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
I spent this weekend at WordCamp (a conference for WordPress enthusiasts), so Mr. Family Brick took a day off from work to take care of The Little Brick on Saturday. As it turns out, it was also one of the LEGO Club Meeting days. Instead of taking her the weekend before, I rescheduled her for

One of the things that really fuels our visits to the LEGO stores is the LEGO Winter Village sets. When we saw the LEGO Creator Winter Village Market and the LEGO Creator Winter Village Cottage a few years ago, we fell in love. Always wanting to build a Christmas village as part of our holiday
I had big plans to blog this holiday season. Wanted to share our winter village setup and what LEGO events we attended, but family comes first. This blog is called “The Family Brick” after all, and I wanted to make sure I attended to family. So you may get a flurry of Christmas related blog
We’re cheaters. We’ve been cheating on our local LEGO store. We’ve been spending the week in Florida with family… and making regular visits to the LEGO store in Downtown Disney. Our initial visit wasn’t just to go to the store, but also to celebrate the Little Brick’s birthday! Our brick off the old block (hah – I’m so
For my readers around the world who have never seen a Brick Wall, may I present the LEGO Brick Wall from the North Point Mall store: We love going to the store to browse the Brick Wall and play with all the bricks. It feels a little like finding a cave full of treasure and
