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. 

What Quick Find Books has to say about Bullying Prevention.

Written by three top experts in the field, this research-based book provides parents with key information about the causes of bullying and how to prevent it, at all age and grade levels. This book, while written for parents,  has also been used by many teachers and school administrators to better understand and  deal with  bullying, including cyber-bullying. 
Topics covered include: Bullying: Myths, Facts and Solutions; Bullying in Preschool; Bullying in Elementary School; Adolescents and Bullying; Electronic or Cyber-bullying; Children Who Bully -- What to do at home; What Parents Can Do to Help a child Who Is Victimized; How Parents Can Work with the School; Bullying Prevention Through the Golden  Rule; and Resources for Parents.

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.


You can find this BYB flashlight 4 pack on Amazon.

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.



What GreenWe has to say about their product.

  Kit includes:
1 Metal Stand – 32x15 inches
1 American Flag – 12x18 inches
1 Rubber Stopper
1 Anti-Wind Clip
  • 1 Instructions

    COMPLETE SET - Get a beautiful American flag and a 32-inch tall, sturdy wrought iron garden stake.
    CLASSIC DESIGN - With the iconic flag removable, the stand has an "h" bracket spike for strength.
    SPECIAL FEATURES - Rubber stopper & anti-wind clip keep flags steady on the stand even when windy.
    HIGH-QUALITY MATERIAL - Unfadeable polyester flag & 8mm black wrought iron with a coated finish.
    3 YEAR WARRANTY - If not completely satisfied, please contact us to rectify the issue immediately.

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.


What Carry Well has to say about their product.

INCREDIBLE VALUE AND DURABILITY. Customers have reported other bags they've tried have broken, ripped or leaked, but our bags are built to last and provide superior quality and durability. Read through our 5-star reviews and see for yourself! You'll receive 10 sturdy shopping bags in this money-saving set. Completing the collection is the carrier bag that converts into a 6 bottle wine tote.
Purchased separately these are priced at:
6 Grocery Bags: $18
2 Produce Bags: $5
Freezer bag: $12
Wine carrier: $15
Total Value = $49

ELIMINATE CLUTTER AND GET ORGANIZED. Toss out ugly, mismatched or wrinkled bags scattered around
your car and home, and get organized with the neat and tidy CarryWell set. CarryWell provides a compact all-in-one shopping organizer.   

EASY TO CLEAN. CarryWell bags are made of durable non woven polypropylene that’s eco-friendly and ultra strong. A matte laminate coating makes it easy to wipe the bags down to keep them looking great between uses.

STYLISH DESIGN GETS YOU NOTICED. The bold, bright colors are striking and festive, and this eye-catching bag will turn heads as you carry it into the store. Choose from an array of styles with different patterns and colors to suit your tastes.

LARGE BAGS, COMPACT ORGANIZER. Customers are pleasantly surprised at the capacity of CarryWell reusable bags, given the compact size of the organizer.
Perhaps this attention to detail is what separates us from all the other competitors. And of course, you'll receive the highest level of customer service when you place your order today.
