Discovering new snacks with the Sakuraco Snack Box

[Ad- gifted product] If you are a fan of snacks, there are a ton of different snack boxes that you can explore!

Good Face Bad Face requires a Poker Face

[Ad- gifted product] Our bi-weekly, family board game session, after school, at Geek Retreat featured Good Face Bad Face this time!

[Ad- gifted product] Robin and Amelia have been very interested in magic tricks since seeing a magician at Blog On earlier this year. Since then, we have been trying out various magic kits including the Dynamic Coins from Marvin’s Magic. Marvin’s Magic has a fantastic app that you can use to teach you the tricks in the various kits you are looking to play with, and also gives you a free trick library full of magic you can do with everyday objects. As Robin doesn’t really like reading and following directions like that, having a video option is a really big help!

A Day Out at London MCM Comic Con x EGX

[Ad- gifted experience] We always go to MCM Comic Con London as it’s just on our doorstep and they invite us often. This year, they combined with EGX, another event that Dann and I attend each year for work, so we were interested to see exactly how this went. EGX is a gaming event, normally just showcasing a bunch of games, and MCM Comic Con is sort of like a big store – full of geeky and nerd items, along with a lot of cosplayers.
