Eva Earned Her Green Belt ...

Eva Earned Her Green Belt

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #00997

Eva has been working really hard in Krav Maga. Today she received her green belt. This is the last belt in the three month rotation. When she earns her brown belt she starts the six month rotation. I’ve seen her grow in her skill and confidence so much in the past year. She’s made friends in her classes. This Summer Eva went to morning classes with me and worked with the daughter of one of the women in my class. They became friends and do a great job working with each other. Her friend also pushes her to work harder in the class and you can see how much she has improved. She is very committed to her training and it shows. She’s always happy on Krav days and says that the dojo is her favorite place to be. She’s even gotten comfortable with her instructor’s humor. She was very intimidated at first but is no longer as timid. She gets to help demonstrate once in a while and no longer gets totally embarrassed about it. I am so excited to see how far she goes with this!

Review: Lumibricks Izakaya Building ...

The folks from Lumibricks sent me their latest building set, the Izakaya for free to build and review. Opinions are 100% my own. I've built a few sets from Lumibricks (formerly FunWhole) in the past and they are really fun and interesting. The photo above is of the Izakaya and also The Apartment. they are both part of a Cyberpunk theme called Neoncity. At this time there are also two additional buildings that you can build and add to this whole theme, the Game Stack and the Floating Train Station. The great things about these sets is that they light up. As you build you are also adding lights and wires and ways to illuminate the amazing build. Once you're done building you fire up some power and the lights blaze up. With Neoncity sets you get some incredible Nenon effects light signs and even neon tube lights. That is one of the coolest things about these sets is how the lights are incorporated into the build. Some very innovative bricks were made in order to thread the wiring...

Christmas Tree Is Up ...

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02510 Yesterday we put up the trees and today we decided to decorate the tree after dinner. Our tree is now mostly our family photo ornaments. We have a bunch of ornaments but with over 20 years of family photo ornaments it look like the predominant ornament type that we'll see. We did get a 2025 Hallmark one as well and I have to select this year's photo. 

2025 Family Ornament ...

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02515 We put our tree up the other day and I had already bought the 2025 Hallmark Keepsake ornament for our yearly family photo ornament. I love these ornaments on the tree. We have them from 2005 to now.
