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! I know Broxton is going to be excited, but honestly, there is no age limit on these things!

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...

Do you fill stockings for your children?  I know Santa comes and brings things, but do you do stockings and stuff them from family?  The reason I ask is because the last couple years, Broxton's school did a stocking for each child in the class and we all sent in different treats for them to have for Christmas.  That got me thinking... So last year I did stockings for all the boys.  You know what is good for them?  Hygiene items... and new toothbrushes.  They don't live here, so they don't have toothbrushes that they leave here (We tried in the past, but they would argue over who had what color, so we quickly ended that one!)  I figure it is nice to fill their stockings with things ...

A bit ago I shared a new DVD featuring The Miz from the WWE.  It is called Santa's Little Helper and while I didn't think the acting was amazing (I hate to admit that I have never been a huge fan of The Miz) it did have a great story line. Truthfully, I don't see the fan base that they have (WWE's The Miz and Paige)  really commenting on the acting... (My son thought it was a great movie) but I did want you aware that it will not being winning any awards anytime soon.  Anyways... Santa's Little Helper has The Miz as the bad guy, IMAGINE THAT!!!!   He is a business man that has so much to learn! He ends up being selected to be "Santa's Helper" but there is an elf that thinks she is better...

Broxton has been to several wrestling events and enjoys watching them live and on TV. When I saw that The Flintstones were teaming up with WWE, I knew this was going to be a DVD that Broxton was going to love.  Little did I know when I surprised him with the DVD that he already knew about it.  He handed it to me and said "Let's Yabba Dabba Doo this!  Let's watch it now!"  So we did!   I am not sure what I thought it was going to be, but it had the wrestling super stars as just regular people as it started, then they started wrestling.  Of course, the "mastermind" behind it all was Fr...

If you remember a post from a couple of weeks ago, I told you I was going to be surprising Broxton with a trip to Wizard World - Comic Con when it came to Atlanta...   He was so excited to go,as we took Marta down there and he was "excited to be on a train!"   If you follow me on INSTAGRAM , you saw some of the highlights of our day, but I wanted to share more with you guys!!!   I was totally walking in blind, as I had NO CLUE what to expect, so it was going to be a fun adventure for us both!   When we first got to Comic Con, we walked in and already saw a few different types of people... Of course, some were dressed up, but no where near what I thought we would see.  Broxton already had i...

You made it back!!! I told you that I had something to make the Panthers Game Better!!! With the boys doing the SUMO wrestling, they got tickets for us to return the next weekend for WWE event!   Of course, you know this house LOVES WWE, so we were all about it!!! I tell you this... If you or anyone you know loves the WWE... It is totally WORTH it to go to a smaller place to watch them. The civic center is smaller than other places we have seen them.. so you get better views... BUT- it is like they are so much fan interactive there too!!! Heath Slater...   Ha ha Ha... He (Ted Dibiase, or however you spell it)  was dancing making fun of how Heath Slater has to dance because of the air guitar he always seems to play!!! The Great Khali. He just always makes me smile!!!! Sheamus!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Randy Orton.... The "main event" After the show, you were able to go out somewhat near their bus to see them all... Talk about a good picture!!!! ...

Opinions expressed are my own and are NOT influenced by monetary compensation. As you know, we are big fans of the WWE here... The boys love it... and have passed that love on down to Broxton. We have been to different matches and each time we go, it is a blast... Full of memories for us and many conversations about what happened that night.   I love these moments, as they will soon be too grown to go to events like this...  Between events and Monday Night Raw / Friday Night Smackdown, you know what we have? WWE figures!  Broxton has several of them.   He has received them as gifts... he has saved his money and bought them... and of course, Santa brought him the Money In Bank Ring and a couple of wrestling figures.  We saw the Brawlin' Buddies advertised on TV and Bro...

Opinions expressed are my own and are NOT influenced by monetary compensation. We love the WWE at this house... and that also includes the WWE movies. When 12 Rounds came out, I knew I wanted to see it because it had John Cena and we all know how much I love him...  You know... he is so supportive of the military and the Make a Wish Foundation. Well.... The movie was great (imagine that!) So......... When I saw that they had a new movie... 12 Rounds 2 Reloaded. I was eager to see it as well.   This movie has Randy Orton as the main character.  (We also love him as well, so that meant we wanted to see it too!) Let me start by saying: As much as the WWE caters to the younger age.... this movie is NOT appropriate for the main WWE crowd. I am not sure if they were just no...

I was not asked to post this.  This is not a sponsored post.. I just really love the WWE and wanted to share. Maybe bring an old fan back, make a few new fans, or at least share all they are doing with current fans. If you have been around Jumpin Beans for some time.. You know that we love the WWE. I love that they are a name that has been around for a good amount of time...  I love that they support the military... I love that they support Make a Wish Foundation... I love that they support Breast Cancer Awareness.  As you can see, WWE is not only about wrestling...  They are about community. That being said, I wanted to share with you a few things that I have been made aware of, thanks to emails... Make A Wish: WWE Superstar John Cena celebrated World Wish Day with three wish kids that attended  Monday Night Raw  live in Columbus, OH.  Logan Parks of Stanton, Kentucky, Jacob Lawson of Hutchinson, Minnesota and Nicholas Santillo of Runnemede, ...

Being a military wife that has had her husband deployed during the holidays, I get emotional when watching the WWE Tribute to the Troops each year.  Tonight, I was happy to have the chance to watch it with My Hero. I just wanted to take this time to personally thank the WWE for doing this.  Tonight (December 19th) marked 10 years of the wwe doing this.  It makes me feel good to see people thanking my husband and his brothers and sisters of the military.  I asked Marc if it was wrong of me to take pride when a celebrity thanks them for their service.  I mean, honestly, our military is often forgotten for all that they do.  Not to mention that they don't get paid anywhere near what they should... The celebrities... Well, we know they are paid well... and it saddens me when people put celebrities on pedestals because of them being in a movie.  No, I don't have a problem with celebrities, but it does make me proud when THEY thank the military.... because ...

I was so excited when I found out that we were going to be going to Hell In A Cell.  Broxton is still into wrestling, so I knew he was going to be happy.  We bundled up and headed to the Arena to see what we going to happen.  I have been to wrestling matches before.. and we went to WrestleMania last year, but I had no clue what Hell In A Cell was going to be about. Of course, we got there and had really great seats... So, I got my camera ready for when they lit up and sign and I think I got a decent picture...    If you have been here before, you know that I really respect John Cena and all he stands for.  From Supporting the Troops to being VERY active in Make a Wish Foundation.  I was not surprised when he took his "Never Give Up" phrase and used it to help support Breast Cancer Awareness... He had all of his apparel in pink.  (We found out the next week that the WWE donated 1 million dollars to Breast Cancer Research!)   ...
