We received the Mixy Squish Deluxe pack from The Horizon Group for free to play with and review. Opinions are my own.Finding things for Andy to do that do not involve a screen have proven to be… interesting. He does his schoolwork on his days at home while he is in hybrid school. He’s in school one day and not in school the next. It is on those days in between where he needs something creative to do. He also needs to be able to do it independently because I have work that needs to get done. That is why I am grateful to Horizon Group USA for adding me to their program and for sending some fantastic creative products our way. We received a package of their Mixy Squish. It is Textured Air Dry clay. This is perfect for Andy because he loves creating things and he loves clay and slime and all of those things.

I left him to his own devices and he attempted to recreate the fish from the front of the Mixy Squish guide. I think he did a fantastic job and made all those individual scales of various colors. He really enjoyed the clay, too because they had all sorts of fun add-ins to make it a more sensory experience. He’s got plenty more clay for additional projects and is looking forward to using it again. I can’t wait to see what he creates.

Excited for her Birthday Cookies

This year has brought the rise of drive by birthdays or birthday parades going by people’s homes. Well, this Saturday we are having one for Eva’s birthday. We had attended one a ways back for a friend of Andy’s and they gave out goodie bags to everyone that had a cookie inside. It was a store bought frosted cookie and was tasty enough but I got the idea to make Eva’s birthday parade special for everyone that came. We were going to get cookies made by Mrs. Packer. Mrs. Packer cookies are famous at the school events. She does incredible work and we hired her to take the playbill for Percy Jackson – The Lightning Thief the Musical and make them cookies. When I picked them up today I was thrilled with how amazing they turned out. Eva was even more excited. She was blown away by the work and the detail. I cannot wait to see what people think about them tomorrow.

We’re going to do some very special ones for Andy’s birthday parade as well.

We had one extra cookie included and we split it last night. It was amazing!. You can see more of the cookies that Mrs. Packer makes on her instagram at @dp_cookeez and the DP Cookeez Website.
