I am sure about the benefits of puzzles - I just can't seem to find the time or patience to deal with them, hahahahahahahha.
Don't forget to check out our blog during the next 5 days - we are on a St.Patrick's Day adventure in Ireland!!!

I just wanted to tell you I get a kick out of the puzzles you post on here. I've always liked doing puzzles, but I also have trouble finding time to do them. But it's nice to find one when I check out your blog, and the few minutes I get of distraction because of them is always appreciated ;)
Just never leave a 1500 piece job down below the steps when the cat's mad.

This was a great reminder that I used to love to do all kinds of puzzles and I just sort of got out of the habit. I think I'll pick it up again and maybe get my daughter involved too!
Great post -- hope your daughter's sleep study went well!
I do think puzzles are good for people to do, especially people my age. I will come back when I'm not thirteening and looking at the ones you've got posted.
