Hello! How is everyone? I swear, I'm so exhausted. Had family in town & stayed up too late. You know how that goes I'm sure.
Well, I've been meaning to post about this event I attended on May 17th with LEGO friends & the Novogratz here in NYC. I ended up taking my NEW assistant with me, whom I hired a couple days prior, what a great first day of work no?! It was all about how to unleash a child's creativity. Cortney & Robert as well as a few others spoke about how a room DESIGN can inspire a child's imagination, and I very much believe this is true. In fact we all agreed that EVERY child should be engaged in the home's design in some way or another.

Lego friends explained how boys like to play outside of what they build & how little girls prefer to explore the inside of the home. Coming from a family with both brother & sisters, I can say this is pretty ACCURATE. I loved decorating the inside of the doll house while my brother loved taking action figures & so on & then build forts around it!
They also went on to explain how in a survey they performed, 71% of parents said that the interiors of the home did make a difference in the creative development of the child. Robert & Cortney also mentioned how they believe art should play a big role in EVERY room of the home. Basically ending it with saying, more art, less toys. I love this concept, I find toys to be a waste of space & money and unless it will stimulate the child's brain somehow, it's pretty much USELESS. Of course, that is my opinion...
On another note, while I was there, I chatted with Robert & Cortney. They are super relaxed and down to earth people - Cortney told me to roam around her home & show myself around...
I gave Tallulah Novogratz the gold CROSS bracelet I was wearing, she loved it. Those are the same ones that will soon be on sale on Made By Girl! Hope you enjoy this post!
