Gift for Dad, Grads, or Groomsmen

Tie Clips have a big place in my heart. I remember my father getting ready for important events by getting all dressed up, putting on his cuff links and then finishing with his Tie Clip. In the 80's it was fashionable for girls to wear ties so my dad gave me one of his tie clips which I believe it still up in my jewelry box to this day along with the set I was given when he died which was a set with his initials that have a matching set of cuff links. The Initial set will go to my daughter who bares his name as her middle name in honor of him.

For the Grads this will certainly bring their outfits together for interviews giving them a little bling that says they took the extra time to look nice for their interview. For your dad, husband, or son this makes the perfect gift anytime of the year. Also a great gift to give to each of your groomsmen.

I know that if my dad were here he would really appreciate a set like this.

Precision Elite Food Thermometer

Grilling season is upon us so that means lots of BBQ's and that ups the chances of getting sick from under cooked meat. I am not really talking too much about beef but more along the chicken and pork products that are out there.

A meat thermometer could save you from being sick, and can be used when ever you are cooking meat or anything really that you would need to monitor during cooking, baking, or grilling.

Years ago one of the places we rented had a oven problem and even though we kept out pork chops in way longer then they needed to be, I still came down with Toxoplasmosis, with my already low immune system I got really sick and a few months later when they found out why I was sick I was also pregnant which is a big concern.

They did some tests and it came back that I had it long before I got pregnant so the baby would be safe, but for me I would have a long road of recovery.  We traced it back to the night of never getting done pork. Every since we have been really big about out pork being cooked well, as well as many of the other meat products we eat, except for beef which I eat medium.

OK so if you are going to grill a good thermometer is what you need. The Precision Elite food thermometer is one of those choices. Easy to use and can be used for many items. I love that it comes with a case, something I haven't seen with other digital thermometers yet. Happy Grilling and keep it safe.

You can purchase the Precision Elite Food Thermometer on Amazon.

Protect your delicates

Being a women I have lots of delicates that need to be washed with loving care. Luckily I have a hand wash cycle on my washer but I also use Laundry bags to keep my delicates looking their best. When I received the WashGuard - Lingerie Bags for Laundry my daughter grabbed it for her because it has a pink zipper. 

Yes being a mom of 4 girls really stacks up the dedicates and we do a washer full of delicates once or twice a week. Everything is sorted into their bags and put in the wash on the Hand Wash cycle. having these bags is a Godsend. 

Not all Laundry bags are created equal. Some of have bigger hole that bra clips can get stuck on which cause a big mess in the washer. With the WashGuard - Lingerie Bags for Laundry it is a fine mesh that you won't have to worry about little things popping through and causing havoc in the washer. 

Great for bras, underwear, silk, pantyhose, stockings, pajamas, and anything else that needs to be hand washed or delicately washed. 

You can purchase the Wash Guard Lingerie Bag on Amazon.

What IX Better Home has to say about their product.

1) Save Money!
Zippers, buckles and snaps on other clothes spell disaster for your satins and silk. Rough fabrics such as denim or fabrics that produce lint will also ruin your delicates or other specialty clothes (like moisture wicking sports material) forcing you to buy them again and again.
This bag will solve all those problems.
2) Large Size!
This extra large lingerie wash bag measures 16 x 20 inches. Great for 4-5 camisoles, blouses, skirts or dresses, multiple scarves or leggings, many pairs of socks or 7-10 pairs of underwear.
Ideally suited for larger items such as sweaters, small throws, fine bedding (pillow cases, shams, dust ruffles or sheets), baby blankets and more...
3) Highest Quality Bag on the Market!
We just bought 5 brand new 2015 industrial sewing machines to ensure that our carefully constructed lingerie wash bags are made with precision. We also use the highest quality polyester mesh blend that will protect your fabrics inside from everything outside in the washer and causes no abrasion from the bag itself.
This premium extra large laundry bag is safe to use in ALL wash cycles and with ALL detergents.
> Spare yourself the frustration caused by lost socks, knotted hosiery or stretched out sweaters and leggings.
> No more replacing your garments because of damage or excessive wear due to washing (even on the delicate cycle) and NEVER deal with knotted hosiery again.

You can never have enough books readily available to your children. They are valuable to their learning as well as their skills in so many things as they grow. They need to learn how to find information they need, and it all starts with the Alphabet. 

There are many books about the Alphabet this is not the first nor will it be the last but it is another book to build your children's learning level from the alphabet, numbers, and animals. This book engages your child to have fun while they are learning. 

Awesome book and one my grand daughter loves for me to read over and over again. She can even recite some of the words from the pages from memory.

Incredible Dorka

MarksvilleandMe reviews 

Incredible Dorka

written by 

Zsofi Zara

Incredible Dorka is originally written in Hungarian. This book is about a little girl whose father thinks she should start keeping a diary. She tries really hard to do things right but things just don't work out the way she would like, which lands her in trouble over and over again.

This book is very easy to relate to for all walks of life and one that fits my 12 year old to a tee. Reading time is always a fun time with my children and grand children. This is a book you can read and laugh along to right with the younger generation bridging the age gap.

You can purchase Incredible Dorka on Amazon.


What Hocmaa has to say about Incredible Dorka.
"Dad reckons I should write a diary, because so much happens to me. He says every day is full of surprises for me." 
Well, Dorka is really creative and unique girl, and had to admit she had a talent for trouble. Her story could make anyone laugh. 

A funny, charming and adorable story about a talented, kind and curious girl. The book is well suited to reading alone or reading aloud to children.
