Purex and Make-A-Wish giveaway (Now Over)




I am very lucky to have been picked to be a part of the Purex and Make-A-Wish giveaway. I have seen some of my own family members use the services this organization provides for children who are sick. It can make memories to last a lifetime.

How can you help?

Join with me in making a pledge to purchase Purex detergent during the month of February or donating to Make-A-Wish in some other way. 

Make-A-Wish grants the wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions to enrich the human experience with hope, strength and joy. Kids say wishes give them renewed strength to fight their illnesses, and their parents say these experiences help strengthen the entire family.
Purex will pay a minimum guarantee of $250,000 to Make-A-Wish, but you can help make a difference and get the payment up to $400,000 by purchasing Purex liquid detergent or liquid fabric softener between February 1st 2014 and February 28th 2014. *
Be sure to stock up on Purex during the month of February as every bottle helps in our effort to support this great cause. Learn more about Make-A-Wishbelow and show your support by spreading the word – share this page with friends and together let’s make wishes come true!


More than 14,000 wishes were granted in 2013 alone. To learn more about Purex and Make-A-Wish, please visit www.purex.com/make-a-wish, or one of the links towards the bottom of this post.

Now for a chance to win a free coupon for bottle of Purex Mountain Breeze detergent value ($6.00). There will be two winners. MarksvilleandMe wishes everyone who enters Good Luck!

20 Mule Team® Borax isn't just for cleaning, there are many uses for it including uses in crafts. 

Making Homemade Candles:
3 tablespoons of 20 Mule Team® Borax
1 tablespoon of salt
1 cup of warm water
This treatment is for your wicks. Put it in the solution for 24 hours. When it dries, it's ready to be used in your homemade candle. This will get rid of the smoke and reduce the ash.
Preserve Flowers: 
1 part 20 Mule Team® Borax
2 parts cornmeal
1 airtight canister
Pour about one inch of  mixture in bottom of canister.  Put flowers on this layer and cover with the rest of the mixture. For flowers with lots of petals, like roses you should pour the mixture directly
onto them before you put it in the container. This should eliminate all the moisture in the petals so they dry out, instead of wilting.

My personal favorites are

The world lied to me, I thought

The world lied to me, I thought that it was much more trust worthy then it is. I have learned to just let people talk and if they follow up on what they say then they do, if they don't then oh well, live and learn. I try to keep my word as best I can but life doesn't always go the way we would like and you just can not always do what you say.

There is a big difference in saying something and not being able to do something then saying something and just not doing it because you never really meant what you said in the first place. One is unplanned while the other is meant to do harm or damage.

At first when these things happened it hurt a lot but after a while you start to just shrug is all off, except that is when it comes from someone very close to your heart then all bets are off and there is no telling what might happen.

Some people say things that are untrue to try and hurt your reputation just because they are missing something in their own lives. They haven't learned compassion. Others say things in a fit of anger and then don't know how to make things better.

These are things that tear friends, family, towns, and even countries apart. I pray every day for the world and the people in it, that they will all come together to do good things for everyone not just the few. Humans are selfish and have fallen far away from loving their neighbor. May God have mercy on us all.

There was a tremendous amount of stress

There was a tremendous amount of stress while we were homeless, and even into when we first were getting settled in the new house. We were only supposed to be homeless a few days but it turned into weeks, and months before we could move into the house we wanted to rent.

When we took our things out of storage, we found that many of the things were moldy and had to be burned like our brand new couch. We had brought out stove but there was no gas hook up so we ended up getting rid of it and using the stove our land lord had here, until we could buy one of our own.

At first all we had were beds, and hard chairs to sit on. it was stressful to say the least. It was August and time to begin thinking about school supplies for the kids. Of course while we were homeless we burned through all of our savings eating out everyday, and keeping the kids busy when they were out of school. All of their toys were in storage.

Shopping for school only happened because I called the one Credit card company we had and asked for a raise in the amount we could spend. I then took our empty Credit card and did all of the kids school shopping with it, maxing it out, and even though we did have to close that account because a snow ball effect took place after we were homeless I can now say that Credit card has been paid off in full and we are again in good standing even though we told them we do not want another card at this time.

Being pregnant while working and being far away from my children while working didn't make things any better. We trusted a lot in our older children to hold the fort down. We couldn't afford a child care worker, that is what I did before working outside of the home, we really didn't know anyone in the area so we did the best we could with what we had until I had Dorothy and then I became a Stay at Home Mom again as per my Dr.'s instructions and years later here I am Blogging and loving it.

I could go on and on about the stress but just know there was a tremendous amount of stress for both us as adults and for our children during this time of transition.
