As leaves change colors and the temperatures get a little more manageable in the eastern United States, I always find myself wanting to spend more time outside. There’s something about the crisp fall breezes that draw me outdoors! I must not be the only one, because November 17 is National Take a Hike Day, otherwise known as National Hiking Day. Of course on the days when the weather isn’t cooperating or we can’t escape from the daily grind, we can instead celebrate nature through puzzles...CONTINUE READING

I’ve been eyeing up Cosmoo in 500 pieces from Eurographics for quite a while because it always makes me laugh...CONTINUE READING

Do you have collections—other than puzzles, that is? I admit I collect a few too many things, and so it’s no surprise that I also enjoy perusing antique stores. Even if I don’t buy anything, I enjoy looking at and appreciating people’s diverse collections. April 9th is National Cherish an Antique Day, so it only seemed appropriate to explore some antiques in puzzle form! ...CONTINUE READING

It’s March, which means the wood frogs have been coming out to breed in the US! There’s nothing quite like strolling by a pond and hearing a chorus of calling frogs. March 20th is also World Frog Day, which makes it the perfect time to celebrate these amphibians in puzzle form!

I often think about traveling during the winter months, perhaps because I end up wrapped up in a blanket on my couch for most of the season. One of the places I’ve always wanted to visit is Japan. I had actually started to plan a trip for 2020 when current events made us pause our plans, and we haven’t quite been able to pick up where we left off. In the meantime, I know that puzzles have my back!...CONTINUE READING
