Welcome to Mamamia’s good news post.
The world can seem pretty bleak sometimes and we’ve decided to create a happy place where you’ll receive nothing but the awesome and lovely things people are doing from around the world.
This week, we bring you Christina Stephens. She’s an amputee and an occupational therapist. And she built herself a prosthetic leg entirely out of LEGO, just because she could. Stephens filmed herself making the LEGO leg – and the video has since been viewed over 945,000 times.
Stephens lost part of her leg earlier this year, but says that she hasn’t let the amputation destroy her sense of humour.
In an interview with KTVI-FOX 2, Christina said that she made the video because she wants “other people to be comfortable in their own skin and, if they are amputees, to be more comfortable with their limb difference.”

I also have a son Caz, who has always preferred cats to dogs. We gokt him a cat for his birthday 18 months ago and then a friend for his cat and both my kids absolutely adore them. They are beautiful companions.
This little boy has such a kind heart and seems to be part of a kind family.
Cats are so underrated and have much to teach us and it looks like this little boy is already listening.
My husband and son (and daughter) are potty about cats and so are most of the men in our family & group of friends.
I know that dogs are often presented as the ideal pet for little boys ( you never hear about "a boy and his cat" do you ?) but it takes a little more patience & sensitivity to care properly for a cat.
I hope we get to see an update one day as to the kind of man he turns out to be.
