Escape Adulthood

Dog Days of Summer Giveaway

- - - | written by on | - - -

I decided it would be fun to participate in the Dog Days of Summer Bloggy Giveaway dreamed up by Shannon at Rocks In My Dryer. Between this and the free ice cream promotion, it appears that I have lost all sense of what it means to run a profitable business…but what the heck.

So here’s the deal: We’re giving away a Tea Time for Mom Gift Set, valued at $55. First, a little bit about the prize:

Everything Mom needs to make tea-time a much deserved me-time with this lovely basket featuring a 5×7 version of our popular “Mother” Print in a black frame. A variety of fine teas complimented by chocolates and tea cookies are great to enjoy while reading “Escape Adulthood: 8 Secrets from Childhood for the Stressed-Out Grown-Up.” We’ve included an 11 oz. Kim & Jason mug to complete this delightful gift box.

We only have one left in stock, so here’s how you can make it yours…

  1. Leave a comment on this post, sharing a way that you escaped adulthood recently.
  2. I’ll pick a winner from the list of comments on Friday, July 27th. Deadline for entries is 5:00 pm CST on that day.
  3. You don’t need to leave your home address. I’ll contact the winner by e-mail to get that info (and I won’t share it with anyone.)

Anybody living in the continental U.S. can win — you don’t need to be a blogger (or a mom, for that matter). Just leave your comment with an example of how you escaped adulthood recently and you’re eligible to win!

UPDATE: The winner of the Tea Time for Mom gift set is Libby. Here’s what she said:

Sunday afternoon at our friends’ 40th birthday party, me, my husband, my 3-year old and our friend’s daughter enjoyed their huge air-filled water slide to cool off. You know, those “very tall” things with water shooting from everywhere that are like $400 at Wal-mart? My friends were all worried it was too dirty for us to use. (Hardly–they have a bit of adultitis by the way) It was a blast. My husband had to borrow trunks even. The rest of the adults sat inside out of the sun. Great memory for us as a family.

Congrats, Libby! Thanks to everyone who played! Check out other cool gifts for the young at heart at the Kim & Jason Lemonade Stand!

  1. I escaped adulthood by driving alone, ejecting the nursery rhyme CD, turning up some Kenny Chesney on the radio, and singing as loudly as I could.

  4. What an awesome prize!
    This past weekend my sister and her husband, my mom, my husband, the kids and I all went swimming. It turned into an all day swimfest with the grown ups competing for best dive, best cannonball, who can swim the most laps under the water and most sommersaults. We were wiped out and sunburned by the end of the day but it was so much fun!

  6. I recently escped adulthood by having a peanut butter & jelly sandwich and glass of milk for lunch!

    Please put my name in for the beautiful gift basket. Thanks!

  8. I escaped adulthood by climbing up in the tubes at chuck e cheese with my kids. They thought it was so much fun and I enjoyed it as well!

  10. I escaped adulthood last week by playing my old Atari games. I still had a lot of fun, but I’m not as good as I used to be. Thanks for entering me in the contest.

  13. I recently escaped adulthood by reading “The Visitor” by Lori Wick. Please include me in this wonderful giveaway!

  17. I played in the sand with my kids and a friend. I wasn’t supposed to, but wound up getting soaked!

  20. I recently sent adulthood on a vacation by getting some sidewalk chalk and turning my driveway into my canvas. So much fun! Please add me to your drawing. Thanks

  23. Love it, and love your humor. Please, add me to your drawing – keeping my fingers crossed. :)

  25. The other day my hubby and I got a sitter and took his motorcycle to meet some friends for dinner. We had a nice dinner on an outside patio and decided it was too early to head home so we headed to a local carnival type place where we raced horses, rode a carousel, and ate frozen banana’s. I love it when hubby and I can just let it go and have fun by ourselves not as parents. Please sign me up for a tea relaxation package!!! What a great give-a-way.

  27. Luckily I get to escape at least once a day playing with my kids – be it puzzles, cars or legos, they always seem to take the adult stress away.

  29. I recently escaped adulthood by playing the coloring games on the Mary Engelbreit web site.

    And I love tea!

  30. I’m escaping adulthood by taking my oldest on a Boy Scout canoeing trip this weekend!

  32. I desperately need this prize! I can’t tell you the last time I escaped adulthood…I seem to be stuck here and want out badly!!!

  35. I recently escaped adulthood by taping the sprayer on the sink into the “Spray” position and completely dousing my husband (And then hi-fiving my nearly teen son who, at that particular moment deemed me quite cool!)

  37. I suppose this is how I escape adulthood because it certainly takes me back to being a child. My husband and I bought an old fashion ice cream maker this summer and we’ve been having a ball making incredible ice cream flavors and going ga-ga over all the available toppings. In fact, I plan on buying ice cream cones next time I go to the store. :)

  38. Escaping adulthood! Great questions (maybe I’ll use it with my writing students!)(I’ll give credit, of course):
    I made sand angels with my daughter at the beach. Yes, lots of sand in the scalp, but who cares! Please enter me! Thanks

  39. I escaped adulthood by tossing an ice cold glass of water all over my 14 year old son knowing I was going to get a water balloon in the back for my prank and I didn’t even fuss (much!) LOL

  42. I love having tea with a good friend or alone. I especially love to curl up on a cool, cloudy day with a big mug of tea and a good book, forgetting all my grown up responsibilities.
