The Adventures of Lois and Lily
I’d like to introduce you to Lois and Lily, two adventure-loving lesbian moms—who also happen to be Lego Minifigs. If only this were a real Lego play set. People seemed to like the image of the marrying Minifig moms I posted on Facebook just after the U.S. Supreme Court DOMA ruling, so I’ve brought them
Lego Lesbians and a Cryo Tank
One in an occasional series of Lego lesbian mom tableaus. Have a funny cryo tank story? (I know some of you do.) Leave a comment or a link to your post about it!
Did Your Kids Get Holiday Presents You Regret?
Now that we’ve all had a little time to recover from the holidays, let me ask: Which of your children’s holiday presents are you most glad they got? Are there any you regret? And do they feel differently? Speaking for myself, I have no regrets. We seem to have progressed past the age when he
“She Got Me Pregnant”: Episode 115
This week, Helen and I talk about recent excursions with our son, including a kid-friendly art museum and a Lego extravaganza—but we’re bummed we didn’t get to go learn about gay pilgrims.

Harry Potter Lego Sets to Include Suspiciously Short-Haired Quidditch Coach
With Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe making the cover story of Out magazine, I’d be thinking about Harry even if I wasn’t in the middle of reading the series with my son and playing the new Lego Harry Potter Wii game. (And I’m not the only queer parent to be doing so, as Paige Schilt’s
Legos and Marriage Equality
Long-time readers know we’re nutty about Legos here at the house of Mombian. I was intrigued, therefore, by an article in The Morning News (via Make) in which author Giles Turnbull discusses Lego terminology. Different families, it seems, have different names for each of the little pieces, usually driven by what the children call them.
“She Got Me Pregnant”: Episode 76
Helen and I explore the importance of imagination, with a look at how modern media and toys stifle kids’ creativity and what parents can do to change this. Are Lego bricks a force for good, or have they gone downhill since the time of our childhood? Helen also demonstrates a whirling homemade toy that could
Inauguration in Legos
We love us some Legos here at the Mombian household, and have played with little else since our son received a few new sets over the holidays. Still, I am humbled by the Legoland California recreation of President Obama’s Inauguration. I didn’t spot a little (B)Rick Warren, but I may go build one myself and
Beijing Olympics in Legos
My love of both Legos and the Olympicsis well documented. My son is also obsessed with the former and learning to love the latter. I was thrilled, therefore, to see this astounding recreation of the Beijing Olympic facilities in Legos, including the Bird’s Nest, the Water Cube, the beach volleyball court, the equestrian arena, and
