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.

Review: Air Hogs DR1 FPV Racer Drone

Air Hogs Drone

We received the fun and exciting Air Hogs FPV Race Drone for free to play with and review. Opinions are 100% our own.

So, after Sweet Suite this Summer I contacted Spinmaster about some of their great toys. I really wanted to get back to working with the Air Hogs line. They have some fun drones and RC land vehicles, too. I have a bunch of them that I love to fly. I was thrilled and surprised when I opened the box and discovered the DR1 FPV Race Drone. This little drone is a super fast powerhouse.

I’ve used it a number of times and each time I get better and better with it. I started off in the beginner mode. I was having a tough time completely controlling it and then I switched to expert mode and it worked much better for me. I was even able to snag a pretty cool video. I flew the drone and let Andrew wear the googles. He loved it! The Googles are fantastic. They allow you to see what the drone sees in real time using your phone and the FPV app.

I noticed after a few times that my rotors were picking up cat fur. So much so because of my crashes that the rotors weren’t spinning fast enough to lift up the drone. Luckily you can easily pull off the rotors and clean then off. That got the drone speeding like crazy. I was glad to find that out and make the quick fix so we could get back to flying.

Here is the official description of the DR1 FPV Race Drone: Race through the skies with the Air Hogs DR1 Official FPV Race Drone! You’re in the cockpit with First Person Viewing (FPV)! Download the free app to a smartphone, place it in the headset, and start piloting like a DR1 drone racing professional with a livestream from the camera on the drone. Auto-takeoff/land, barometric pressure height lock and beginner/advanced modes make flying effortless for any level of pilot.
