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…

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…

Indeed, what is a fancy girl to do when presented with so many glittery and gorgeous options?? Wear them all of course! ? This is my first Fancy Nancy puzzle, but will certainly not be my last.

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.

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…
