Answers to FAQS
To access headphones and controls you must insert your device right side up screen facing out wards. Some have actually installed screen facing in - which of course will not align the access points.
The armband is designed to support a thin snug fitting profile therefore thick cases are not supported.

MarksvilleandMe takes a look at i2 Gear Anti-Slip Sports Armband for iPhone 6 4.7"

In our home we don't personally own a iPhone 6 but our iPod 5th generations and LG Optimus Showtime Android Phone all worked in this Armband. With our LG Optimus Showtime we were even able to use it with the case on it.

I do suggest hand washing this or if you are going to machine wash, do so in a laundry bag and on the hand wash cycle, ours went through fine. I have reviewed several armbands and they all have their pros and cons.

The i2 Gear Anti-Slip Sports Armband for iPhone 6 4.7" was able to be used with more then what it originally said with the best part being it fit our phone and other iPods. The cons were that the only way I can wear this with being overweight is on my forearm.

My eleven year old called this as hers so she can run full throttle and not have to worry about her music slipping out of her hands. This is great for runners, or anyone who wants to keep their device close at hand, accessible, and safe. A great stocking stuffer for anyone looking for a little extra something to shove in the stockings this year.

You can purchase this on Amazon.

MarksvilleandMe takes a look at FarFaria

Even though I have done other reading site reviews, this is one my husband actually got to see in action and thought the kids would enjoy as much as I did. PreK-4th grade reading levels are included. You can read one story a day for free or you can buy a membership starting at 4.99 a month up to 59.99 for lifetime membership which we might just do at the end of my review time.

Both of my younger daughters can use this as well as my grand daughters so it will be well worth the one time membership to do this for them. You can read the books to your child, they can read them, or if you wish they have a automatic read to me which turns the pages and reads or a read to me in which you or the child turns the pages.

What I found a little different about this site over others is that they even had a songs category, and if you pick automatic read to me it turns the pages and sings the words to you or the child. I like that on nights when I get busy, we all know those nights my daughters can pick out a book and have it read to them. They are still being read to and they always tell me which book they choose so I can review it later.

I don't have to worry about them reading something I don't agree with because there are no grown up books to choose from, just books within their reading levels. While I was writing this I had FarFaria on singing Christmas Carols to me. Even as a grown up I find it very delightful. Below you can enter to win a 3 month membership to try it out for yourself.

One of MarksvilleandMe's readers will win a 3 month membership to FarFaria worth $14.97

Giveaway starts 11/16/014- 11/19/2014

MarksvilleandMe wishes everyone who enters Good Luck!

It is recommended to the ages 2-7.
This story is written in a way that makes your child want to eat healthier

MarksvilleandMe reviews The Healthy Me Team

written by

Netta Gerad

The Healthy Me Team was written in a friendly, fun way to teach children as well as reminding their caregivers how very important it is to eat healthy. The healthier you eat the healthier you will be both on the inside as well on the outside.

Teaching your children to make good choices is one the most important things you can do for your child as they grow. It becomes a part of their life and as they become adults they can continue to make choices in their lives.

My daughters loved how the book showed he difference in how people felt when they ate goodies, as well as how they felt when eating healthy foods. They also picked up how the book was telling the same thing the schools teach as well as what we tell them. It kind of brings it full circle that parents are telling them the truth when it comes to eating healthy.

You can purchase The Healthy Me Team on Amazon.

MarksvilleandMe reviews Wearever Mattress Pads

Wearever Mattress Pads can be used to protect against wetness as well as staining. I have a bleeding disorder. When my menstrual cycle time is near I know I can put this pad on my bed and protect my sheets and mattress from stains. I bleed very heavily and have not found anything that can hold that much blood so stains have been something I have had to deal with since I began my cycles.

With Wearever Mattress Pads I don't have to worry about this anymore. I now have a washable pad that I can throw in the laundry and use over and over again. No more stains. This is great on a child's bed as much as on an adults bed for urine, stool, or blood loss.

You can purchase the Wearever Mattress Pads here.

One of MarksvilleandMe's readers will win one product of their choice from Wearever (prices vary deciding on prize picked) November 15th 2014 - December 7th 2014. Open to USA residents only. MarksvilleandMe wishes everyone who enters Good Luck!
