The way we listen to music has gone through revolutionary changes since music came into existence. We had 8-tracks, cassette tapes, compact discs, and today we enjoy the ease of music at our fingertips with digital downloads. (Shoutout to Napster for its profound impact on how we listen to music today!) Despite all of our various listening options, there is only one format that is still widely hailed by many music lovers as the “only way to listen to music” due to its optimum sound quality, and has withstood the test of time, like vinyl records have. Vinyl Records are SO superior that they have been bestowed their own national holiday! August 12th has been coined as National Vinyl Day, and in its honor, I dedicate this blog to vinyl records and all the joy it has brought music lovers for hundreds of years...CONTINUE READING

Fun fact about Marwa? Growing up, and to this day, once the Christmas season begins, I truly believe that the whole world is celebrating me. Yup.

Hello fellow puzzlers! Tell me, what’s important to you when it comes to selecting a brand to purchase puzzles from? What keeps you coming back to a specific brand? One of the most important things to me as a puzzler, that I look for in a brand, is image versatility. I want variety. Lots of options. I want all my different puzzling moods to be satisfied at any given moment. Am I asking for too much? Maybe. But do you know who doesn’t think I’m asking for too much? Roseart. Roseart is one of those brands that has an image for just about every puzzler. Because Roseart caters to my needs, wants, and desires, I have decided to dedicate this month’s blog to them.

Today is the day Star Wars fans wait for all year long…and it's finally here! May the 4th be with you. The day where we can nerd out and wave our Rebellion or Empire flags. Are you on the light side or dark side? Are you into the original Star Wars or the newer ones? Are you a fan of the Disney+ Mandalorian or Boba Fett series? Do you still call him Baby Yoda? Or are you a rule follower and call him by his name - Grogu? When it comes to Star Wars, there are no rules. Just passion and extreme fandom!...CONTINUE READING

It’s National Superhero Day and I cannot begin to explain to you what a big deal that is in my household! As a boy mom, superheroes are a big thing around here. Lucky for my boys, I grew up LOVING superheroes like He-Man, Spider-Man, Superman, Transformers… but my truest love was Batman. My mind was blown when I watched the first Batman movie in the 80’s with Michael Keaton and Jack Nicholson. On the spot I became a die-hard Batman fan, and it lives strong in me today. I have to say though, we have to collectively forget that George Clooney was Batman, ok? Ok! Let’s carry on then...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

Nothing brings me more joy than this time of year! Whether you celebrate Christmas, Kwanzaa, Hanukkah, Winter Solstice, or New Years Eve/Day, it’s all represented around the same time creating an explosion of joy for us all. But… BUT the most wonderful holiday of all is… you guessed it! My birthday! Yes, not only are we all celebrating various holidays, but we are also celebrating ME on December 24th. Am I tad delusional in thinking the world is celebrating me? Maybe. But I had found a way to make peace in my head, having a birthday on Christmas Eve and never being able to celebrate because everyone is always busy. So, I decided that all these lights, festivities, and joy on Christmas Eve is actually for me! Since I created this belief for myself at the sweet age of 9, my birthday has been magical to me ever since. So, in honor of all the holidays and my birthday, I dedicate this blog to us – Christmas and Birthday puzzles!...CONTINUE READING

Happy November puzzle friends! It is officially Marwa’s favorite time of the year! The days are thankfully shorter, the nights are wonderfully longer, the air is chillier, and all the holidays are coming at us with all their joy, beauty, magic, and sparkling lights. It is quite literally the most wonderful time of the year.
One of the holidays coming up is Christmas, and boy do I LOVE all things Christmas! One of the many things I adore about Christmas is… you guessed it! Advent calendars. Let’s do a mini crash course on the history of advent calendars. The word 'Advent' is derived from the Latin word for 'coming'. Advent calendars can be traced back to the 19th century when families would mark every day in December until Christmas Eve with a chalk line. Now that we did some learning, let’s get to the creativity I’m about to share with you...CONTINUE READING
