LEGO KidsFest Convention     Sep 13th, 2012
One word describes our experience at the LEGO KidsFest Convention in Austin, Texas two weeks ago - WOW! And yes, that's in all caps. I knew my three children would enjoy it, but my husband and I may have had just as much fun battling with our Ninjago spinners! From the moment we walked in, we were in high gear. We raced from theme to theme, from The Life of George, Duplo, Ninjago, Creation Nation,… read full review here

LEGO KidsFest Lego KidsFest Review *Austin,TX*     by Kassie Nolde - Sep 5th, 2012

My two sons have an 18 gallon bin full of Lego Duplo pieces (they'd have more if I let my husband buy more). And even I enjoy piecing together a set now and then. There were Lego scenes scattered around the event   So we were plenty excited when I… read full review here

Tea District This Is How I Relax & Spoil Myself     by Crystal Rapinchuk - Jun 11th, 2013
I’m a very busy woman (aren’t we all?!). Even just this week my husband said to me “I don’t know how you do it all and keep it all together.” I was actually really shocked by this – I know I’m busy, but I never realized that HE knew I was so busy. He actually admired my extreme ability to multitask and pull of getting (most) everything done. So sometimes m… read full review here
