Role models are important. Thank you @lego for su Role models are important.

Thank you @lego for such an inspiring gift-with-purchase to celebrate #internationalwomensday 2021.

Amelia Earhart embodies #ChooseToChallenge, the theme of #iwd2021 by proving that women can fly high, and break down barriers.

This is set is a great educational tool, fantastic display piece and an all-around poignant celebration of Amelia Earhart'a achievements as an aviation pioneer.
Its quite rare for a @LEGO set to evoke so much no Its quite rare for a @LEGO set to evoke so much nostalgia, joy and whimsy but the #LEGOIdeas 21326 Winnie The Pooh set never misses a beat. 🍯 

From the highly detailed minifigures which bring AA Milne's characters to life, to the lush (yet deceptively advanced!) Oak Tree design, this set has plenty to love for @disney fans, Winnie the Pooh fans, and parents who want a tactile way of introducing Pooh stories to their kids through play. 

The playful, joyful and nostalgic essence of Winnie the Pooh is celebrated in stunning fashion – not just by the incredible cast of minifigures and the lengths that LEGO have gone to capture their likeness, but in the overall build.

LEGO have blended nostalgia, a fun building experience and playfulness in this set unlike any other before.

Hit the link in bio to see more photos and read my full review! The set releases on 18 March for LEGO VIPs, ahead of a 1 April global launch. 

Thanks @LEGO for sending this early review set! 💛

Review of the new #LEGOIdeas Winnie the Pooh set coming soon!

Spoiler warning: it's sensational
Pack your walking stick because we're going on an Pack your walking stick because we're going on an adventure to explore the LEGO Hundred Acre Wood with @lego LEGO 21326 Winnie the Pooh!

To celebrate its 95th anniversary, Winnie the Pooh & friends will make their LEGO debut in this 1,265-piece set that will retail for US$99.99 / AU$159.99 / £89.99.

The set's release date is 18 March 2021 for LEGO VIP members, and 1 April 2021 for a wider release and will be available on LEGO.com or your local LEGO Store. 

It's pretty clear that LEGO have yet another winner on their hands with Winnie the Pooh. An eternal favourite of any generation, Winnie the Pooh's carefree, joyous nature is just the antidote we need in these troubling times, and I'm so glad that LEGO have done a terrific job with this set. 

Stay tuned for my full review tomorrow!
8 years ago, our lives changed forever as we embar 8 years ago, our lives changed forever as we embarked on this crazy adventure as husband and wife!

Last year was definitely the most unprecedented™ one yet, but one that I will treasure forever.

It was an incredibly challenging year, having had to navigate through multiple job changes, yet you have never once wavered with your support and faith that I would find my feet eventually.

I might have caused some sleepless nights when work was uncertain, yet you continued to be a pillar of strength to our family, and by God's eternal grace, we always seem to come out on top. 

Working from home has been truly enjoyable, especially now that you get a glimpse into the banality of work life, Zoom calls, meetings that could be emails, corporate jargon and why there must always at least 2 mugs on my desk at all times.

Thanks for taking on a second job as WFH Office Manager, tolerating my Amazon addiction and sticking around in spite of my crippling caffeine addiction.

Happy anniversary, love and here's to many more happy years ❤️

January was a massive month, so I decided to finally take the MF plunge.
Today is "Chap Goh Meh" or the Lantern Festival, t Today is "Chap Goh Meh" or the Lantern Festival, the final day of Chinese New Year. 🏮

It's a bit of a strange one this year, with the pandemic throwing plans into disarray, and my family being further away than usual, so celebrations were a little different in 2021.

Thank you @LEGO for an excellent range of Chinese Traditional Festival sets. 🙏

@little.ong (and myself) really loved the Duplo Happy Childhood Moments set, and I especially enjoyed the new dumplings element! 🥟

Spring Lantern Festival is one of the best LEGO sets I've had the pleasure of building, and I also appreciated the foray into the mythological origins of Lunar New Year with Story of Nian. 🧨🧧🎆

More sets that celebrate the rich cultural diversity of the world, please! 🌏
