A few months back, my Jignificant Other mentioned, once again, that my to-do collection of puzzles seemed to be growing faster than my “completed” pile. That comment prompted me to take a look through the stash, to see if maybe some could be passed along to someone else, to be returned in future. During my tour of household puzzle storage closets (yes, multiple closets), I discovered several beautiful puzzles from a brand I hadn’t tried before. So, as a fan of always trying new things, I pulled them out, put them at the top of the pile, and planned to do a write up to share with you...CONTINUE READING

One of my favorite things to do when puzzling is theme puzzling. What is that you ask? Well, let me tell you! Theme puzzling is when you match the puzzle you are doing with whatever it is you are experiencing; whether its a Christmas puzzle during Christmas time, a spooky puzzle during Halloween, a movie themed puzzle while watching the Oscars, a Taylor Swift image while jamming to pop queen herself, or doing a football puzzle while watching the Super Bowl (Go Chiefs!). This month, I chose to theme my puzzles to one of my favorite presidents to honor his birthday… Abraham Lincoln!...CONTINUE READING

Happy Lunar New Year! The Lunar New Year celebrates the first new moon in the lunisolar calendar, which is based on the phases of the moon and the position of the Sun. We have explored the Lunar New Year on the blog before, so I wanted to take a slightly different approach and focus on, well, the moon!...CONTINUE READING

Love is in the air and it’s time to celebrate Valentine’s Day - originally a pagan Roman fertility festival before Pope Gelasius appropriated it back in 500 AD; or a holiday that honors all forms of love (friends, family and self) such as Quirkyalone Day, also on February 14th; or Singles Awareness Day on February 15th...CONTINUE READING

According to MoneyGeek the average date night in America, for dinner and a movie, costs around $159. If you were to add flowers, a babysitter, drinks, or other stops for your date, we’re talking closer to $300 for a night with your significant other. While a night out is a nice treat, it can be an expensive item to factor into your budget. One of me and my husband’s favorite date night ideas is Date Night – Game Night. We have always loved playing board, card & video games together. The concept for this date is simple. One of us picks out a couple games (could be ones we already own, or we may buy a new one). Then we add some snacks or pop in a frozen pizza and boom - we have a fun and inexpensive night in...CONTINUE READING

Hello puzzle lovers! I’m back with some beautiful colorful puzzles by some more of my favorite puzzle artists! There is something about a collection of art supplies that grabs my eye. The gradients are just so satisfying to admire and to puzzle. And so I have found myself with a collection of art supplies puzzles to be envied. Most of the art supplies that are featured in this blog are available for purchase from the store, but some are older and I wanted to include them in the theme...CONTINUE READING

Why did the chicken cross the road?
It’s a classic. The answer varies depending on who you ask, though my dad always told me, “to get to the other side!” Sounds like a dad joke, right? And, being a bit grayer on top, and having a few years under my belt (or slightly over my belt, as things now seem to settle in my midsection), dad jokes definitely tickle my funny bone like they never did in the past.
“Dad, will you make me a sandwich?”
“Abracadabra! You’re a sandwich!”
Oh man, I crack me up...CONTINUE READING

Today is all about Ravensburger- a tried and true puzzle brand. Probably THE puzzle brand that pops into people’s minds when puzzles are brought up. And for a very good reason too! With the influx of new puzzle brands Covid brought to us, you don’t have to look very far to find high quality puzzles with unique artwork anymore, but there is something about Ravensburger puzzles that just make them the GOAT. If I haven’t done a Ravensburger puzzle in a while, it’s just a sigh of relief when I finally do, like I’m returning home after a long hard day of work!...CONTINUE READING
