Previously, Robin has reviewed the Zzopla Mini Ball, which is a smaller version of this toy, however she also got her hands on this red Zzzopla Thunder Ball (thunder being the design) which is full sized! It’s quite a bit larger and heavier than the mini, creating something that doesn’t quite adapt itself as well to being a fidget, but does have some very fun uses.

[Ad – Gifted Products] We have a tradition of playing with board games every other Monday, at our local Geek Retreat, where we find ourselves spending some wind-down after the first school and work day of the week. We’ve been exploring a bunch of the Dogman board games, so went on to play Dogman 20,000 Fleas Under the Sea as Robin is such a big Dogman fan! We often feel that getting the board games that contain these book characters really encourages reading in our household.

When it comes to beautiful cafes to eat at in Austria, but the Schonbrunn Gloriette is one that feels just breath-taking. I think, looking at the building, I didn’t realize it was even a cafe at all, but it was! This building is a massive arch, with tons of arches at either side, with a small building in the middle that holds the cafe. It overlooks a fantastic view of Vienna, which is also stunning, along with the gardens and castle in front of it. We loved the little walk from the tram to this cafe, as it was so beautiful, and such a lovely morning walk.
Once we entered the Schonbrunn Gloriette, we took a seat at a booth that had a window view of the castle below. It was simply magical. There was a person playing the piano, then playing some brace pipes afterwards, which added to this magic! Dann and I had quite a few mornings of only sweet treats, and now were interested in trying something savory, so that’s what we did! I am going to be honest. I am not sure what all of the cakes we ordered and tried were, as these were picked out by our tour guides for us to try.

[Ad – Gifted Products] Robin has been toying around with her Yoto Mini for quite some time now as she really does like having this little music device, that’s got a few games cards too, which she can take along with her anywhere. We spent a lot of time out of the house and find that Robin will pack a few toys with her for wherever we go, and if she’s in a music mood, the Yoto Mini is in tow! Recently, Yoto the Art of Loving by Olivia Dean was released, and though this was an artist that we had not heard many songs from, Robin was excited to have a new card!

While in Austria, it felt like a must to try wiener schnitzel – a traditional meal of very thinly-pounded pork, breaded and fried. Figlmüller has become the place for wiener schnitzel in Vienna, as they have been serving it there for 120 years. They also are known for their home-grown wine, but we aren’t big wine drinkers! I did have grape juice there, which was absolutely the best grape juice I have ever had.
