If you’re lucky and have a spare moment, check out what we’ve found fascinating around the internet lately.

11 Awesome Facts about Lego #7 is a game changer: Lego Duplo bricks (the large ones for little kids) can connect with regular Lego bricks. We’d also like to add fact #12: an inexplicable amount of pain comes from stepping on a Lego.

New Car Invention designed to save lives to children left in hot cars.

Hot topic for dinner with the kids: New Dinosaur just discovered by paleontologists affectionately named the chicken from hell.

It’s safe to say, we’re more excited than the kids for the Disney Bears movie to come out.

Hello, I’m Eliza. I founded MiniBury in 2012 because I had a hunch that I wasn't the only parent in Addison County missing fun family friendly events. I love the challenge of finding and sharing information about our community to other parents.
