In this episode of Untidy, Hannah and Matilda return from the structural wilderness of the holidays to the regimented back-to-school routine. They take on a mother–daughter LEGO® challenge to build their animal besties and discover the evolving magic of going on a creative adventure with their girls.

There are the dolphins, orcas, and puppies they expected, and then the less-anticipated freestyle creations, inter-generational competition, and a delightfully quiet long tail of small-human engineering in the afterglow.

Matilda talks a big game with a recipe invention she claims are the best blueberry muffins she’s ever made. (The recipe is below, as promised – tell us if you agree.)

Plus, the girls unpack the risk differential between parents, which becomes all too real for Matty during an incident at the airport.

Finally – keep a close eye on Instagram… there’s a humdinger of a giveaway coming your way that you will not want to miss.

This episode has been proudly brought to you by the LEGO® Group. SHE BUILT THAT – LEGO sets for creative storytellers.
