Make baking fun and easy





Baking doesn't stop here in Marksville just because it is Summer. Matter of fact we probably bake about the same amount we do any other time of the year except for the Holiday and then we go into overtime.

During the summer not everyone can get out and make s'mores due to water bans or burning bans so lets use the recipe that was included with my silicone baking sheets for S'mores Cookies to make a treat the whole family will enjoy.

Last for days and is so easy to bake with silicone sheets that leave you will cookies that will make you go S'more please. You can find the recipe for S'mores Cookies here.

Keeping your children busy during the summer part 1




Summer is officially here in Marksville. My 18 year old has graduated, my 12 year old is attending British Soccer and once that ends will be attending the Drama program for most of the rest of the summer. My 7 year old has kind of been left in the dust this year for activities, so I have been putting little projects away for her so she had things to do in between our family plans for the summer.

One of them is this Doll Night Gown sewing kit. It does say ages 9 and up so I will be right next to her while she does this and will report back on how things go in another blog with the same tags and labels so my readers can find it easily in the next few weeks.

I really like that it came with everything but the scissors to cut the fabric. That means I don't have to search the house for a needle, thread, pins, etc. We can just reopen it back up and get right to business.

As a mom I really like projects like this that are clearly laid out so that the project comes out as expected and not totally different. Not that we don't like different it is just that we don't like when things don't look anything like they are supposed to or something that gets your child upset because it is too hard for them to achieve what is shown.

If you have extra fabric around your home I can see the pattern being used for many more nightgowns so your child's doll will have a nightgown for each night of the week. I have a feeling my daughter will want me to find fabric of a similar color so she can have a matching nightgown of her own.

I really hope to see more patterns and kits in the near future from this company to keep my daughter sewing for years to come.

You can purchase the Complete Sewing Package for 18 inch doll Nightgown on Amazon.

Is your skin ready for summer?



Summer is here but is your skin ready? I deal with dry skin all year round and in the spring or early summer I like to use a exfoliating body scrub. The exfoliating body scrub I would like to tell you about today is made with dead sea salt and natural oils. One of my favorite brands to use is Adovia, because it is made with ingredients that will help my skin shine and are animal cruelty free.

I personally have a bleeding disorder so I don't scrub really hard on my legs, but I do scrub my feet with Adovia to keep the dead skin away. The scent is amazing. Like I am right near an ocean. I think this is what I love most about Adovia. The scents are really that amazing. 

You can purchase Adovia's exfoliating body scrub on Cleopatra's choice, Adovia spa or on Amazon.


What Go Pure Naturals has to say about their product.
THE SEA SALT BODY SCRUB: Made with Real Dead Sea Salt - 100% Pure and Genuine for an infusion of 21 Minerals Essential to Proper Skin Function. Great Exfoliator and Moisturizer.

THE BENEFITS: Fine Grain Dead Sea Salts Exfoliate the Top Layer of Dead Skin Cells to Reveal a New Younger Looking Layer of Radiant Skin. Deeply Moisturizing Oils Infuse Skin With Luxurious Hydration that Lasts All Day

Works Great in The Shower or Bath - Also a Great Hand Exfoliator to use in the Sink or Foot Scrub
