Happy October – Spooky Season is finally here! Since my last post, I visited the one and only Puzzle Warehouse. Not only did I go to the retail store (where I went live on Instagram and had help picking some new puzzles), but I also visited the actual warehouse. Puzzles as far as the eye could see. Every puzzler should try to make a trip to Puzzle Warehouse at least once. Heaven When I was at Puzzle Warehouse, I spent some time looking at the Halloween display because I knew that I wanted my next post here to be about Halloween puzzles. Several people pointed out an adorable Vermont Christmas ..read more

Lang, as in Puzzles, not Ant Man

The weather here in the PNW has definitely taken a turn for the fall lately. The gray days are outnumbering the sunny, the rainy days have definitely increased and the wind has gotten decidedly blustery. While I’m a huge fan of gray, blustery days (scarves, hot toddys and soups are my jam), the gray mixed with the high amount of drizzly days tends to get a bit much after a bit. Those are the times that I decide to take out my most colorful puzzles! I decided that the changing of the seasons called for a nice gradient, and since I won’t see them for another year, butterflies. One of my favorite ..read more

September is always a bittersweet time of the year. On the one hand, I’m sad that summer is going to be over. By this time, we have usually had our last camping trip of the year and temperature starts to get colder. You can start to smell the rain in the air and the leaves are beginning to fall. On the other hand, spooky season is beginning and the kids are getting ready to go back to school. Sorry, but not sorry, I look forward to school beginning. I have two ridiculous goblins causing shenanigans all summer and I look forward to a much needed break! This September is falling a little more on ..read more

As I was researching information about Cobble Hill puzzles I ran across their Family Pieces Collection. These puzzles have three different sized pieces – large, medium, and small. Puzzlers of varying age or skill can work together on these puzzles. I wasn’t sure I understood how these would work, so being forever curious I ordered one from Puzzle Warehouse. Candy Counter is a 350 Family Pieces puzzle from Cobble Hill, made in the U.S. from 100% recycled chipboard. It came in a sturdy, linen finish box with a poster. The poster was a welcome addition because two of us were working on the puzzle ..read more

USAopoly (The OP) & Care Bears

I shared my latest haul from Puzzle Warehouse on Instagram in July and asked which puzzle I should review. Overwhelmingly, Care Bears Care-A-Lot had the most votes. Without further ado, let’s take a closer look at USAopoly and Care Bears Care-A-Lot. USAopoly, aka The OP, began with the idea of putting a hometown spin on the classic Monopoly board game. They first focused on cities (San Diego was the first edition of its Monopoly games) and expanded to colleges and other licensed including movies, tv shows, and more. Then they branched out to produce interesting versions of other clas ..read more

The Other Beetlemania!

When the Volkswagen Bug came to the U.S. my father bought one in the late 1950’s. It’s hard to describe how different, how bare-bones and stark these cars were – tiny brake and clutch pedals, and no padded dashboards. These cars were so small and with the engine in the back! Unheard of at the time. When Bug drivers passed each other on the road, they honked and waved – members of an exclusive club. And soon there was the Bus! Young adults painted them in psychedelic colors and toured the country. Older adults went camping in them. When I noticed that the Puzzle Warehouse had a wide selection o ..read more
