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
Now that taxes are done, I’ve had some time to look at the growing stack of polybags collecting in my office these past few months. We don’t always open all LEGO sets in our house (I know, I know… sacrilege!) So what we don’t use, we put on eBay for other collectors. Also, we don’t always
Last week, I showed you the entry Mr. Family Brick built for the Complete the Room Challenge at Modulars by Kristel. Today, I want to share the other entry made for the challenge… the baby room! The first build I created was the crib using fence pieces and propped them up on faucets. Hard to
According to The Brick Fan, LEGO is re-releasing the LEGO Green Grocer and the LEGO Cafe Corner modular buildings in a new “Revival” theme series! I so wish that were true… But it’s good to know I wasn’t the only one who got caught up in an April Fool’s joke! There were some funny
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
Remember the Complete the Room Modular Challenge I mentioned earlier this month? Time is finally coming to a close and we’ve submitted our entries! We brainstormed together what ideas we wanted to submit and as it turned out, we each ended up building one idea individually. We had a few favorite ideas like a house rave
Don’t hate me, but… I’m not a fan of Adventure Time. Something about the weird characters just doesn’t call my attention… which is why you might find the next sentence I write strange… I really like these brick built Adventure Time figures. I know… I’m just as surprised as you. I’m generally not a fan
I wasn’t planning on posting today, but when I was wandering around the web, I ran across the “Leave it to the professionals” post on The Brothers Brick. The blog post showcases a build combining two of Mr. Family Bricks favorite things: Wile E. Coyote and Boba Fett. This awesome vignette was created by Letranger
Do you remember seeing the LEGO Minecraft Tree in one of my photos a few weeks back when I wrote about The Little Brick’s first LEGO Club Meeting? Secretly infatuated with the chunky build and wanting to study it more, I held it for a few minutes, but as The Little Brick required assistance, I
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
