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...

The holidays bring along lots of great times.  Not only the excitement of the weather (Hot chocolate anyone?)  But it is so much more...  for us, it is about making memories and of course, gifts!  Broxton is showing a big interest in all sports and not just in playing them.  He says he wants to play every single sport there is, but it is cute when he gets his toys out to start playing games in the house!   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 have been able to review several products from the TeenyMates line.  They have all sorts of sports figures, like NBA, NHL and even NFL.  The part that really excited Broxton?  When they introduced the Lil' Troops!  As much as he is excited to get them, their newest release is what made M...

You know you have a pretty good book on your hands when you leave it laying around and you spot your husband pick it up a few times to look at it ... and he NEVER picks up a book... EVER.   Well, that was just the case with Football Then to Wow from Sports Illustrated Kids!  Image Credit - Amazon When I saw the title of this book, I figured it would make a welcome addition in our house of football fans!  Let's be honest here... with the boys coming up at Christmas, I knew I was going to need to find a bit of new "reading material" for their bathroom visits... Maybe a bit TMI for you - but just being honest!!!   In Football Then to Wow, we get a great look at history... and I have really en...

Opinions expressed are my own and are NOT influenced by monetary compensation. 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.....

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 ...

So, I have been talking about the NFL Football camp that the boys went to, but I have yet to tell all of you about it.  (I really apologize, I will blog about that later...)  Anyways, as a blogger, I get plenty of emails each day... I love it and I love when great opportunities come my way.  This was no exception!!!  We had the chance to have the boys go to a Football camp for the day. The 12 year old is IN LOVE with football... and he hopes to make it to the NFL down the road.  The 15 year old loves sports, so I knew he would like it too. This was such a neat day...  First of all, I believe it was like the third year they did it...  (Our first year, but hopefully not the ...

I am so excited to tell you what is going on here... We have the boys up visiting for Summer Break and of course, with a house of boys... It is always GO GO GO ...    The youngest of them is 12 and he is really into football.  As in he has played for different football teams since he was in second grade. He loves it and not only shows a passion for it, but he is really good at it. He actually had a coach that used to play in the NFL and he even had to talk about how he was such a good player! That being said...   I love opening up emails and finding surprises. I opened an email and saw that there was a football camp being held by a couple NFL players... I KNEW that I would want to take the boys to it.  If only one was able, I knew I wanted it to be the youngest, Marc!!!  Nothing against Caleb, but he is more into basketball.  Luckily, they are both able to go!!!! Here are the details: NFL Summer Football Camp for Andre Fluellen (Chicago Bears...
