Father's Day Giveaway


Hosted by
MarksvilleandMe
Sponsored by
King Innovation

My husband was really excited when he opened this up a bit early so I could get the giveaway started for father's day. I also bought him a roll bag for his tools as well as a bucket boss organizer from another company for father's day. He is in tool heaven.

Being disabled makes it a bit harder for him to lug everything everywhere so I thought if he had one of these he would be able to just ask me or one of the children to bring his bucket and he would most likely have everything he needed to do a job around the house, without endangering himself to try and go down the stairs to get the right products and then work his way upstairs to do the job.

You can see video review below.


Now for the Giveaway!

Winner will win 1 King Innovation Storage Bucket worth 34.71. MarksvilleandMe is not responsible for prize distribution that will come from King Innovation. Open to residents of the USA from 6/1-6/18/2015  12:00 AM EST. Winner will have 24 hours to respond or another winner be chosen. MarksvilleandMe would like to wish everyone who enters Good Luck!

Family is what you make it


Although I like the thought of the Cleavers and the white picket fence, life has taken our family far from that. From grandparents who left this world long before all of my children could meet them to the other set that lives close by but chooses not to be apart of their lives on a regular basis, to families having squabbles and deciding they no longer want their family as their family. Kind of like a buffet. Luckily for my husband and myself we will be married for 25 years this coming October, have had 5 biological children while raising my biological nephew as one of our own from the age of 18 months, as well as including all of the childcare children we have watched as well as our children's friends over the years as part of our family. We always say once you visit Marksville you are family for life.

As my husband and I age we have made it even more important to take time out for family. Of course not we have to juggle our younger children with our older children's schedules as well as making time to spend time with our two grand daughters. On top of that we have a Saint Bernard, Mama cat and a mix of 4 of her kittens from her two litters, as well as my daughters beta fish. 

In a few weeks our third child will be graduating and moving on with life, joining her older siblings in the world on her own, but knowing if she ever needs support we will be here for her. Another step toward parenting and being a family, learning to let go.

What MarksvilleandMe has been watching lately.

We have been super busy so we didn't really get to watch many of our shows this month but we do have them in our Que to watch on a rainy or less busy day.

We have been watching Z Nation, Between, Residue, Bates Motel, Hart of Dixie, God's Not Dead, Box Trolls, Super Natural, while waiting for new episodes of Bitten, The 100, Hemlock Grove and many others. I add more shows to my play list then I can go through in a given month but give me a few days of being ill and I will plow right through a bunch.

Some movies and shows we would like to watch soon are Grace and Frankie, Wizard Paws,When Calls the Heart. I would also like to see NetFlix get other movies and shows they don't already have for instance they have Joy Ride 3 but not 2 or the first one, as well as Grimm, and Big Bang Theory.

#StreamTeam
