I’ve talked before about how my 8 year old son, Zack, is utterly obsessed with LEGO. When he’s not building with them, he’s talking about what he wants to build with them or what one of his friends built with them.

And with his obsession comes my vast knowledge of the sound of a LEGO being sucked into the vacuum cleaner or the feel of a 2×4 brick underfoot in the middle of the night. I know the rest of you parents with LEGO obsessed kids can relate.

A few summers ago, I took the kids – by myself – on a 2 week road trip across the southern part of the country. It was a moment of insanity, but we all survived. Along our adventure, we picked up a LEGO magnet (like this one) from LegoLand in Florida. It sparked an idea in my mind to get some of Zack’s beloved Minifigures off of the floor.

Before we had a daughter, Tom and I didn’t really believe in the whole nature vs. nurture thing. I mean, we had a son, Zack, who enjoyed things like dump trucks and toy tools, but we just assumed that it was because we were DIYers who lived in a neighborhood that was under construction. But when Emma arrived, she threw us for a loop.

As soon as she started walking, Emma would find just about anything to turn it into a purse to carry on her shoulder – a Target shopping bag being among her favorites. It quickly progressed into shoes, tiaras, dresses and jewelry. None of it was anything we encouraged in her, so the fact that she just seemingly knew about accessorizing blew our minds.

Now that Emma is a few years older, I needed to find a place to put all of her little necklaces. My original plan was to paint a pegboard with different color stripes to match her bedroom. But then, things went off the rail a bit.
