Monster Match from North Star Games #NorthStarGames
So, me and Patty are waiting in line at Sweet Suite scrolling through twitter and at almost the same time we look at each other and said “OMG I want to hug a monster” So of course we did. While we were at the North Star Booth we got to play Monster Match and I knew right away my son would love it.
North Star Games explained it so easily we were playing in a few seconds. My little guy loves games but unless the rules are few and easy to learn we normally have to play our own way. Roll the dice and point to the right monster card that matched the dice. Roll monster with 1 eye, point as quick as you can then you get the card. Try and collect the most cards.
This is a great learning game for my son. Monster Match rules are easy, I can say we have to play by the rules which helps him learn to follow direction. Plus being the fastest at matching will not only help his memory but also his reflexes. Besides all this it is fun. This is a fun way to help your child learn to play by the rules and work on coordination at the same time.
This was a game that is not only for kids, Hubby and I also had a blast playing it. If you love family game night then make sure to have this one ready for your next night. Everyone will be excited when you pull this one out. I have to also note I love that it is all small and fits into this little cute package. No need to store a huge box they packaged this one up right.
I got this in my Swag Box from Sweet Suite.
What is Cupcake Surprise
As you know I have been looking high and low for some of the best toys for this holiday season. Cupcake Surprise is a must on that list. Where were these cuties when I was young? Ok to be honest I don’t have to be young to love them. I have one sitting on my desk and love to pop her in and out while working. Its kind of a great stress reliever for me.
The Cupcake minis are so cute. They remind me of a proper southern girl. They have their fancy dresses and their very cute hats.
The bigger ones come in a few different ones. They have the Classic Tales, Masquerade, Bridal, and Fairies. Each one of these are so cute.
The Fairy Tale ones I got were so cute. They came with a brush, and, and crown. You can choose the crown or the cupcake hat. I am a princess girl so of course I went with the crown. These also have scents. I love that the wand and crown fold right up in them when you have them in Cupcake form so no little pieces laying around.
When you fold them up they are also a very cute Cupcake and even better they are scented. Little guy is special needs and scents calm him down. He sniffs everything. He has picked the mini to keep for himself. He loved to sniff the great scent and pop her up and down.
I love that they are easy to fold up and down so I don’t have to worry about little ones being able to do it. I remember when we were kids and some of the fold out toys you needed the Jaws of Life and the muscle of a high school football player to get them open and closed. No more these beauty’s just pop right open.
Cupcake Surprise has definitely made it on must have list for this holiday season. Not only do I love them but so does my son. Pick these up before they sell out for the holidays. Make sure to check out the Holiday Gift Guide coming this October to see all the great new toys.
Disclosure: I got this free in exchange for an honest review.

DeskCycle 2 Giveaway
Welcome to the DeskCycle 2 Back To School Giveaway!
Sponsored by 3D Innovations
Hosted by A Modern Day Fairy Tale
Looking to get healthier this fall in a way that fits your schedule?
Wanting to incorporate more movement into you day, despite you desk job?
Want to be more energetic & productive during the work day?
Have a child who thrives on motion to keep them calm and focused?
If you answered yes to ANY of these questions, DeskCycle 2 is for YOU- an under the desk pedal exerciser that you can do as you work!
A Modern Day Fairy Tale is giving us a breakdown at some of the unique features that make DeskCycle a great option to increase your daily movement- at home, at work or at school:
- Smooth Motion. Many stationary bikes use a friction resistance that can cause jerky movements as you pedal. This isn’t ideal for allowing you to focus on your work, not to mention your joints. The DeskCycle uses magnetic resistance so the pedal motion is smooth— allowing your to truly focus on the work, not the motion. You can also pedal in forward or reverse motion- both with the same smoothness- to better target different muscles.
- Quiet Operation. I’ve been on many a good stationary bike throughout the years and some of them can get a little loud. That’s just fine for home or the gym… but at work or school can be quite the distraction. Honestly, I didn’t notice the noise at all when in use. There was perhaps a very small humming noise (think as much noise as you might find from a very small desk fan— or even a computer fan)… but nothing that we found to be of a distraction at all.
- Wide Resistance Range. DeskCycle has 8 resistance settings to best fit your fitness goals and abilities. At a 1-2, there is very minimal if any resistance. I found this great just for long term movement… easy, but constant. My daughter at almost 5-years-old likes to use it at this setting as well. At a 3-4 it’s a little more of an effort put forth, but still within my ability to maintain my focus on work with a good constant movement. This tends to be my most used setting. At a 5+, I find that I truly get a great cardio workout, increasing my heart rate and feeling it in my legs. Again, no matter your goals or needs, these resistance levels will help you reach those and provide just the workout YOU need— be it just moving, or getting your heart rate going and working those muscles hardcore. I find myself doing intervals at various speeds and resistance levels to get the ultimate workout myself.
- Clear Display. The DeskCycle comes with a display that includes distance, speed, time and calories burned. It is very clear and easy to read and understand. Beyond that though, it’s versatile, you can keep it on the DeskCycle itself, OR put it on the optional stand that will allow you to keep it on your desk, easily visible while you work. I also found it very helpful that they offer a calorie counter on their website. While the tracker on the display can be a fair estimate, there are many factors that keep it from being a truly accurate count- age, size, resistance, speed, distance etc are all factors that cannot be measured without more expensive technology. This counter on their website takes all of those factors into consideration so that if burning calories is a high priority, this can help you to do so.
- Stable Base. Have you ever seen a stationary bike that seemed to wobble from side to side when you pedaled? Chances are this was due to a more narrow base and higher center of gravity. The DeskCycle offers a wider base (20 inches wide in the front) with lower center of gravity. Even going top speeds, it was very stable…again making it an ideal option wherever you plan to use it.
- Comfortable Pedals.From my kids or my own small feet to my husband’s much larger size, these pedals truly were comfortable for all of us. They’re very wide, so there’s no slipping. They also feature Velcro straps to keep you comfortable even when pedaling for longer periods of time.
- Low Under Desk Profile. Regardless of which version you choose, they offer the lowest profile of any other magnetic bike by at LEAST 5 inches. The highest pedal height on the original DeskCycle is 10 inches. This means it can be used under a 27 inch tall desk (from floor to underneath bottom of desk) but anyone 5’8″ or shorter. Taller people will need a taller desk for more clearance. This is the difference in the DeskCycle and the DeskCycle 2. While all other features mentioned are the same, the DeskCycle 2 has a 9 inch max pedal height…making it more ideal for those who are a bit taller OR who have shorter desks. You can adjust it to fit your needs. At just under 5 foot myself, I found either worked very well for me, but I love that the DeskCycle 2 provides another option for those that need it.
Regardless of which option you choose, the DeskCycle or DeskCycle 2 can be a great way to incorporate more movement into your day to day. It will improve your health, your focus and you productivity. For home, school or at work, the DeskCycle is ideal.The DeskCycle retails for $189 and the DeskCycle 2 for $199. You can learn more and connect at the links below:

Bondi Beach Tea Co
If you are anything like me you love this new tea craze going on. Teas that are great for your body and mind. Trying to find the best ones for you can be hard these days. I not only want the benefits, I also want it to taste great. When I got the chance to try out Bondi Beach Tea I was excited. When I checked out the reviews first and they had some great ones, people were raving about them so I knew I had to try them too.
The Bondi Slim you make like any loose-leaf tea then for the first 28 days drink one cup in the morning before breakfast and one cup about 3 hours before dinner. After the first 28 days you then just drink one cup a day for maintenance.
The Colon Cleanse Tea like the other make like you normally would. Then drink 1 cup at night one hour before bedtime. Now normally when it says drink at night this makes for a very bad night for me I am up all night running to the bathroom. I though well let’s give it a try and I was pleasantly surprised. I did not wake up one time during the night to run to the bathroom. This is one I can actually take at night like they say.
SO far, I am very pleased with the results and the taste of Bondi beach tea. After drinking this I could tell after day 2 my bloating was way down. I have more energy and best of all I am not living in the bathroom for these results.

Great Games Coming From Goliath Games
My son gets so excited when new board games show up. I love that the games Goliath Games sends are not only fun, but also great for his imagination. These great games are going to be released tomorrow. Make sure to add these to your collection for family game night. A little popcorn some great games and family what else can you ask for.
Pop Rocket was a blast. My son loves stars and this was right up his alley. You fill it with the stars and pull the string then you put out the cups where you think they will land and let the fun begin. If you have a little one that loves stars and stuff that will explodes then this is a great way to go. I also love that they did not fly too far when this popped so we did not have to rush to pick them off the floor before the puppies got them.
Do you have a kid that knows everything? Then Kids Know Best is the one for you. Kids vs adults in our house. I hate to say that when ever we have one like this my nephew always wins. I think he secretly study’s everything beforehand, but to be honest he is just way to smart for is age. Lol This is going to be a great game to get everyone involved and having a blast.
As you all know we are a huge fan of Goliath Games they have a wide range of games for your younger ones, Pre-teens, teens and even adults. If you have a game lover in the house you are going to find a wide range of games here one for everyone. Family game night is going to be a blast when you shop with Goliath Games.
