Netflix, Friends, Family, & being Thankful

Being thankful in our family is a huge deal, God is a big part of our life and being able to see a new Veggie Tales movie is just what we needed. Veggie Tales in the House streams November 26th. I apologize for being so very late with this post but I have been battling being sick on and off all month. Right now the antibiotics that seemed to be working seem to be making me sick in a whole new way, if I am not better soon another trip to see the Dr. will be needed.  Even with being sick there isn't a day that goes by that I am not thankful for the time I have with my friends and family. 

Below you can see what  you can do for a craft with your children to go with the Veggie Tale Theme.

 Check out how to make your own veggie stamps here.

A nice veggie treat recipe is below.

Cucumber Rolls with Veggie (Tales) Cream Cheese  

Ingredients

• ¼ cup roughly chopped roasted red peppers
• ¼ cup oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes
• 6 baby carrots or 1 small carrot
• 1 stalk celery
• Pinch salt and pepper
• 1 (8-ounce) package regular cream cheese or reduced-fat cream cheese, at room temperature
• A few cucumbers, either English cucumbers or medium garden cucumbers

Instructions

1. In the bowl of a food processor, add all the vegetables plus salt and pepper. Pulse until the vegetables are finely chopped, about 30 seconds to 1 minute. Add the cream cheese into the food processor, and continue to blend until cream cheese is incorporated with the vegetables, scraping down the sides of the bowl if needed.
2. Now for the cucumbers: There are two ways to achieve cucumber slices. You can use a mandolin to make the thin, lengthwise cucumber strands. Or, you can do as I did and use a vegetable peeler to also make lengthwise strands. With either one, you want to stop once you reach the seeds of a cucumber, switching to use the other side of it. (Save any remaining cucumber parts to toss into a future salad.)
3. Then, place 1 or 2 cucumber strips on a cutting board (2 cucumber strips on top of each other allow for a sturdier vessel). Spread a thin layer of the veggie cream cheese down the cucumber strip. Starting on the smaller end of the cucumber, roll it up. Continue with remaining cucumber strips, making as many rolls as needed. Note: There will be leftover veggie cream cheese—all the better to slather on things like bagels, crackers, cherry tomatoes, and more.

Bob the Tomato and Larry the Cucumber are the perfect pairing. Did you know though that Netflix has a ton of other shows that offer perfect pairs? Check out the list below which also includes Veggie Tales in the House!

Here in Marksville we enjoy our own medley of family favorites this month such as Dutch, Funny Farm, and new to us Free Birds. Of course Christmas is right around the corner so we have been watching plenty of movies to get into the spirit such as, Christmas with the Kranks, Heart of Christmas, Frosty the Snowman...etc.

To do with the friend theme I would like to add The Baby Sitters Club, Beaches, Steel Magnolias, Romy and Michele's High School Reunion, Stand by Me, as well as Now and Then.

Some of our favorite finds this month were Season 2 of WolfBlood, as well as watching Deep Space Nine. Our family is diverse in what we watch but we always have time for movie night which can happen at the drop of a hat, and since I have been sick the girls and I have had plenty of downtime to do just that.

MarksvilleandMe reviews Insta Natural Niacinamide Vitamin B3 Moisturizer

Insta Natural Niacinamide Vitamin B3 Moisturizer comes in a small pump top bottle and is used after cleansing, toning, and using serums. It is applied with a upward motion and left to absorb into the skin. Can be used both night and day. 

I have done many reviews for the Insta Natural line and have enjoyed getting to know their company. I still have more coming, and hope to work with this company for a while. I have learned about different facial products out there, many I didn't even know existed. People need to know that they don't have to always get a face lift or plastic surgery, there are other options, with insta natural products being one of them.

You can purchase Insta Natural Niacinamide Vitamin B3 Moisturizer on Amazon.

MarksvilleandMe reviews FoxBrim Youthful Radiance Eye Cream

FoxBrim Youthful Radiance Eye Cream comes in a tiny pump bottle. You use FoxBrim Youthful Radiance Eye Cream by taking a very small amount of the white cream and dotting it around your eye area, then smoothing it in until it is absorbed. Remember a little goes a long way. You can use this twice a day. 

The FoxBrim Youthful Radiance Eye Cream made my eyes look more awake and youthful which is nice for those days when you haven't had much sleep. I love that the FoxBrim line is easy to use as well as being made in the U.S.A.

MarksvilleandMe reviews FoxBrim Ultra Lift Treatment

The FoxBrim Ultra Lift Treatment come in a small round pump bottle. The cream is white, thick, unscented, but goes on easily. The directions say to put this on your face daily to restore softer, smoother skin. 

When I use FoxBrim Ultra Lift Treatment I can feel my face instantly feel a little tighter, as if it is being lifted, it is amazing. As with many of Foxbrim's products a little goes a long way. One pump does my whole face. The ingredient list is huge but this product is not tested on animals and is made in the U.S.A.

Display-Sheet Makeup Bag Review

Product Description

his drawstring bag with display sheet makes it easy to find what you're looking for. Open the bag, pull out the loose end of the display sheet, and pour the bag's contents onto it so you can look through them. When you've found what you need, just lift the display sheet and slide the rest of the items back into the bag! 

Sleek, durable nylon fabric makes this a great storage device for any range of small items that might be otherwise difficult to organize!

MarksvilleandMe reviews Display-Sheet Makeup Bag

The Display-Sheet Makeup Bag I have is black and so easy to use. My Display-Sheet Makeup Bag is used for inside my purse so that I can easily find what I am looking for when I want to put on hand cream, lip gloss, or find my nail file. The Display-Sheet Makeup Bag holds many small items and has so many uses. 

The Display-Sheet Makeup Bag if made bigger could be used to tote around Polly pockets, small cars, hair accessories, or a small amount of building blocks to keep a child busy during a Dr. visit, church service, or anywhere you need to occupy your child while waiting. 

This bag comes in a few sizes and colors but I would like them to be made in a few extra colors and sizes.I have washed my bag in a laundry bag and hung to dry it came out spic and  clean. What I love most about the Display-Sheet Makeup Bag is that it is another product made right here in the USA. If you have a fashion diva that you are looking for a gift for this might be what you are looking for.

You can purchase the here.
