I just wanted to share a bit more fun for the release of Norm of the North... (Remember that I was sent a copy for review!)

Also, as I mentioned in my earlier post, this would be cute to do a craft to help spend time together for Mothers Day.  Make the Norm of the North Paper Craft and then enjoy the movie... or make it after the movie, totally up to you! In case you need to get up and move, here is a clip showing Norm bust a move!

If your summer could use a bit of excitement in it, make sure to check out  Creativity In a Can  .  I had never heard of them, but they are pretty nifty if you ask me.  Creativity in a Can is can full of odds and ends arts and crafts supplies.  You can buy the can based on a theme: Art, Motion, Music or others.  Then you let your creativity build whatever your heart desires! There are no instructions and you are free to explore new and creative ways to reach an end goal.    They make smaller cans that are perfect for individual play.  They also have larger cans that hold more craft supplies.  That would be a great one to sit out at a camp (or party) and it would even m...

All photos belong to Jumpin Beans Blog.  Over the summer, Broxton was invited to one of his best friends house for the coolest birthday party!  They are big Georgia Fans... (Go DAWGS!)  They decided to do a "football themed" party and we had a blast!!!  While there, towards the end, they busted out a little Flag Football game for the boys and at that point it hit me...   THIS WOULD BE AWESOME FOR MY WILD BOYS AT CHRISTMAS!    At that point, I started thinking more and more about it...  Great gift idea - CHECK Great way to have them active - CHECK Great way to cut down on injury - CHECK   So, I decided that would be a great way to get smiles out of th...

I was given the opportunity to try out the Rose Art Surprise Inside Sidewalk Chalk and Broxton was SO EXCITED to try it out!!! The one we were sent was in the shape of a flower. Each petal had a different color of sidewalk chalk... The middle part of the flower was also the place where the surprise was left!   Broxton kept trying to figure out what he had to do to get the walker ready... We colored with all of them, but settled on the white one, as it was where the surprise was!!! He worked and worked.. Since we were both going to be surprised, I was fine letting him have a blast with the chalk......

Broxton had seen the commercials about it and had been asking, so we decided to surprise him with a treat to go there.  He was so excited and was eager to take his picture in front as soon as we walked up to the building!!!! Getting ready to head inside!   The reason we were given the chance to go was to share with you a new app that is now available. It is the Take a Snapshot with Chuck E. App.  You are told about it as soon as you walk in.  (No, it is not forced down your throat from the staff, but they do have advertising for it as soon as you open the door.)  The App is FREE and it is pretty neat.  Throu...

We were sent a new CD for us to enjoy and I thought it was great... Since Broxton is in school right now, I sent it in to let his teacher use it... but I know we will be getting plenty of use out of it this summer!!! The problem with us and CDs is that we don't have a CD player in the house... The day that Get Moving with Ella Jenkins arrived, I put it in the car as soon as we were in there... We listened to it, but it really isn't a car CD, it is a CD to get moving, not sit and listen!  Ella Jenkins has a great time on her CD and you can feel it as soon as you hear it. With Get Moving, you immediately want to get up and follow the rules to her songs! There are songs we all know, such as London Bridges and One Potato, Two Potato... but then there are new (at least to me) songs such as Teddy Bear and Did You Feed My Cow... I loved that Get Moving teaches so much more than just to get up and move. First of all, you have to learn to listen. She gives directions as...

   To get ready for the release of Ice Age: Continental Drift, I get to share with you a couple of activities that incorporate the movie!!!!  Also, I will get to offer you a giveaway...
