When I picked up the two boxes of LEGO bricks for Mr. Family Brick’s birthday, we realized we needed a better system to organize our collection. So at 10pm on a Sunday night, we decided to re-organize. Our initial collection was sorted by color. All the blues with blues, all the greens with greens, etc…
I mentioned a few posts ago I received the LEGO Research Institute on Shop@Home for my birthday. The other day, I finally got a chance to build it out. If you haven’t seen the set up close, here are a few photos of the builds: I liked that the booklet came with English, Spanish and French explanations combined. Made
I’m a little ashamed to say it, but I really like LEGO Friends. Set aside all the stereotypical girlie stuff… all the hair brushes, lipsticks, makeup mirrors, etc… and they’re just plain fun. What I love best about them is they add a new array of bright and bold colors to the traditional LEGO bricks.

Last night, I decided to take The Little Brick to the LEGO store for the monthly store build. This month, it was the cutest mini racing plane. I was *sure* she would love it. I was really impressed with her building skills. She easily and quickly managed to build the model without major intervention from Mr.
We were in the LEGO store last weekend when we ran across the new advent calendars for 2014. Mr. Family Brick and I have been very excited about buying the City advent calendar, since we’re working on a Christmas village for under the tree. Last year we decided to skip buying any of them all together… and
Because everyone likes to know who’s reading their blog posts, I troll the referrers list in my blog stats. Last night while quickly checking, I found my planetary exploration post was referenced in a feminist argument on the EuroBricks forum. I’m not so much concerned about the gender battleground issue, but I won’t lie that I do like
I’m always looking for a good deal on LEGO sets, although I rarely buy something unless it’s at the local LEGO store.
