My son loves LEGOs. Ever since he got his first box when he was 3 years old, he has been obsessed. Therefore, it makes sense that when I asked him what kind of party he wanted for his 8th birthday, he said he wanted a LEGO party. We embraced the theme, and after a few […]

It’s finally February, the month of love, or at least the month that we show our love with flowers, chocolates and gift exchange cards at school. While these are traditional types of Valentine’s Day gifts, I think it’s okay to think outside the heart-shaped box. Depending on your loved one’s love language, spending time together […]
