I actually started blogging as a way to "talk." Being home with Broxton all day, I was not really getting much of adult conversation... So, I figured I could blog... and if someone wanted to read it, they could. I am trying to get into posting more... Reading other blogs has allowed me to venture into meeting different people and learning so much!
Since I first started, I have found that I am more of a review blogger now.
I am LOVING IT!
I have been able to learn about so many products that I had never even heard of!
The companies I have been fortunate to work with are full of great people.

Also through my blogging, I have made friends that are pretty AMAZING! A few of my friends from before the blogging days are on here, so it is also nice to be able to see their kids.. and yes, they are just too cute!

Those that I would like to award are:

BlueViolet at A Nut In a Nutshell - your blog is what makes me laugh every single day...
Lorie at The Shewbridges of Celebration, FL - you are a strong woman and I know that you will make it through Nikolaus' deployment
Joanna at The Casa - Love seeing the girls grow up... and I had NO IDEA she was so crafty!
Hettie at A Little Piece of our Heaven - Another woman strong in her faith and love the updates of Ryan!

I could go on and on with a reason why I love all the blogs I follow..
But, I need to go check on Broxton.

Thanks again Melissa for the award!
I am not sure if I can award it back to you... so I am not going to do it and look stupid!
But, without you, Jumpin Beans would not be here..

    Noelle,
    Thank you so much for you kindness and for passing this award along. I find your blog to be so refressing and wonderful. With all the things you are going through trying to raise a little one with Marc so far away, yet always looking at the positive side of things (well, almost always, we all have a bad day now & then).
    You are an amazing Army wife, blogger, mother and friend. Thank you for thinking for me to pass this on to, I will cherish it.

PowerMat - Review and Giveaway

Image
Please let me go ahead and just say... I think/KNOW that the PowerMat will be one of the HOTTEST items this year! Have you heard of this? I mean, seriously! This is Awesome and I am using that since I can not think of any other way to explain it... (Are there really words that would explain something this cool?!) Okay, let me just cut to the heart of it... The PowerMat is just that... A MAT full of POWER! It is a little bit longer than an average book... Thinner than a cell phone. It looks like a skateboard (in my opinion.) and it charges 3 different technological gadgets at once! Do you know what that means? You NO LONGER need 3 cords, no more messy tangles... Just one cord to plug the mat in and you are done!!!! I was sent the PowerMat for review and I am so very impressed! The PowerMat can charge 3 different items... Marc and I have blackberries... (They can now BOTH charge on here AT THE SAME TIME!) We also have several IPods ... The docking station for the IPod can charge my...

Fire Fly Toothbrushes - #giveaway

Image
Is it a hassle to get your younger kids to brush their teeth? Broxton loves it and asks throughout the day if he can go and brush his... Now that he has a new toothbrush!!! We were sent a couple toothbrushes from Fire Fly Toothbrushes and I just love the concept! With Fire Fly, they light up! You just press the button and they light up for a solid minute. What we do here is a little system. First, Broxton brushes his teeth for the first minute. (just a teeny bit of toothpaste) Then, I brush the next minute (once again, minimal toothpaste.) Finally, he gets to brush them a final minute (no toothpaste.) The system is working and his teeth are clean! During the day, when he wants to brush them.. He can, but with no toothpaste. He really just likes the way it lights up. Doesn't hurt that the toothbrush is a hot wheels car!!! He also has one to leave at my parents house.. It is a snoopy one and lights up blue! Talk about a cool item to show the grandparents!!! Not only c...

Hurry Up! Review & Giveaway

Image
The Holidays are getting closer and closer! Some may want the days leading up to them to "Hurry Up!" So, with that in mind... I want to kick things off with a pretty cool giveaway!!!!!!! Hurry Up! The Dice Game is kicking things off for us... Check back daily to see what is in store!! Hurry Up! The Dice Game, by Random Line is a hit around here already! True enough, Marc and I did not follow the directions, exactly as we were supposed to, but that was because I did not read them all the way! In our defense, we just wanted to see how much fun it would be to prepare for when the boys are here again! (Note, it will be a big hit! I can see it already!!) This game is super fun and as the name says... Hurry Up!!!! You have 6 die and 6 challenges... One dice is blue... and that adds for lots of fun!!! You only have 30 seconds to complete the challenge... and you might think that 30 seconds is a long time, but in actuality, it is NOT as long as you need it for some challenge!!!!...
