Peanut Butter Cookies MarksvilleStyle


1 cup of chunky or smooth peanut butter
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 large egg
3/4 tsp. baking soda






Heat Oven to 350.  Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper. ( I used my silicone pads)
Using an electric mixer beat all ingredients in large bowl until fully incorporated.
Drop by level teaspoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets spacing them 1 1/2in. apart.. ( I used one of those fancy cookie scoops), ( I also took a fork and pressed down one way and then the next way) Bake until cookies are puffed and starting to turn slightly brown around the edges for 8-10 minutes.. Let cool on sheets for 5 minutes then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Makes about 5 dozen ( I only got 4 dozen from a double batch)
(Maybe they make a smaller cookie scoop I don’t know but either way this is my new favorite recipe.) A big thank you to my friend Betty Stark for this recipe. 
Now does anyone have a good recipe for soft oatmeal raisin cookies that won’t fall apart?

Salsa Dance Workout DVD




As with all of the Dance and Salsa Crazy DVD's our family has had a blast with this. I get to move more and we all get to learn a new dance. I think we laugh more then dance but either way we are having a ball. 

I love how they break each move down and before you know it you are dancing and having a good time, the best part is that it helps you move to lose weight. 

You can purchase Salsa Dance Workout on Amazon.

Phantom Fit Reflective Vest



My daughters like to run, play, etc outside, sometimes in the summer they are a bit late getting home and I want to make sure they are safe. With the Phantom Fit Reflective Vest I can make sure that cars are going to see them which should keep my little ones from getting hit. Mind you I still call my 6 foot 2, and our 2 daughter who are both taller then my husband and myself munchkins. 

They are far from being munchkins but a mother making sure her babies are safe never ends. With that being said when I had my 12 year old try this one the first thing she said is that slow people where these. I had to stop her and remind her of all of the people around us who wear these are something close to these. Firemen, Policemen, Road workers, etc, and she started to get it that very important people wear these to stay safe while they are on the roads. 

I explained to her she is important and if she wants to run close to dark with her older sister I want to make sure she as safe as can be. Spring is coming and my children are more then ready to be able to play outside again after a long winter cooped up inside. 

The Phantom Fit Reflective Vest is a vest that can be adjusted up and down to fit either my 7 year old or my 12 year old and will probably fit my 20 year old as well. It does have a little give, kind of like big suspenders and clicks almost like a baby car seat, very durable looking. 


You can purchase Phantom Fit Reflective Vest on Amazon.

HotelSpa® Ultra-Luxury 7-setting LED Hand Shower with Temperature Sensor



Recently my bathroom got a mini makeover with a new shower head, liner, and rings. I am thankful for the little things in life and a nice shower is one of them.

What I love about this shower and it is something we show people when they come over is the LED lights. For me I now know my children can take a shower and they know that green is safe while red is too hot for them. Personally My shower flickers from red to green for it to be just right for me, but everyone has a different temperature they like to take their showers at.

This is a great for children who are just learning to take their own showers that way you know they shouldn't burn themselves. Great product for home or hotel. I can see why hotels might want to put this in their business. It lets their customers know when it is safe to take a shower and when it isn't. The one thing I love about hotels is their never ended hot water for showers or baths.

You can purchase the HotelSpa® Ultra-Luxury 7-setting LED Hand Shower with Temperature Sensor here or on Amazon.

6000 Piece Loom Band set (10 colors)



The rubber band looms and bracelets are still going strong. For us it is a problem finding bands in our local stores so I have been ordering from online. Recently we received the 6000 Piece Loom Band set in (10 colors). 

My girls were like vultures as soon as they were opened they were calling out the colors they wanted. I told them as soon as I got a few pictures they could have them. Soon as the pictures were done the bands disappeared and they have been making bracelets ever since.   

Not all bands are created equal I am sure some other parents out there have run into the bands that are way to big or to thin. You don't have to worry about these bands they are just right, and easy to work with. Like I said the pictures were in hurry so they could go off and create, so excuse the mess in the background.


You can buy the 6000 Piece Loom Band set (10 colors) here or on Amazon.
