe. Easy to set up and yes I now know how to turn the volume on my iPad Mini. Really I am still learning how to use some of the technology.

For parents of children, teens, or even for yourself, you will be pleasantly surprised by the quality. Now to order some more to put them away for my girls for Christmas.

You can purchase these headphones on Amazon.
