Raymond's Uncut Diamond: Review + Giveaway




Product Description

Developing your child's self-esteem and confidence
Dr. Sears reports that self-esteem is your child’s passport to a lifetime of mental health and social happiness. A children's story that explores the meaning of true value and potential is a very powerful tool for the development of any child. When you share this story, your child will be inspired to think of his or her own potential and self-worth, just like the main character.
Raymond's Uncut Diamond takes your child on a journey with a young boy named Raymond, who is given a stone by his Grandpa and sent to the market. While trying to find the right price for his Grandpa's stone, Raymond learns of its true value, as well as his own.
  • Will Raymond succeed in selling his Grandpa's shiny stone?
    Will Raymond get the advice he wants from his Grandpa?
    What will he learn about true value in his own life?
The lesson of the book is best expressed in this inspirational quote by Joyce Meyer: “Potential is a priceless treasure, like gold. All of us have gold hidden within, but we have to dig to get it out.”
Raymond's Uncut Diamond is a well-written, inspiring story that will help you to teach your child the meaning of the true value within. This book was created to help with your child's:
Self-esteem: Positive self-esteem helps children in their interactions with others and their ability to face life's many challenges. It reminds them that they are worthy of love and accomplishment, and this will stay with them into adulthood. As most children learn their self-worth from their parents, it is very important that parents share stories like Raymond's in order to promote positive self-esteem from a young age.
“Can-do attitude”: Children who repeat “I can't” often seek attention and acceptance through harmful behaviors. However, this book encourages your child to put in effort to become better in everything he or she does. The book reinforces the view that not being good at something is a temporary state and encourages children to accept the responsibility to strive and work to become better.
Raymond's Uncut Diamond is an entertaining read before bedtime, with the whole family, or as self-reading for older children. Additionally, it is a great resource for teachers and counselors to share with individual students or in a class.
With vibrant, delightful illustrations and easy-to-digest lessons, children will become sharp and shining like their true value!!!

MarksvilleandMe Reviews Raymond's Uncut Diamond

written by Assaf Marcus

"Raymond's Uncut Diamond" written by Assof Marcus was a really good book to read to children of all ages. It teaches that just because others can't see the wonderful things you can do, doesn't mean they aren't there. 

Too often we see adults and children belittling each other, telling others they aren't good at anything, or they are useless, but this book does a really  good job at explaining how we all start off as uncut diamonds and over time turn to the brilliant eye catching diamond that everyone will eventually see. 

From the wording to the beautiful illustrations you and your child are sure to enjoy this book. This book helps with self-esteem, as well as instilling a can-do-attitude. One of my readers will win a copy of 'Raymond's Uncut Diamond' in Ebook form below. MarksvilleandMe wishes everyone who enters Good Luck!


If you can't wait to see if you have won you can purchase Raymond's Uncut Diamond on Amazon.

MarksvilleandMe Reviews Vegetarian Weight Loss

written by Jonathan Vine

"Vegetarian Weight Loss" written by Jonathan Vine is a great resource for those thinking about becoming Vegetarian or for those who don't want to become full vegetarian but want to take part in some of aspects of being a a Vegetarian or even those who have company or family that they like to make comfortable in their homes by preparing Vegetarian dishes for them.

My favorite recipes were the Breakfast Granola although I left out the pumpkin seeds and chia seeds because we did not have those on hand. The Egg in Avocado, and Cheese stuffed Portabellos were also great. 

Some of the ingredients are new to me with a few being ones I won't eat, because I do not like the taste so I have to experiment on what to substitute in their places. I grew up on a farm where we raised both our own meat and vegetables so giving up meat totally will never be in my diet plans but it never hurts to learn new recipes to liven up the palettes of my family. 

This book takes you from what to eat to stay healthy, what to avoid, and of course how to combine a Vegetarian life style together with exercise to lose weight. I really enjoyed this book and in a short while I will also be reviewing Jonathan Vine's "Under 15 minutes Vegetarian Quick and Easy Recipes" so that should give us Mom's a great way to get more Vegetables into our family's in under 15 minutes. 

You can purchase Vegetarian Weight loss on Amazon

Jonathan Vine also has three other books out

MarksvilleandMe Reviews Pure Garcinia Cambogia Extract- 

85 % HCA | Natural Water Extracted

I have used other Garcinia Cambogia before and the main difference I see with this pill is that it is a smaller capsule, much easier to swallow and they weigh a whole lot less then the other pills I took. This one also boasts Calcium rather then Potassium, not sure why but will ask my pharmacist. 
As for taking them you take one twice a day 30 minutes before a meal with water while others have you taking two twice a day, but doesn't say when to take them. I felt I had more information with this Garcinia Cambogia then others in the past, but then again maybe I have just learned more about the product from reading the information on them. 

Other then the above differences I see no difference in how they work. Remember Garcinia Cambogia works with your diet and exercise plan. Also always talk to a Dr. before taking any new medications.

MarksvilleandMe Reviews BakeitFun Baking Mat

I was impressed as soon as I took my BakeitFun mat out of the box. It has lots of extras such as a built in ruler, spot markers for getting your cookies or other treats spaced properly for best results, and let's not forget the not stick performance that is the big seller on this item. 

I have an two old silicone mats that work but not as well as it they used to, and this BakeitFun Baking Mat is a total upgrade, not even being able to be compared really other then they are both baking mats. 



My 11 year old daughter loved that it had the spot markers for cookies so that she could do them all on her own. My children learn to bake and cook at an early age, which is the reason our family is full of great cooks, and bakers. 


We all love how evenly everything looks and the results are even better. 


My daughter had made cotton candy cookies and the girls and their friends gobbled them right up. I only got one, but that is OK we can make more. 


The BakeitFun mat can be used for many things such as Pizza. I am going to try it when I do my can treats with melted chocolate and caramel. Chocolate covered strawberries, peanut butter filled saltines dipped in chocolate, chocolate covered peanuts, pineapples, you name it we will be mixing and baking up a storm.

It does say to wash, dry, and then before first use to spray with cooking spray for best results. After that you don't need to spray it ever again. So far the BakeitFun Baking Mat is working out great and no one grabs for the old Silcone ones from years past anymore. I guess the upgrade is here to stay. 

You can purchase this same baking mat on Amazon.
