Did you notice something new around here? That’s right, we have a whole new logo and look! Since we’re called The Family Brick, we thought it would be a good idea to have a logo that showed our whole family. We’re short a furry friend, but we just recently added him to the fold. Maybe

I woke up this morning to see that Groupon Atlanta has a deal for Celebricktion tickets at almost half price. If you’ve never heard of Celebricktion, here’s a quick clip from the Groupon Atlanta listing: What services does your business offer
I cheated on LEGO… with a Mega Bloks Minion bag…
A few weekends ago was my birthday. Among the tons of candy gifted me (because I love candy a lot) and the various other trinkets, I found myself staring a Mega Blok’s Minions bag. It’s no surprise. You already know I love me some LEGO minions. Someone obviously had to get me this as a
We listed ladders, fences and palm trees, oh my!
We’ve been busy this weekend. Lots of listings on eBay for ladders, fences and palm trees, oh my! We took a break from our after hours sorting job to do some listings this week. Well, I listed while my husband did some building, but either way, it was a well needed break from the mounds
Starting our LEGO Winter Village Setup
Earlier this year we worked hard on our LEGO Winter Village setup, so I thought I’d show you guys photos of how we started the project. After last Christmas, we realized we needed more space to display our LEGO winter village pieces. The table under the tree just didn’t cut it for so many
Oops! Don’t mind our hiccup…

About The Family Brick
Have you noticed we’ve been blogging about LEGO for one year now? We’ve passed what I like to call the equivalent of the “7 year hump” of marriage in blog terms…and that’s pretty cool! If you noticed a lack of personal details on this blog, it’s been by design. I had no intentions of sharing
Our “brick”-tastic LEGO Memorial Day weekend…
Hope you had a great Memorial Day weekend! We spent ours contemplating our past and present friends who serve(d) and sorting 400+ pounds of LEGO bricks! We hadn’t planned to spend our weekend knee deep in storage tubs. However, we met another eBay seller, got to talking and then ended up bringing his bins home
To buy or not to buy LEGO Stephanie’s Beach House
I have this conversation a lot when I’m with my husband and I run into the LEGO Stephanie’s Beach House set… Me: I really like the set. Him: Yea? Me: Yes. That yellow color calls to me. Him: So buy it. Me: I can’t. Him: Why not? Me: Because I’m really annoyed LEGO used those
Buying LEGO Sets at Discount Prices
We’re not rich. We live month to month like most other Americans. Mr. Family Brick works as an installer for a well known franchise and my pay-the-bills business has always run in “feast or famine” mode. Right now, we’re in the “famine” while I work on redirecting the focus of the company. So you could say
