January #BrickSwag Unboxing

Looking for a gift that gives all year round? Have a Lego Lover? Then you might want to check out Brick Swag the monthly Subscription Box revolved around Legos. I have myself played with legos from about the age of 7 that I can remember and they have been apart of all 6 of my children's lives and now even my 2 grand daughters lives.                                                                                                                                       It is one toy while I ran my child care that the kids didn't fight over. There are few toys out there that can accomplish this, but Lego is one of them. It brings children together to compromise, and most of the time build something together. Even if you have a lone Lego Lover this subscription is great I look forward to seeing what each month has in store for our family. Join me in the coming months in unboxing Brick Swag over on my Youtube site :MarksvilleandMe, and then a review of each box here. 

I have had the pleasure of reviewing two boxes so far the first one was my favorite so far and the second one I loved just not the brick plans that came with it. Awesome club for those who love legos and a great gift that keeps giving all year long. Check out my videos below, more to come in the months ahead.

AleHorn Tankard as seen on Game Of Thrones

Our family is new to watching Game Of Thrones but we are not new to finding neat and unique items to add to our home. We all tend to have the same things but acquiring unique items that not everyone can have exactly the same is a nice addition around our home. 

These Ale Horn Tankards are made from ethically sourced Cow Horn, which means cows are not slaughtered just to get the horn. This is an all natural item and can be used for cold drinks. Since all Cow Horns grow differently with different waves of color and texture it would be almost impossible to have two of the same cups so this is a really nice item to have if you are a collector of Ale Tankards, or even if you want to have one of your very own to enjoy your cold drinks out while watching the latest episode of Game Of Thrones. Sure to be a talk piece when you have friends over.

You can find Ale Horn Tankards like this on AleHorn.

These drinking horns are perfect for enjoying your favorite ale or other beverage.  Each horn tankard is hand made from 100% ethically sourced cow horn.  As unique as the horn itself, there will be no other drinking horn in the world like yours.

• approx 5″ tall and holds 12+ oz.
  Made from 100% natural horn
  Formed horn handle
  Sealed and suitable for cool liquids
  Actual horn pattern may vary from the unit pictured
  Please rinse your horn before use. Avoid the dishwasher, extreme temperatures and hot liquids.

Never to old to color

I have done quite a few reviews for both Tali Carmi and for other Adult coloring books. I love to read Tali Carmi's books to my smaller children and grandchildren while my older children and myself can enjoy Tali Carmi's talent in a new way. Through Adult Coloring Books which are growing in  popularity. Matter of fact while shopping I noticed that a popular store has a whole section dedicated to Adult coloring books.

Coloring is something that can be done at pretty much any age, but us adults sometimes want something a little more intricate. This is where Adult Coloring books come in. I love that this one had different breeds of dogs inside. I called the page with the Saint Bernard while my daughters and husband picked other pages for themselves. What I love is that these are one sided and if more then one person would like to do the same page you can copy them either on your copy machine, or scanner then print.

Now back to some time with my girls, coloring life away for a little while.

You can find this Adult Coloring book on Amazon.


Let your imagination soar and color this Amazing Dog Coloring pages with the colors of your choice.
This adult coloring book has Over 30 Different & Creative Dogs designs, originally designed by our Favorite Artist to give you the best coloring experience. Dog fanciers and coloring enthusiasts would definitely love this one. >Pages are SINGLE SIDED. 
Breeds include: Bulldog, Chihuahua, Doberman, Rottweiler, Boxer, Great Danish, Bloodhound dog, Collie, Bull Terrier, Dalmatian Dog, Shih Tzu, San Bernard, Basset Hound, Shar Pei, King Charles, German Shepherd, Poodle, Pomeranian, Pekingese, Husky, American Staffordshire Terrier (Amstaff), Labrador Retriever, Greyhound, Yorkshire Terrier, Chinese Crested Dog, Chow Chow, Cocker Spaniel, Schnauzer, Pug, Herding dog, Old English Sheepdog, Red Chinese Tibetan Mastiff.

About the Author Tali Carmi

Classic Nursing Cover

Being a mother who breastfed all of her biological children, although they preferred to be uncovered there were times when I felt it was better to be covered so having a good nursing cover is nice to have. Sadly all I had was a blanket and it always fell off or the children pulled it off and threw it.

This cover has a nice neck strap which holds it in place while nursing. It is huge so it even covers us bigger people out there. It has a little pocket to store things in and the corners have a little bit of soft material on the inside for spit up, so it is a wonderful cover.

One of my favorite things about this cover is that it has a nice opening so you can check on the baby or switch sides when you need to. When you are all done you just put it back into the bag and slip it in your bag, purse, or tote bag and you are on your way.

You can find this Nursing Cover on Amazon.


What White Sateen has to say about their product.

1. Super comfortable neck straps: Our signature neck straps are a delicate 100% cotton sateen, and they are softer and smoother for your extra comfort. With sturdy D-rings for easy adjustment, White Sateen neck straps are designed to: look good, feel good, and last.

2. Flexible neckline, flexible mother: White Sateen nursing covers have an adjustable boned neckline, which gives your infant airflow and space to breathe while they feed. And let’s you keep an eye on your baby so you can give them exactly what they need

3. Larger coverage with contoured sides: With a curved contoured design, our White Sateen nursing covers are larger than your average breastfeeding cover. With a soft drape that flatters your body, you’ll feel confident, covered, and cute.

4. Burp cloth for those cute little accidents: Each nursing cover has a soft, smooth burp cloth attached so when your baby needs your gentle hand to wipe their mouth, you always have something quickly on hand.

5. Keep everything handy: Your hands are full enough with your baby, that’s why White Sateen nursing covers have handy built-in pockets so you can keep your wipes, nursing pads and toys within arms reach.

6. Classic, stylish, subtle: White Sateen only design elegant and timeless prints that compliment your outfit and allow you to blend in easily. Now you can nurse your little one privately – even when you’re out in public.

7. Stay organised and save time: White Sateen nursing covers come with a handy carry pouch so you can quickly store your nursing cover, or just throw in diapers and wipes when it’s time to go exploring with your baby.

Great Teacher Gift

A new favorite in our home and many schools are the liquid chalk markers which work really well and of course wipe off easily.

Another great place to use these are on mirrors to leave messages to other family members and they can wipe it off when they get it.

The colors are bright, write smoothly, and are easy to get started.

Magazines for Kids

My eight year old daughter has been asking for me to order her a magazine of her very own. She sees her father, older sisters, and even myself getting magazines and kind of feels left out. With Redan Publishing I can feel good about the magazine she is going to be getting because it is generated towards children, not teens, not parents, just right for her age. 

I think I am going to have one happy little girl when she starts seeing some magazines coming that are just for her. 

Right now Redan Publishing is offering my readers a special discounted offer of over 50% off plus a FREE bonus issue for ordering.  Go to go http://www.redan.com/USFamilyGuide.htm and click on the magazine cover with your child's favorite character to order.

Great Interactive Children's Magazines Each issue contains stories, a craft project, a collectible poster and a workbook full of fun educational activities that are designed to give your child a head start in developing their early learning skills with the help of their favorite characters.

Let the Nail Art Begin

Having 4 girls of our own as well as hosting many overnights with their friends over the years we have done lots, OK Tons of nail makeovers.

My girls love to do their nails and experiment with colors, techniques and designs when they have extra time.

My older daughter loves to do her nails and is probably the one who uses the most nail polish in our family.

I am more of a sparkly nail polish wearer but I do let the girls experiment with my nails from time to time.

I have always enjoyed doing designs on their nails and with this nail art brush it is so easy. Just make sure to use non acetone nail polish to clean your brushes with. Of course we have more then then this set for doing our nails but this is our newest and will be used the most until we perfect our technique before moving onto something new, and using these less often. My favorite piece would be the tiny dotter great for making snow fall nails.

You can find these nail art brushes on Amazon.


High quality, professional set
Ideal for the professional nail artist and the beginner expecting real results
The Nail Art brush set is easy to carry and use
With superior-quality
Easy to handle, perfect for professional and home use
8 Pcs a set

Touch & Learn Alphabet Fish

My youngest grand daughter even though not yet 2 yet is singing like crazy so I think it is time to introduce letters to her in a fun way. This Touch & Learn Alphabet Fish from The Learning Journey International looks to be the perfect way to do it. She will of course be getting some more kids music to learn as well. 

I can't wait to see her play with this. My youngest daughters gave it a run to see how it works and they thought she would love it and even my oldest granddaughter can use it to learn some of the letters she doesn't know yet, as she will be starting Kindergarten next year.

You can purchase the Touch & Learn Alphabet Fish here or on Amazon.

Your child will have a great time learning and exploring the alphabet! Alphabet Fish is cute, colorful and as much fun as it looks! Our ocean friend features two play modes-Discovery mode and Game mode. In the discovery mode, children can learn their alphabet, first words and fun sounds by pressing one of the 26 letter image buttons. In the game mode, children can play Find It!, What Comes Before and What Comes Next. With fun sounds effects, hidden surprises and positive phrases, Alphabet Fish will quickly become a favorite! Ages 2+ years.
