Just Add Baby

Bright. Cheery. Helpful. These are words I'm not used to associating with people working in the airline industry. More commonly, I've noticed that security officials and airline employees tend to be among the most riddled with Adultitis. Little did I know that there is a simple solution to help raise them from their doldrums: Just add baby. …

Just For Fun

Every once in a while I run across something in adulthood that I would've died for as a kid. Superfan Steven Sauke shared with us one of these things. FAO Schwartz has an online section of their store where you can actually build your own Muppet. Yep, you get to choose the color of the body, the type of eyes, nose and hair, as well as the outfit. Way cool! What a way to whisk you back to childhood. I certainly would've saved up my allowance for a chance to design and own my very own Muppet. Now does anyone really need a custom designed, $90, Muppet? No, especially not in this economy, …

Meet Teresa Crevier

Our featured fan of the moment is Teresa Crevier. Teresa shares... • My hometown is... I grew up in Norwich, NY, but now I live in Wethersfield, CT with my husband and son. • My biggest dream is... To learn how to surf even though I can barely swim!! • My inspiration... Walt Disney. • When I was a kid, I... Had a secret club with my sister and some other kids on our street. We called it "Member's FBI." It used to be "Women's FBI", but then a boy joined, so we turned the 'W' over on our flag. Our purpose was to fight crime, but mostly we marched around the back yard singing our …

Your Recession-Proof Inner Child

Old people are often accused of being stuck in their ways. "Old" is a relative term, though. It does seem to be that as our age climbs, we tend to get more comfortable and less open to change. But that can begin to happen just as easily when you're in your twenties as when you're taking advantage of the senior citizen discount at Applebees. This little trait doesn't usually serve us all that well. Even less so during economic recessions. …

Sticking Together

This past weekend Jason, Lucy and I drove up to Minneapolis for a speaking program. We were on the road for about 600 miles total, and by the end of it we were relieved to be home. Lucy was an angel, so it wasn't our two month old who created the extra stress on the trip. The weather was fine, so it wasn't that. It was the other drivers. Jason and I identified a significant increase in distracted drivers. Some were swaying back and forth crossing the lines without even knowing it. Others were weaving in and out of lanes so haphazardly, they were endangering everyone around them, including …

Things My 99-Year-Old Self Told Me

Yesterday was my thirty-third birthday. Wow. I guess if I'm really lucky, I'm about a third of the way through. If I'm not, an asteroid could land on my head later today. In some ways, thirty-three seems old, but to be honest, I don't feel much older than twelve. Just a bit wiser, I hope. I spent part of yesterday morning reflecting on things of the past and things to come. I wondered what my 99-year-old self would say to this 33-year-old whippersnapper if he had the chance. Surprisingly, he was eager to share a few things, and this is what he said: 1) Don't waste time worrying about …

Stir With a Purpose

One of my favorite products on our online store is the doormat which says, "Well, Butter My Butt and Call Me a Biscuit, Look Who's Here!" We've received so many great reactions from that simple sentence. Speaking of biscuits, I was looking online the other day for recipes and I found a site sharing tips and techniques for making the perfect biscuit. One of the tips really stood out to me... Stir with a Purpose: When mixing the dough, stir just until the batter is well-moistened and begins to cling together. Overworking can lead to tough, dry, and heavy biscuits; underworking can result in …
