We Choose Virtues Poster Review + Giveaway



MarksvilleandMe reviews We Choose Virtues Poster

Even though these virtues are a bit different then you would find in the Bible they are still very good at teaching your children to be good and to help them grow up into loving adults. They follow very closely to what the Bible says as well as with the way I would like my children to be everyday. 

With having 6 children you would think we would have it all figured out, well that depends on what aspect you are referring to. Every child is different and learns at a different pace. With being sick the last few years and finally getting a diagnosis of Fibromyalgia, but not until after I lost a bit of control with my children, we are finally trying to get back on track. 

What happened to our family didn't happen overnight, so it won't be fixed overnight. Not sure if it is Christmas or if some of what we have been working on is working but my two youngest girls have been working on cleaning their rooms, I mean really cleaning their rooms. 

There rooms look like a hurricane picked up everything and then just dropped it all over. Their rooms have been so bad that they either sleep on the floors in their rooms, or sleep on our living room couch, or on occasion on the floor in our Bedroom. 

Even though I am now on a regular medication routine, I still have pain on most days, limiting what I can do. On top of that I have a weak immune system so I catch pretty much everything that blows our way. Currently I am battling pneumonia. Anyways it is hard enough for me to keep up with the dishes and laundry without worrying about their rooms as well. 

My husband and myself have always believed that children should learn how to take care of themselves. Cooking, washing their laundry, cleaning their rooms, dressing themselves, as well as being kind to others, and being a good productive member of Society. 

The We Choose Virtues Poster is a reminder to the children what they need to do to be kind and productive without always hearing me nag to them about what they need to do. I can just say check the Virtues Poster and see if you are choosing correctly. This I hope will help our  family cut down on yelling which is one of the biggest problems my children have. 

What We Choose Virtues has to say

This colorful poster is a complete list of all 12 of our Virtues, their Catchphrases and Antonyms. The Kids of VirtueVille are pictured next to each Virtue for easy reference. The Kids Virtue Poster presents a language of Virtue that is both clear and positive.  If you are looking for a precise and consistent standard for both attitudes and actions that everyone can understand, this is a great place to start. It will help you create a brand new culture in your home or classroom that will eliminate confusion and build hope. 

The 12 Virtues are: I am Diligent, I am Obedient, I am Kind, I am Helpful, I am Forgiving, I am Honest, I am Perseverant, I amSelf-controlled, I am Content, I am Patient, I am Gentle and I am Attentive! 



One lucky MarksvilleandMe reader will win a We Choose Virtues Poster. Starts 12/7 Ends 12/16/2014. MarksvilleandMe wishes everyone who enters Good Luck!

Undead: Ten Tales of Zombies Review



MarksvilleandMe reviews Undead: Ten Tales of Zombies
Edited by
Rayne Hall

OK I have to be honest this is my favorite book so far in my readings from Rayne Hall, probably due to the fact that Zombies are my favorite thing next to Vampires to read about in the Horror genre of reading. 

What I liked most is that I didn't have to wait for another book to read because I had 10 stories to read back to back, but alas the book of stories did come to an end, leaving me wanting more. Wonder if they will make any of these into a movie? I can hope right? 

Let's just say if you love Zombie movies, stories, shows, then this book is right up your alley, and for the Zombie lovers out there, Undead: Ten Tales of Zombies will make the perfect gift. 

You can purchase on Amazon.

Personalized Letter Package from Santa Review + Giveaway



Surprise your child with a personalized letter from Santa. A big shiny red envelope will arrive in the mailbox for your child containing a personalized letter from Santa, a Nice List certificate with Santa's and Rudolph's signature, a personalized letter from Rudolph, Santa's workshop stickers, a Christmas game board, a Special Delivery from the North Pole stamp, magic Christmas dust, washable Christmas tattoos, and a free phone call from Santa. 



I had to whisk this away before my Grand daughter Lilly saw it. She will get this Monday while she is visiting with me. She is going to be so surprised. She is at the age where Santa is a big thing, so getting a personalized letter will surely be one of the highlights of the season for her. The shiny, bright, red, envelope alone will get her excited, but the contents will throw her over the top. 


Awesome letters, I can not wait to see her face when I read them to her. She will surely know that Santa has been watching all year round because how else would he know such personal information about her. The picture above shows the game flipped over. It is wipe able so if you use crayons or wipe off markers you can use it again and again. 

The certificate is by far the most beautiful part, make sure you save this for the scrap books. My grand daughter loves tattoos those are the the 5 pictures on the red envelope. There are stickers that  she can place on a background to make her own picture. She will have hours of fun with this and I am sure everyone she sees she will have to tell all about how she got a letter at Mama's house from Santa himself. 

One reader from MarksvilleandMe will win their very own Personalized Letter Package from Santa value of 21.70. Starts 12/6 Ends 12/15/2014 12:00 AM. MarksvilleandMe wishes everyone who enters Good Luck.
