Bullying Prevention


MarksvilleandMe reviews
Bullying Prevention
written by 
Dr. Wendy Craig, Dr. Debra Pepler, and Dr. Joanne Cummings


Bullying Prevention is a great resource for both younger and older parents of either the bully or those being bullied. I think this is a great book to get when your child is born so you can begin to ready them  and yourselves for what may lay ahead, or even stop them from becoming THE BULLY themselves. 

Lots of ideas, thoughts, and scenarios that show what you could deal with and how to get around the system to get your child help. Personally I think kids have just gotten out of hand, but with how fast things change it is hard for everyone to keep up with the changes we are all faced with. 

I find this a great resource that every library and school office should have available for parents.

Bullying Prevention can be found here. I also like that they have a fundraising option for schools or organizations that could benefit from this.

Light up the dark





We really like this set of flashlights from BYB matter of fact we have liked all of their products so far. This is a nice set of 4 flashlights that each take 3 AAA batteries which are not included.

We love that the light adjusts and has 3 settings. It has some weight to is even before the batteries are added so you will know if it is in your pocket or not, each one also has a  wrist strap which is nice when you are in the dark.

Great for camping. hiking, scouts, power outages, or even emergencies. These flashlights have become a favorite in our home. We keep a few in our bedroom and the kids have our older flashlights for their rooms. Works great for late night walks with your dog.

Flags are Flying




One thing we have never had before besides the tiny ones you wave at a parade is an American Flag, with Memorial Day, 4th of July, and Labor day coming I thought that this was the perfect time to do this review and add a little American Pride to our yard.

This was easy to set up, the flag can be washed and taken in when needed. This stakes into the ground easily, but since it was rainy outside today we took the picture inside so you can see it. As soon as the landlord's men move the mess out of yard from building a porch we can get our garden planted and set this up in a spot where it can be seen.

This Flag and pole can be found on Amazon.

Carry Well




Love this Carry Well Shopping Bag system. Everything fits inside one of the other bags, and give you pretty much everything you need for a day at the market. You get 6 shopping bags, 2 produce bags, one insulated bag, and a bag which can carry up to 6 bottles of wine, liters, or sparkling cider.

Pretty colors are available just choose the one you like best. I picked orange because it stands out so I can remember it as well as reminding me about my daughter who loves orange. My husband even liked this set over others we have had in the past just because everything does fit together well.

The Carry Well shopping system can be found on Amazon.

Feel Good Gut Feeling


Until recently I didn't really see a use for taking a probiotic but when my daughter just deal with bowel movement problems they wanted us to start using probiotics after her medication was done. Since she was taking it I thought I should take the adult version so that I would know what her body might be going through.

I haven't seen any adverse effects but I haven't really felt any differently either but of course if it is keeping my gut healthy I guess I wouldn't feel anything. I really like that you only take this once a day and that is easy to swallow.

As for my daughter and her child probiotic well she is still going to the bathroom fine so I guess all had worked out well. Finally I understand what probiotics do.

Life & Food Probiotic can be found on Amazon.
