Guest Post: When the One You Love Loves Legos

Nov 05. 2011

The following guest post comes from Amy of Parker Haus Roles, who has compiled a fantastic Lego Gift Guide (!!!), complete with pictures and links. J and I can't WAIT until our kids are old enough to start enjoying Legos. We've been eyeing the gargantuan Star Wars sets for quite some time now, waiting for an "excuse" to get them (and you know we'll be using the girls as excuses once they start appreciating Lego!).

And, because sometimes just holding Cloudy isn't enough, we will usually squeeze Cloudy's left paw to play the theme from Star Wars. The good news is that Claire has grown to love the theme from Star Wars. :-D She will smile and clap as the majestic melody swells through the room. (I know! We couldn't be more...

Lego Words Puzzles [Clever Ads]

Sep 14. 2011

If it isn't obvious by now, I *heart* Lego. J and I can't wait until our kids are old enough for us to create Lego masterpieces with them! I also love creative Lego ads. Whether they are commissioned or unsolicited, the likes of the Shadow Ads and Star Wars Make Your Own Story series never cease to bring a smile to my face. Today, I happened upon another set that has me nodding and smiling. Created by TBWA of Costa Rica, these ads take the concept of classic words puzzle and puts a Lego twist to them. Needless to say, I am once again in awe. Via Ads of the World: Tractor, Crocodile, Spaceship....
