Have you ever needed to keep your kids occupied for a long drive in the car? Or maybe you want to give them something to do when attending meetings away from home? We’d been struggling during some of our church meetings with keeping our daughter occupied rather than running around the chapel and nothing I brought kept her interested more than a few minutes, so I knew I needed to come up with something that would work!

DIY Lego Travel Box! This is a great craft for kids and parents to make! Easy and fun! #crafts #kidcrafts #craftsforkids

I remembered when we went to Rexburg, Idaho last year to see the Total Solar Eclipse and that she brought along some of her Duplos in her small little purse and she played with those for hours! Even when we got stuck for almost 10 hours in the traffic of everyone leaving to go home! An idea struck and I made a Lego Travel Box that we can bring along with us in the car and at church (and you may be asking if it’s too loud at church but actually it’s quite quiet since she doesn’t need to dump them out).

Since I loved my Lego Travel Box so much, I wanted to share with you how to make it yourselves! It’s really SO easy! You could have your kid help you make it or if they’re older, they could make it themselves! Just remember to be safe with scissors. We always teach our daughter that sharp scissors are for adult or parental supervision.

Now let’s get started: 

Supplies

You need to first gather your supplies. You’ll need 4 things:

  • Pencil Box (one with a fairly flat top)
  • Toy Block Tape with 2 studs (you can choose any colors, I got the blue and green for land and sea)
  • scissors
  • Legos (Use your own or we really like the variety sets that aren’t specifically themed)

Step 1

Get your Toy Block Tape and open them up. You’ll then get your scissors and cut your strips to the correct size. For the pencil box that I got, it was 10 studs in length per strip. 

 

I then cut 5 strips per color so I had 10 strips in total. Set aside the leftover Toy Block Tape

 

Step 2

Grab your pencil box and have it right side up and closed. Grab your first strip and peel the backing off so you can expose the sticky strip on the back. 

I admittedly had a tough time getting the backing off. This was seriously the hardest part for me and it wasn’t that hard! I ended up needing to use a Xacto knife to get between the backing and the sticky part to peel a little bit of the backing off before I could peel it on my own. You might not have as hard of a time as I did, but if you need to do this, make sure you don’t let your kid use the knife themselves or use something a bit more kid-friendly. 

Step 3

After you’ve got the backing off of your first strip, carefully place the strip on the top of the pencil box. I started on one side so I knew I’d have enough room for all the other strips I had cut out.

When you’ve got your first strip done, do the next one, repeating until all of the strips are on top of the lego box while making sure the studs all line up. 

Step 4

Open up your pencil box. Grab your Legos and put them inside the toy box! When your kids want to play, they can just open up their new Lego Travel Box and put the blocks on top of the play area on top of the box. What’s great is they can even turn the box upside down (while closed) and they shouldn’t fall off!

Step 5

HAVE FUN! This is really the most fun part of the Lego Travel Box and the most important step! 

We absolutely love our DIY Lego Travel Box and it’s often asked for in our house. It’s easy to make (even kids can make it themselves!) and take around, allowing your kids imagination to keep them occupied for hours on end!

As the year is coming to an end, I wanted to highl As the year is coming to an end, I wanted to highlight something I’m very proud of. 

You see, I used to be an avid reader. I read ALL the time. Like the kid who would stay up way past her bedtime and being a book wherever I went sort of thing. 

One of the realizations for me that I was suffering from anxiety and depression was that I barely read anymore. Like I could count on one hand usually how many books I’d read in a year. And this devastated me because it was and is something I love. 

This year, like others, I made the goal to read more. Didn’t matter what kinds of books or if it was fanfiction. I knew I just needed to read. I got a kindle paperwhite and that plus my AirPods that I got (I count listening as reading because sometimes that’s all I can do), and my meds, helped me to do more. 

When I got this notebook a few months ago, I listed what I’d read and the sight of it makes me so happy to look at. They’re not in chronological order but for next year I will do it that way. 

A lot of these books too have been advanced readers copies! And that’s been really fun to read and review those and I’ll continue to do so.

I tried speaking to her in French but she was stubborn and wanted to speak what she wanted to speak 😹 I can’t complain though because the fact she’s learning an Uber complicated language like Korean makes me proud!

Ten years ago today I married my best friend. I kn Ten years ago today I married my best friend. I know that’s cliche to say but he is my person. He is my positive when I can only think of the negatives in my life. He makes me laugh (and I thankfully make him laugh too!) and I love the family we have created. Even though times are tough and we’ve been hit by many imperial cruisers in our life, we make it through.

Today was my birthday. 33! Sadly I did not get to Today was my birthday. 33! Sadly I did not get to fulfill my dream of going to Club 33 for my birthday but I did order cheesecake from @juniorscheesecake through @goldbelly and it was divine! My brother @barney_bro is in the pic with me because his birthday is 2 days after mine. For basically our whole lives we’ve always celebrated together and I am so glad we did it (safely) this year too! He’s the best birthday buddy ❤️

Saturday game night is brought to you by @talkboxm Saturday game night is brought to you by @talkboxmom ❤️ practicing how to say 배고파 (I’m hungry) and similar phrases in Korean. A year ago I never thought I’d be learning Korean, but that’s what Marvel wanted to learn 😹. 

Honestly it’s been a lot of fun and a good challenge for us as a family. We have really fallen in love with Korean (and Korean BBQ lol). 

I’m thinking next year of adding another language. Probably French since it’s one I already know a lot of! 

What language would you like to learn if you could? I really like using talkbox.mom because we use phrases we use at home already so we substitute them in. As such, I’m excited to announce too that we’re brand ambassadors for talkbox.mom! 🥳❤️🥰

Check out talkbox.mom (link in my bio, and hey it would be a good Christmas gift!). I’ve even got some discount codes for you. Use Jessica20 for $20 off a box+book bundle and Jessica5 for $5 off a phrasebook.

My husband and I dropped our ballots off yesterday My husband and I dropped our ballots off yesterday. Our state has done mail in voting for years now and it’s the best. I’m able to take my time and look up the candidates and measures in real time. It also gave us an opportunity to explain to Ms. Marvel why voting is important. (Also I love my shirt so much).
