We received a special Smooshy Mushy Series 1 Influencer Pack for free to review and unbox. Opinions are our own.

Smooshy Mushy are a bit of a rage right now. I see on YouTube dozens of people who are doing unboxings and hundreds of thousands of views on their videos. Not so much with us, I just posted the video below, but maybe, who knows. We received the package late at night on Tuesday or Wednesday. I opened it and was really impressed by the whole thing and how it was presented. I was actually asked if I would review series two of the toys and then told that to get familiar with the series I was also getting a box for Series 1. Series 1 is the box that we got first and I showed it to Eva and she flipped. she couldn’t wait to open it up. These are adorable toys and they are scented, too. I don’t much care for the scent myself but the kids seemed to really enjoy it. You can see what they thought in the video below.

Less than a week ago I was posting about LightSeekers. I had received a couple of the new smart action figures; Boulder and Zyrus. Then I saw a sale on Amazon.com and there were some accessories and some trading card packs that I was interested in. So I picked up a few of them including the Stormshell shield for the Water characters. Any LightSeeker can use this shield but if it is aligned to the correct character and element then it works better.

I am intrigued by the LightSeeker Card game and have a number of the start packs. I have the water, tech. mountain and dread is coming. I would like to try and play the game with Eva sometime when we have time. I think she would like it and would be good at it. These card games are really helpful in learning how to make quick decisions based on math and also how to plan things out.

I also have a couple of packs of Magic the gathering cards that I got at HASCON that I’ve been meaning to crack open and play with the kids, too. Don’t even get me started about the Dungeons and Dragons Starter pack that I received and have yet to use. Where is the time for all these games?

Speaking of toys and games, we made our annual donation to Christmas is for kids on Monday night. One of the late additions to the donation was from MEGA CONSTRUX & MEGA BLOKS. They sent over some great sets for American Girl, Wellie Wishers and Barbie Dreamtopia. I thought that Eva would have wanted the American Girl sets but she decided that she’d rather they be donated so we did a video talking about each set and then added them to the donation. Here is that video.
