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…
Today’s post is more of an opinion piece where I’d like to get your thoughts on a topic I struggle with most of the time. Grab your favorite beverage and sit back — this is a long one! Have you ever quit on a puzzle before it’s finished? Up until very recently, I really had not quit a puzzle midway through in an extremely long time. It is not something I like to do as I truly feel if I…
Today’s blog post will not be much about puzzling, although I will throw a couple of pics in there just because it is, always and truly, a puzzle blog after all. In a few short hours, my family will celebrate my youngest son Cole as he is called to the Torah to become a Bar Mitzvah. I’m not Jewish myself so you’ll have to bear with me as I may not have all of this correct, but from what I…
Never before have I seen a puzzle character that came with it’s own backstory, but for some reason (and I love it) this one did. This is what is on the back of the box — written by the artist perhaps? Ceaco? Though I’ve never seen them do that on other puzzles….hmmmm. GiGi lives with colors and patterns and her companion, FiFi, the mouse. She has a pet named CoCo who is a Scottish Terrier. GiGi is adventerous. She loves…

A cute and sweet little 48 piece puzzle my mother in law got for Cole on our last trip down to visit them. They are always buying them something every time we go down there. Grandparents are awesome, aren’t they?i I would love to see this one in a full A to Z puzzle, but not sure if there are characters starting with every single letter in the alphabet.
Manufacturer: Unknown Name: Superheroes Unite (my own title) Series: None Artist / Photographer: Unknown Piece Count: 24 Piece Quality: Fantastic New / Used: New Fit: Great Assembly: This is one of the best constructed foam children’s puzzles I’ve ever seen. The pieces are so thick and the way the image is printed and attached to the foam backing is great. Cole and I both love this puzzle and we always have a race to see who can finish first. The…
Another one of my son Cole’s favorite puzzles is this adorable 63 piece puzzle of Olaf dressed in a rather cute, wine colored “Christmas Tree Sweater”. I cannot count the number of times we have assembled this one together, and Cole has even done it several times all on his own. He and Derek both loved the movie Frozen, and also really liked seeing the recently released Frozen II. The quality of this one is really nice, and because I…
Children’s 24 piece Scooby Doo puzzle.
My boys aren’t as interested in puzzles as they used to be which makes me sad. It’s very bittersweet.
