I've always encouraged my sons to use their imaginations and creativity when it comes to any project that they tackle or complete. That's probably why I have always loved when they play with building blocks or LEGO. From the moment that they hold their first block and envision what they are going to create, they embark on a journey of self-expression. The best part is that my husband and I enjoy building with them and we often spend time as a family using our imaginations together. It's the perfect opportunity to spend quality time together and to bounce ideas off one another. We love seeing the smiles on our boys' faces when they are driven by inspiration and determined to bring their ideas to life.

We Visited Legoland Discovery Center! @LDCWestchester #LegolandNYC #Ad
*I participated in this campaign on behalf of Legoland Discovery Centers US. I received a promotional item to facilitate this review and as a thank you item for participating. All opinions are my own. When I was a little girl, my younger brother had so much Lego® that we used to build magnificent structures and pretend play for hours on end. There are just so many great memories that I associate with these building blocks that revolve around family and togetherness. This past Easter weekend, my husband and I decided that we wanted to plan a fun family outing after attending mass in the morning. Sunday is the day that we are both off from work and our boys are off from school and it is important to be able to spend quality time together. Our destination of choice was the Legoland Discovery Center in Westchester, NY within the Ridge Hill shopping district. Both of our boys are huge Lego® fans and have used them since they were toddlers to spend … [Read more...]
