Xtreme Canteen


Love this hot or cold drink Canteen. Doesn't  matter if you put hot of cold liquids in this Canteen it can keep it both cool or warm. Winter Hot chocolate, Summer cold water or Lemonade please. 

Works as stated and holds 32oz much bigger than my 20 oz favorite water bottle. This might just become my new best friend.

This has a wide mouth so you can put nice pieces of ice inside, Keeps your drink cold for hours without ice and for more than a day with ice. I have only had two water bottle before this one that could do that and they are both from the same company this is the second company I have worked with that make a water bottle that is worth paying for. Thumbs up.


This canteen can be found on amazon.


The Xtreme Canteen is a double wall, vacuum insulated, stainless steel canteen. You can put any liquid inside of it- we like to say, “If you can think it, you can drink it.” If the liquid is chilled before entering the bottle, it will remain chilled for approximately 14 hours (without ice). If you put ice inside the bottle, the ice will stay frozen for >24 hours, ensuring your liquid is icy cold for >24 hours. If you put a hot liquid inside the bottle, the liquid will stay hot for up to 12 hours. The outside of the canteen is coated with a special paint, ensuring the canteen does not sweat. Not only does this canteen have fantastic qualities, it is also BPA free. Nowadays, single use plastic bottles, regardless of how long they are kept in the sun (or other places), release extremely harmful chemicals (like antimony) into whatever liquid is in the bottle. These chemicals cause a multitude of health problems, such as dizziness, headaches, and even depression. Our Xtreme Canteen eliminates the problems caused by harmful chemicals found in plastic. 

The Xtreme Canteen also ensures an average person drinks the right amount of water every day. Since our body is composed of 60% water, it is extremely important (and recommended) we drink 48 ounces of water every day. The positive benefits of water are infinite- water improves the body’s circulation, raises energy levels, removes toxins, carries nutrients and oxygen to cells in the body, and more. If people drank a total of 3 full 32 ounce (or even 40 ounce) Xtreme Canteens each day, they would reach their daily water intake quota, guaranteeing improvement in their health.

Not only does the Xtreme Canteen promote healthy living, it also promotes a healthy environment. An average person spends approximately $1,200 a year on purchasing single use plastic bottles. These single use plastic bottles are then thrown away, filling landfills, or floating around in the ocean. By using the Xtreme Canteen, you automatically support a greener and cleaner environment.

New Games for Marksville




MarksvilleandMe reviews Last Mouse Lost & Go Bong 
Our family loves to play new games and the Last Mouse Lost was no different except maybe only 2 people can play at a time. Our family loves to play new games and the Last Mouse Lost was no different except maybe only 2 people can play at a time. This is recommended for ages 5 and above. Last Mouse Lost takes 10 or less minutes to play.

I like that it is light, small, no pieces to lose, and very fun and easy to play. The object is that the last person who punches a mouse down will be the loser. My girls also love to just push all of the mice down and reverse the play piece and start again, kind of like a stress reliever. 
Last Mouse Lost is the perfect quiet game for a car ride. There are no small pieces and if it falls or flies through the air it shouldn't hurt anyone or anything. It is small so it doesn't take up much room. The board is made out of a Silicone type material and flips over once your game is done to start again.

Go Bong is new to our family we have had Last Mouse for quite sometime and it still keeps our children busy. Go bong gives you 6 different ways to play with almost the same kind of board as the Last Mouse Lost does. Our favorite way to play is the Solitaire Knight Game. These games are easy to play, fun, and travel well.

These games can be found on Amazon.


What FoxMind has to say about their product

FoxMind's Go Bong! and Last Mouse Lost are Easy, Affordable, Addictive Fun
Jump start your neurons by playing FoxMind's new self-contained new games, Last Mouse Lost and Go Bong!
In Go Bong!™, play several solitaire games or challenge an opponent in other games.
Both, Go Bong and Last Mouse Lost are "smart" game  choices as stocking stuffers, executive desk gifts, waiting room games, and coffee table conversation pieces.

Go Bong (MSRP $8.99) is a self-contained one or two-player game that is perfect for passing the time while traveling or used simply for stress relief because it is quite relaxing to squish the game board bumps.. The square rubberized board has rows of puffed up bubble-like mounds. Players try to use different logic patterns to press down the bumps in strategy and deductive reasoning style games.
AND... as soon as the game is over, just flip it over and it's ready to go again.

Last Mouse Lost (MSRP $7.99) is also a self-contained game.  It's a simple strategy game for two players to compete in a battle of quick math and chance. The objective of the game is make your opponent press down the last mouse and not get caught with the last mouse standing. Players take turns pressing down any number of mice they wish in a single row. The player who presses down the last mouse loses the round.
AND... as soon as the game is over, just flip it over and it's ready to go again. Whoever wins three of five rounds wins the game!

Both Last Mouse Lost and Go Bong are dishwasher safe to clean too!

Kitty Fun




We have three kitties and they love to play around. Most of the time it is in the wee hours of the morning when we hear them running back and forth across the floor, knocking things down, but we do see them during the day as well cleaning each other, cuddling, and forever crawling on my chest or lap to sleep.

This tunnel is something we can set up and they will come back again and again to play with. They have a great time popping in and out of the holes and trying to catch each other.

Awesome fun for your active kitties. Easy to set up and folds flat for storage in between uses.



This cat tunnel can be found on Amazon.


3 way Cat Tunnel that keeps cats and kittens entertained, encouraging exercise, stalking and play.  It helps stop meowing and scratching but folds down to be easily stored away or transported.

Gummy Bear Silicone Candy Mold




This tiny little mold makes delicious gummy bears, or even little tiny chocolate bears. Super yummy and easier to make than you would think.

You can search online and find a recipe that fits with your family for gummy bears we found a few that were easy enough for our children to make as well.

I personally think this takes a bit of time I am not always patient with but my girls loved the results so it is a keeper.

Plus with making our own gummy bears we know what they are made of. If you want sour gummies just add citric acid to your mix and your sugar for dipping and you are off to sour mouth time.

This Gummy mold can be found in two colors on Amazon.



What Status Kitchen has to say about their product.

This tray makes 50 small gummies the same small bite size as Haribo bears, but now you can make your own quick and easy at home. The tray comes with an easy fill dropper to help fill the cavities and also a useful PDF recipe guide to help you along.
