Happy 80th Birthday LEGO! Some of our favorite LEGO picks over the years, tied up with a bow
For all the complaining I do about the tiny bricks scattered all over the living room floor, I adore LEGO bricks for how much they fully engage my kids even more than the latest video game. So we’re delighted to you a very Happy 80th Birthday. Based on how much you are still loved, I suspect you’ll be as relevant in another eighty years as you are today.
So today, we’re rounding up some of our favorite LEGO picks over the past years. –Christina

One of our favorite LEGO picks of all time: the Handmade SWOOP Bag which makes them super easy to store and clean up.
Using LEGOs to teach math – what a clever idea! You’ll find it on our Everything LEGO Pinterest board which really pushes the brick-building envelope with LEGO shoes, LEGO wigs and even M.C. Escher art that we’ve found around the web. Whoa.
You’ll find all of our LEGO posts in one handy place when you check out our Collection page for all things LEGO.
And don’t miss this LEGO video,
which recaps the history of the company, and is also a fascinating and
poignant look at the people who created this much-loved company. Happy
Birthday LEGO!
I never thought twice about diapering my son with the eco-not-so-conscious disposable diaper. I have to admit, I thought that cloth diapers were still big cotton towels that required safety pins, manual dexterity, and a whole lot of free time.
Don’t get any sick ideas, dear readers. We’ve all seen our share of those softies and we certainly don’t need a stuffed one of THOSE laying around the house. 
When my 3 year old was a newborn we planned a trip to Europe and before I could say auf viedersehn, my brain pictured all the filthy traveling potties we would encounter while changing her diaper.
