They were both Christmas presents for my son, Derek this year. He desperately wants to help me with my Life puzzle, but Mommy is still a little gun shy on letting him help with that one just yet. So, instead we worked on two puzzles together this week. The first one, a Peanuts theme featuring Snoopy was 35 pieces, and almost made me want to go camping – not quite though! LOL The other one, Spiderman with friends and foes,…
Earlier this week, I was contacted by Mike from the Jigamajoy Company of Pine Brook, New Jersey, who has created a very unique product that combines standard playing cards and jigsaw puzzles into a really interesting puzzling experience. A few formats have several different ways to solve each puzzle and some even have math questions to help kids put the puzzle together correctly. Huh? Who would have thought of combining these two seemingly unrelated aspects of “gaming”, but it seems…
I get a lot of catalogs. Catalogs for clothes…catalogs for kids stuff…catalogs for things I would never buy in my lifetime. However, catalogs for home decor are my favorite I have bought more home decor stuff through catalogs than any other catalog item.

Cole Hudson Weiss decided to make his world debut 6 days earlier than previously planned! So, on July 30th at 9:36 p.m. we welcomed him to his new world. At only 4 lbs. 13 oz. he was tiny but relatively healthy, but was having some issues maintaining blood sugar and…
About a year or so ago when we were still trying to decide on a housing development and floor plan in the metro Atlanta area, we came across a house and floor plan that we fell in love with. Unfortunately, the development the house was located in wasn’t exactly what we were looking for so we ended up moving on. I had forgotten all about an awesome room just off the master that the model had turned into a kid’s…
I know it will be years before I complete the Life puzzle, but I am already lining up future puzzling projects that I’d like to give a shot after this one is finished. Not nearly as big as Life, but still beautiful pictures nonetheless. Here’s some of the ones I’m most interested in getting: GOOD OLD DAYS – 6,000 pieces by Nicky Boehme ASTROLOGY – 9,000 pieces by Ravensburger MAGNA CARTA – 6,000 pieces WHAT HAPPENS IN VEGAS – 6,000…
