Top Ten Tuesday: Jigsaw Puzzles

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly feature hosted by Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl. This week's topic is a freebie, so I've decided to do something non-bookish. If you follow me on Instagram, you know I love jigsaw puzzles, specifically 500 piece puzzles. They can be challenging but not too hard, something I can work on over the course of a couple days. It's so satisfying to see them come together, and Henry loves looking at the final product! At the time I'm putting together this post, I've done 43 puzzles this year, and here are some of my favorites!

Little Feminist // Music Cats

Shrooms in Bloom // Garden Path

The Magic of Stories // Happy Plants

Sweet Confections // Springtime Petals

Woodland Pass // Spooky Portraits

If you're interested in more 500 piece puzzles, check out my picks here!

Month in Review: November 2024

November was full of fun! We started the month by going on a fall foliage train ride, which was really fun. We celebrated our nephew's 3rd birthday, and Henry had a great time in the huge bounce house with all the kids. We put up our outdoor Christmas lights very early (although we still haven't decorated inside!) - Henry's job is to turn them on each afternoon when he gets home from school. My in-laws came over for Thanksgiving, but it was a pretty chill day. It was also Henry's 3rd birthday! I can't believe three years have flown by already. I made my first birthday cake - let's just say I'm thankful that frosting can cover up a lot of mistakes! It tasted good, though. We ended the month with a small family party for Henry. Our sweet boy still enjoys reading, and his current obsession is hot air balloons. He loves reading about them, watching videos about them, and pretending everything in our house can be turned into one - it's been interesting!
