Rice Krispies were a staple of my morning breakfast routine growing up. As I mentioned in the recent Pretty Bird! post, I was not allowed to have any pre-sweetened, sugar-based cereals as a kid. So the original Rice Krispies that had no sugar was one to my go to cereal choices. Snap, Crackle, and Pop were cute little characters too and I enjoyed eating the cereal regularly. I went to Ollie’s Discount Store this last weekend and there was a…
How cute is this puzzle? I went to Ollie’s Discount Store over the weekend and they had a boatload of puzzles. It took me more than 20 minutes just to go through all of them and select the ones I wanted most. Best of all, the most expensive puzzles there were only $7.99 for a 3000 piece puzzle (which I did not get) and the rest were marked at $4.99! What a great price, and they had lots of 300,…
After doing a couple back to back puzzles that were a bit on the darker side, I wanted to go the complete opposite direction with my next one. As you can see there is nothing really dark about this gorgeous Romero Britto puzzle. I love his work and cannot wait to work through this one.
I am a girl of the 80’s and totally willing to freely admit I miss that decade so much! Things were so much better back then than they are today, at least in my opinion. It was a decade full of luxury, great hair, fun clothes, and some of the best pop / rock music ever made! I really started coming into my own musical tastes around 1984 when I saw MTV for the first time at a friend’s house…
I think most, if not all, readers of this blog know Stacey from My Jigsaw Journal and I have been really good friends for a long time. In fact, it has been over nine years now since she first contacted me via this blog when it was just about my build of the 24000-piece Life: The Great Challenge puzzle. What most of you likely do not know is that until yesterday, September 4, 2026, we had never once met in…
WE WILL NEVER FORGET Today marks the 25th anniversary of one of the worst days ever in American history. Close to 3,000 people died on September 11, 2001, leaving behind grieving children, moms and dads, husbands and wives, and cherished friends. Even though a quarter of a century has now passed since these tragic events unfolded before our very eyes on television, I can still remember exactly where I was and what I was doing. I’m sure most of you…
If you have watched any recent puzzle content You Tubers, then you’re likely already aware of a big focus on a brand of puzzle I only just heard about when watching said You Tubers. They are called Hobbry Puzzles. Apparently the quality is supposed to be amazing and the price really reasonable because they seem to only be selling them at places like Marshalls, TJ Maxx / Home Goods, and Home Sense. I have not seen one of these puzzles…
My wonderful kids and hubby got me this gorgeous puzzle a couple years ago for Mother’s Day. I absolutely ADORE it. Both Derek and Cole wore these exact costumes one year for Halloween. We were a big superhero fan family when they were little, and still are to this day. Half of this puzzle was a blast and went together pretty easily. All the brightly colored areas were fairly easy to figure out. The “best mom ever” wording was a…
Yes, I am running a little bit behind on posts ever since going on vacation, but I will get back to it and catch up by this weekend sometime. This is currently in progress on my board downstairs. It’s by Enjoy and is my first puzzle by them, though I have several in my to do closet. The image is bright, colorful, and just gorgeous in my opinion. The pieces are a nice matte finish and so far seem to…
We are on a little mini vacation for the Labor Day weekend and I finally remembered to bring a puzzle with me as I usually forget when we travel. Not only did I bring a puzzle, but I also purchased five more puzzles when we went on a shopping trip at Ollie’s yesterday near our hotel. And, best of all….it was Randy’s idea! Last night while Randy and the boys were continuing an animated series they’ve been watching together, I…
