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

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
So, I’ve been a bit obsessed since I saw the LEGO Cinderella Glass Slipper video on the LEGO Facebook feed a few weeks ago. I, like many other people, went straight to the web to see if there were instructions on how to make the shoe. Sadly, there are none. I made the mistake of
The Modulars by Kristel blog keeps popping up on my Google Reader as a suggestion and last month, I saw they are running a Complete The Room modular challenge. Since we happen to have a Pet Shop build, I thought it would be fun for us to furnish the room! What’s more, there are even prizes!
If you haven’t been to a LEGO store since March 1st, you may have missed the launch of the new LEGO Elves line. I got a chance to look at them on Tuesday when we stopped by the store for the March monthly minibuild. The colors are calling my name… While I have not been paying
