It’s here! It’s finally here! Spooky season has arrived and I could not be more excited! Halloween is a jumble of emotions for me. It terrifies me, and I hate all things scary… yet I wait for it with pure excitement every year. I don’t like dressing up, but I LOVE seeing everyone's costumes and I even help with makeup and with costume ideas… but I don’t partake in dressing up. I love trick or treating, but I don’t want to eat the candy. Ok, maybe that part isn’t true - give me ALL the Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups and Snickers bars please! I did start loving Halloween a bit more and engaged in the decorating and festivities when I had kids. Kids have a way of making things so much more special and magical. So now, Halloween is something I look forward to every single year...CONTINUE READING

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

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.

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
