Wonder Forge






I love Wonder Forge!  They make some of the best games I have ever played with my son and nephew. They are high quality games and are durable and extremely fun and get the kids really into the game.

Wonder Forge let me try a few games and they where big hits!  First off we tried Joker fun house. All  of our favorite of the three.  Kids or Big Kids pick which superhero the want to be from Batman, Superman, Green Lantern or the Flash! One player is picked to play the Joker!  Kids take turns spinning the wheel (if your joker you get your own wheel to spin)  and moving along the color game board.  If you land on a power up you get to use your superhero's special power! such as Batman gets a shooting symbol to try and knock the Joker down so he has to start all over.  Joker gets his own fun tricks he is playing against all the other players.  He has to make his escape before all the superheroes make it to the end.  He gets the option of rolling a ball to knock over the superheroes so they have to start all over (this is my nephews favorite to be! He is 5 and loves making us start all over.)  This game is endless fun and my nephew begs to play every week.  It never gets old!


The next game we tried was Who Shook Hook? game.  The game is fun!  It is a great game of skill and knowledge.  It really makes you think and have a steady hand.  Players take turns going around the game board and picking treasures off Hooks hammock (Hook also sleeps on the Hammock along with all the treasure.  but do not shake Hook!  If Hook falls it is all over.  Some parts are really challenging like trying to get a piece of Treasure piece with the shovel.  I fail every time.  This fun game is a blast.  The person with the most treasures win.  This game is based on the Disney series Jake and the Neverland Pirates.



The last game we tried was Dr Seuss Fun Machine.  This game is played along with a app type device like an Ipad.  Just download the app from Itunes.  It comes with strong and sturdy cards.  Three fun games that include Matching, Guess-A-Roo, and Slap Down.  All three games are  fun and challenging.     Extremely fun and goes along with your Ipad (also IPhone or IPod.)  From Guessing to matching fun and learning all in one.  I too love playing with my son.




**Again I would love to thank Wonder Forge for being Awesome and letting me try these games in exchange for a honest Review.  I did not receive monetary compensation and the opinions in this review are my heartfelt views.

Numi Pu-erh Teas Review



Numi has been long know for its high standard and great tasting hot teas and  flowering teas.  I got to try their new Pu-erh Teas  with my mom group.  I love getting opportunities like this.  


We had our normal group meeting and I handed out the teas.  They where an instant hit.  Cold Crisp and real pure tea.  They didn't have the over watered down or over sweetened flavors that all those brands you see on the shelves at the store.  It tasted like the pure tea that your used to from Numi but in a cold already made tea product.  


The group feed back was 4 1/2 starts to 5.  Everyone loved it.  The most mentioned thing about the tea was the that it wasn't overly sugared.  


For a great Refresh Tea I recommend for you to try the New Numi Cold Teas.  They are delish, healthy, and in a league of their own. 


** the above opinions are mine and my groups alone.  We received no monetary compensation for our opinions and hope you  enjoy the tea as much as we did. 


*** Thank you to The amazing NUMI Tea who waited forever for this blog.  I get sick all the time and did the test taste months ago.  Thank you again. 


Catch Them on Facebook or Twitter.

Cave Woman Bars Review

Cave Woman Bars Review







.I have had the chance to try Cave Woman Bars in Exchange for a review.  Cave Woman Bars are a great vegan snack.  They are quick and easy to fit in your purse or bag when on the go.

I got to try one of each flavored bar.  PB&J (Peanut Butter & Jelly), Banana Nut Bread - (Raw),Blueberry Pancake, Baklava - (Raw), Pineapple Upside-Down Cake -( Raw).



My favorite was The Baklava and Pineapple Upside-down cake.  Both raw bars and have tons of flavor.  The Baklava has a strong cinnamon taste while the Pineapple upside-down cake has a great cherry flavor.  I loved all the flavors.  My husband tried a piece of the Baklava and it had too much cinnamon, nutmeg flavor for him but he loved all the other flavors.

I found they are a little on the pricey side but they are so worth it.  They are about 3 dollars a bar.

Thank you for Cave Woman Bars and thank you for you patience through my illnesses.

Good Belly Review

Good Belly Review!



I got to try a few products from GoodBelly. We tried The GoodBelly Plus shots and Kids Shots. Certified Organic.


First off Goodbelly Plus shots really help.  They are really easy to drink and are easy on my stomach (which is very easily upseted.),  Flavors are great and if you love real juice (not the watered down versions) you will love these.  You get all these great  probiotics in one shot.  I tried the Pomegranate BlackBerry. We really want to try all the other flavors!



My son tried the Kid Shots, which is the real test for a picky child.  He to loved them.  (in fact too much he started drinking mine too. lol)  He loved the fact that they where grape flavored because it happens to be one of his favorite flavors!

Tropical Traditions Review

Tropical Traditions Review













I got the chance to review Tropical Traditions Gold Label Virgin Organic Coconut Oil and Organic Coconut Peanut Butter.  I never really heard much of them and was excited to get started.

Tropical Traditions about (lots of great videos!)



First of the Tropical Traditions Gold Label Virgin Organic Coconut Oil.  I love coconut oil and know there has been many misunderstandings about coconut oil in the past.  I was a little weary sometime back until I had  heard from several natural nutritionalist recommend coconut oil over other oils.  Click here for research on fats and oils.   I love this product because not only is it healthy but it taste great.  I use the solid coconut oil in exchange for shortening in many popular recipes.  Its great and my family loves it too.

Next I tried the Organic Coconut Peanut Butter. I am a big fan of peanut butter but I usually like Almond butter more.  I actually love this Peanut Butter more than Almond butter.  I love the coconut flavor and taste.  I couldn't get enough. I made it for picnics and lunches all spring and summer!  Its creamy Peanut Butter and a hint of sweet Coconut.  


Tropical Traditions has many great products and I recommend them.  Thank you to Tropical Traditions for bearing with me through my illness and waiting patiently for this review.  They offer many specials on there site .


This was an honest from the heart review given by me.  No monetary compensation has been given for this review.
