It is so crazy how toys change over time!  Savannah loves to play with Broxton's old ones and Broxton likes to play with his Uncle Ashton's that were put up... but at the end of the day, they both LOVE the new toys that come out and think they have to have the latest and greatest!    JAKKS PACIFIC makes so many toys and they are always big hits around here.  (So many new to me too!) If you are trying to go ahead and get a jump on Easter idea's...  Might want to see what all JAKKS PACIFIC has to offer!    It is so hard to say no to that face!

Are you working on finishing up your Christmas shopping? If you have young ones, old ones or any in between, you will absolutely LOVE the items coming from Teeny Mates these days!

Up first I want to share with you that the NFL TeenyMates that we love so much can now be purchased as a 32 piece pack instead of just the packs of 2 that were in the past.  Broxton is going to be so excited to know he now has the whole collection! In the packaging for you to wrap. I took it out of the box for you to see the whole set (and the complete puzzle!) One of the TeenyMates beside a HotWheel car for size comp...

Growing up, my cousin was one of my best friends.  I remember going to her house and playing Barbies for like a million years.  She had the Barbie house too, super cool!   I tried to remember what age I started liking Barbie (and when I grew out of them) but for the life of me, I can't recall.  My mom recently said she played with Barbies for ages and then her mom joked that she traded Barbies for boys and it was over then!  I was excited to get two Barbie books for review to see the history of that doll so many girls have grown to love over the years!  FTC Compliant Review Policy: The product(s) featured in this review were provided free of cost to me by the manufacturer or representing PR agency for the sole purpose of product testing.

We love the TeenyMates and Broxton cracks me up playing with all of them...  The other day, he was asking me for a piece of paper with a "G" on it... I told him to hold on for a few minutes and the next thing I know, he had his blocks out making the banner that football players run through before the game starts!  I tell you, this kid... he has an imagination.  Of course my camera was NO WHERE TO BE FOUND, so you have to take my word on it...  The bad thing is that we only have a couple of them...   so his games are pretty small... but it is good that he will use his hockey and nfl players as stand ins if he needs to!!!  Luckily this year, he will be finding a few more Teeny Mate...

If you want to use it as a key ring, you totally have that option... but, if you are in school (or carry a back pack to work ...one of my closest friends does... he works for a sports marketing company!) You might want to clip these to your bag as a trend starter or to show off your collection.  I could see this being one of those where you trade with your friends... Hey.. be the cool mom or dad and clip it to your diaper bag! I know from my days in the bar that Steelers are some of the most DIE HARD fans you have ever seen...  So, I can only imagine what the Steeler fans do with theirs... I was lucky enough to be sent a SAINTS one.....

So, are you a fan of the NHL?  I never really was...  But living in Atlanta and working at a Sports bar...    I did pull for a few teams...  I still don't know why I liked them Bruins, but I did... and Marc likes the Red Wings...  So, when I saw that we would be getting the NHL TeenyMates for review, I was crossing my fingers for one of those teams for us...  (They don't have the Thrashers, or I would have loved that, being a Georgia native.) Imagine my EXCITEMENT when I saw that they had 4 super rare NHL figures... A glow in the dark one, a gold metallic one, a HARTFORD WHALERS (I really...

Lil' Teammates impressed me when they released Teeny Mates...  Now, they have done it again with the Teeny Mates NHL line, NFL Series 2 and the TagALongs!!! Just what does that mean? It means it is time to ADD TO YOUR COLLECTION!!!! I wanted to do them as a collection for Broxton. But then, they arrived and he LOVES playing with them!!! Teeny Mates are small figures (like the size of a fingerprint) They are so stinking cute... at least to me they are! In each package, you receive 2 random teams... There are also 2 pieces to a puzzle.   The more packages you buy , the better your chance to complete the set... but also you collect more puzzle pieces to have to complete the puzzle. The puzzle ...

We had the chance to review figures from the Lil' Teammates line before and let me tell you, Broxton LOVES them!!!  He has a Falcon's Player, a Basketball player and a couple NCAA Baseball players. Then, they made teeny mates and they are over the door to greet us when we walk in his room. As you can tell, we love sports and we love collecting items.  Broxton loves to play with them and he has them playing with each other (guess they are in the Olympics or something with the mixture of sports being played.) Well, Lil' Teammates has recently released the Lil' Teammates Collectible Team Sets.  Each Set has a Quarterback, a Running Back and a Lineman. This would be a cute collectible item for a Sports Fan in your life..   (Or for a couple kids you might know that love sports!)     The teams that are currently available: • 22 NFL teams to choose from: • Chicago Bears • Cincinnati Bengals • Denver Broncos  ...
