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
Did you stop by the site this morning? If you did, you may have run across a GoDaddy “domain expired” message. We let our domain name lapse around here, by mistake of course… There’s been a lot of this going around this week: I usually don’t write about things that are too personal on The Family
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
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

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
As it turns out, the list of things I’ve been waiting on buying until VIP Double Points came back around was only slightly different from what I walked out with from the LEGO store. We ended buying: LEGO Painting Easter Eggs (40121) – two as stated… LEGO Minifigure Ice Lollipop Popsicle Mould Mold Tray – planning on using these later
If you haven’t gotten your hands on a March LEGO calendar, you may not be aware that today starts double LEGO points for VIP members through the 29th. We hit our spending limit with our last big blast on the 1st of the year, but I’ve been waiting for one of these events so I
When we went to this month’s mini build, we were invited to go to the Monthly LEGO Club Meeting. We’ve never been, so we thought “why not?” and signed up. Since I’ve never been to a club meeting, I can’t tell you what *normally* happens. For this one though, it consisted of a scavenger hunt
