Maybe there’s a drawbridge, a…

  • Making Room for the Next Adventure

    One of the hardest parts of LEGO building isn’t putting the pieces together. It’s deciding when to let them come apart. It usually starts with a single set.

    One thing my wife and I learned as parents of four kids is that every child is different—and every combination of kids is different, too. There was a period when our four seemed to divide naturally into two sets of best friends. At other times, who got along best seemed to depend on the day…

  • The Mess Isn’t the Enemy

    Have you ever baked a pie from scratch? You pull out the flour, shortening, a pinch of salt, and a little water to make the crust. Then there’s the filling—maybe apples, sugar, cinnamon, and spices. Maybe it’s pumpkin. Maybe it’s chocolate pudding and whipped topping for a mousse pie. Now imagine someone walks into the…
