Because I'm just a kid at heart and legos are such a good hyper fixation for stress! I recently got back into legos as a 34 year old mama and it’s been my favorite things to unwind at night. I even bought a Lego table (linked) and that’s been so helpful for the larger builds!
My main tip with new Lego builders is to download the Lego builder app(apple) I’m not sure if google play has the app. It makes it so much easier for color matching and to be able to turn the picture at any angle so you don’t misplace a Lego.
Make sure to KEEP all your Lego remover tools. I never thought I would use them and have needed them so many times!
Have fun building ❤️

Something most people don't know about me is that I'm a huge art nerd. I have a small room in my house that we call “the Gallery” because it's literally just walls for artwork that I try to rotate on a regular basis.
