When it comes to Lego vs. K’nex, I have always been a K’nex kid. I received a huge tub for Christmas one year and loved them. The creative freedom that came with K’nex was so much more extensive than the…
As sad as it sounds, I have truly learned more during this summer internship than I ever have in a classroom setting. My boss at Vintage Tub & Bath, is very good at making time to sit down with me…
