Gatekeepers Trilogy


MarksvilleandMe reviews
The Gatekeepers Trilogy
written by
Eva Pohler

The Gatekeepers Trilogy is a story about modern day mythology, with some romance and magic thrown in. These books were easy to read while being hard to put down because they kept your attention. I really love books that pull  you in and paint a world that you are part of. 

Greek Mythology is one of my favorite subjects and this series really did a good job of combining the Greek gods we have learned about with modern day society. Every Time a new mythology creature was introduced I was excited to read how they were included in the story.

When you are done with the Trilogy you can set your eyes on part 4, 5, and 6, which I have yet to read but hope to in the near future.

You can purchase the Gatekeepers Trilogy on Amazon.

Running Belt


Personally I am not a runner, never have been, never will be. It is just one sport I am not to take part in due to my kidney problems. My children however do not have kidney problems so I have always encouraged them to do the one thing I can not do and that is to run.

So far all of my children have been in youth and school sports, as well as staying active outside of school. I don't think they understand how proud I am of their accomplishments. With my children being active I try to make sure they have the right equipment for their different sport endeavors.

The DAODAO running belt is a nice accessory to have to hold your music player/ phone, as well as money or any other small items you might need for your run, like bandaids. I really like that this was adjustable for my growing 12 year old. She will be able to use this for years to come and it will adjust to her size.

This belt also is reflective to help with motorists being able to see her if she runs at night. This isn't something she does yet but her older sister who is 21 does run at night and this would also be a great item for her.

Even if you do not run this is a great belt for walking around a theme park, county fair, garage sales, etc.


You can purchase this running belt on Amazon.

Packing and Shipping




Some of you might know my husband runs our Ebay and with Ebay comes the use of lots of boxes, envelopes, tape, and bubble wrap. You win some you lose some but Ebay happens to be my husband's favorite way to shop with mine being Amazon. I know the big competitors. Did I tell you my husband and I are only one day different in age and we happen to both be Taurus so you can only imagine how life might be in our home.

This tape really holds up to all of the use we put it through and my husband plans to buy unit of the tape to have on hand instead of running out, having to run out to get more so that your order can go out on time.

This tape is great for packing and shipping, My husband likes that it is thin, easy to use, and does the job well.

You can purchase this Tape on Amazon.

AZSPORT Kinesiology Tape






This is an item that would be nice to have in your first aid or sporting bag to keep yourself in the game. I am a mother of children who have pushed themselves in sports so much that sometimes they are in pain after. As a mother I don't condone this but when they really love the game, you want them to be happy and sometimes that means letting them back out on the court or field even against your better judgement.

Here is were products like Kinesiology Tape come into play. These products are awesome and really work. Now when my daughter wants to go back out into the game I know she will be protected more then if she didn't have anything on and this will also help her heal faster from muscle strain.


You can purchase Azsport Kinesiology Tape on Amazon.

Floral Picks



Until recently when I did a flower arrangement, wreath, or any other project with fresh, dried, or silk flowers I kind of just did it by eye, no measuring. Sure they came out ok but now that I know how to use floral picks I can really make a better arrangement or project. Floral picks come in kinds of sizes but I find that the 4 inch work best for the projects I do. 

It really is just amazing how the use of an item like floral picks can make a project go from that looks good to where did you get that from, you can proudly just say I did it myself. Floral picks are great for do it yourselfers to professionals. 

You can purchase Royal Imports Floral Picks on Amazon.
