I’m an Official Legoland Blogger!

Legolander_logo_2016_FINAL-03

It’s always great to start off the week with some wonderful news:  I’ve just become an official Legoland blogger!  I posted the badge last week, but I thought I would share the news as a post because there will definitely be an increase of Lego and Legoland posts due to my involvement with them.  I’m pretty sure my family would agree that this is awesome news since we are avid collectors and builders of the famous interlocking brick system.  We are literally a hop, skip and a car ride away from the family theme park in Carlsbad, so stay tuned as I share all of the wonderful events and happenings at Legoland!

Wanted: Les Petits Joueurs Bags & Accessories

Alex Black Widow

I’ve been a lover of Lego since my childhood.  My mother-in-law has been collecting Lego sets for our son since he was born.  Now that Dominic is five, his love for Lego has grown exponentially, especially since The Lego Movie has been out (we’ve seen it twice, and we are planning a trip to LEGOLAND in the near future).  Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine Lego would become a fashionable part of my life, until now.  I follow eclectic fashion blogger, Georgiana Boboc, (of Vintage Traffic) on Instagram, and she posted an amazing purse:  a shoulder bag with the word “Love” emblazoned in Lego!  Designed by Maria Sole Cecchi, the Les Petits Joueurs collection (translation Little Player) is completely fun and I am coveting everything they have (especially the Janis Piano clutch in glitter calf leather and the Alex Mondrian).  Someday, I hope to add a purse or two from this creative collection to my own!

Happy 5th Birthday Dominic!

Lego boyToday is the 5th birthday of our fantastically awesome son, Dominic.  We have a small celebration at home planned with immediate family and a Spongebob Squarepants cake.  This weekend, we’re planning a day at Legoland with his cousin, Mei-Lin, weather permitting.  The contingency plan is a day at the mall with lunch at John’s Incredible Pizza Company followed by “The Lego Movie” (which will be the second time for everyone). As you can tell, Lego is definitely the theme, and Dominic just can’t get enough.  You can follow our adventures on Instagram to see where the weekend takes us.

Happy Birthday Dominic, we love you very much!
