I guess few of you already know that – I’m jigsaw puzzle addict! I didn’t know that until I started to puzzling 24-48 piece puzzles with my girls! Next one was 1000 piece puzzle.. and another one, then 2 of 500, then again 1000… until all the puzzles we bought (as a bundle) were done. I posted a few blog posts about that… I started on March 2018 and manage to complete six 1000 piece puzzles (two of them I did twice, so 8 in total) and three 500 piece puzzles (also, two of them I did twice – so 5 in total) till Christmas.
I was surprised when my friend DžīDžī (pronounced as “GG”) got me a 1000 piece puzzle on Christmas! Also, Dimi sent me a 1000 puzzle for Christmas too!!! I’ve finished DžīDžī puzzle – will share later and now been enjoying one from Dimi! This one looks hard… but I never give up!

a day in the life of a latvian mom 
I haven’t done one for years but my mother was also a bit of an addict but, living alone, she did not have to complete it in ‘one go’ before little girls undid much of the work 🙂 . So it may have been on her table for several days before completed.

I come from a long line of puzzlers. As a child we often had a large puzzle (1000 pcs) on our dining room table during the winter months. It seemed we only did puzzles in the winter. A few days ago I was in our local library and they had a large puzzle started on a table in the middle of room. It seemed most people paused a few minutes to work on the puzzle then moved on. Wonder if it got finished yet. I’ll have to go check.

It could work to help put them at ease while they wait. Sounds like a plan.

Our eldest (almost 5) is a big puzzler in more ways than one 🙂 She amazes me how quickly she finishes them. I must try something more challenging for her than the 100 or so pieces she has mastered so far.
I always remember my sister had a passion for them, maybe the knack is passed on from her.

I have done puzzles like this off and on over the years. Ravensburger makes some great ones. The more pieces the better I figure and I can pick them up inexpensively at thrift stores sometimes. I have to keep the cats away, though. They like playing with puzzle pieces.
