Paws Gone Wild

Paws Gone Wild

If you can possibly look at this puzzle and those little faces and not smile — well then I have to seriously wonder if you’re even human! LOL This puzzle was sooo much fun to put together! Not only was the image adorable, but the quality of the pieces was amazing. Of course, as a small, 100-piece puzzle the pieces were rather large, but that’s to be expected when the biggest “do’er” of this type of puzzle is either young…

Despicable Minions and Those Who Love Them

Despicable Minions and Those Who Love Them

Is it just me or do you also find yourself watching these adorable movies over and over again? Whenever I am flipping through channels and see one of the movies airing, I generally will stop and watch even if it’s just for a few minutes. From the moment I first saw Despicable Me in the movie theater I have been hooked. They are just the cutest little, banana eating, mischevious dudes. They always make me smile. So no big surprise…

Play and Make Ice Cream Pops

Play and Make Ice Cream Pops

I loved this puzzle! It was so much fun and a very easy assembly for sure. I haven’t heard of very many of these pops, but most of them look delicious, and I would love to try several. My absolute favorite one was the soccer ball — isn’t it cute? I also really liked the looks of each of these. The fit on this puzzle was pretty loose and there was only one piece shape other than the edges, but…

ABCD Heroes

ABCD Heroes

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.

El Senor and the Beach

El Senor and the Beach

This puzzle was too adorable to pass up at Walmart this morning. I loved the first Re-Marks 100-piece dog puzzle I did of a handsome little Boston Terrier. Read about him here. El Senor did not disappoint either. The pieces fit tightly enough together that I could pick it up with just two fingers and hold it. Always a plus in my book. I also grabbed another Re-Marks puzzle with it this morning as well. An adorable dog having fun…
