Skip the filler, dim your lights, and see if your sanity can survive my collection.

These past few years, I have found a new love of doing jigsaw puzzles - I find it to be a surprisingly chill activity and it really helps me to relax and just sit down and focus on a puzzle, and nothing else. It's my perfect wind down activity after my kiddos go to bed (and a nice little glass of Pinot Grigio pairs well with that also 😏). Here are a few of my favorite ones that I have done this past year. (Note - Ravensburger is my favorite brand, but I do touch on some other brands as well). Also, I don't currently have anything to recommend that's over 1,000 pieces, simply because I just don't have the space for it, so I have not done those :(

You can never capture all the memories from 80's/90's but it's fun looking back at a few to remember. Anytime I see most of these items, it brings back so many fun times that I had growing up. The simpler times before internet, social media, cell phones and computers. We did start to get these items, but it wasn't where it's at now. My kids love looking back at these items as well because they love the stories I share. My daughter even says that I make her want to visit back then

The lyrics for this song about Saint Nicholas were written back in 1874, but it took a long time for the first recorded version (in 1949) to hit public consciousness. There have been many cover songs since, but modern Christmas albums by contemporary singers don't tend to cover this song. It's a bit unique. The lyrics often get changed in the part where children want certain toys.

I once asked someone whether a watercolor that I saw on vacation was worth the price. He responded, 'Well, is it worth it to you?' That response taught me that everything has a relative value. Art, while considered a luxury for some, can bring joy for many years - more so than that dress you'll wear twice. Invest in art and you'll not only fill some space on your wall but have beauty to enjoy in your home for years to come.
