Don’t Bother Looking For This

You won’t find it in a crossword puzzle. You won’t find it looking through a microscope (or a telescope). You won’t find it in the back of your fridge next to the leftovers-turned-science experiment. …

The Secret Formula to Adultitis-Free Holidays

It's only two months away. I was strolling the aisles of ShopKo the other night looking for Lucy's Halloween costume and I couldn't help but notice that there was an entire row of Christmas trees right behind the bags of candy corn. Come on, people! …

Thou Shalt Not Eat Dessert First

Pretend that you are five. And it’s dinner time. Now, if I were to ask you, “Would you like to have dessert first tonight?”, what would your reaction be? Kind of a no-brainer, right? You’d probably wonder if it was some sort of trick question because the answer would be so freaking obvious: YES! …

Join the Kim & Jason Virtual Halloween Parade!

I've always loved the idea of Halloween parades. I say "the idea of" because when a was a wee child, I was terribly shy and deathly afraid of such inherently public events. But I did always enjoy seeing everyone else's costumes. (I just would've preferred to be invisible.) Well, we decided it would be fun to combine the awesomeness of the Halloween parade with the amazing connecting power of the Internet. Hence the first ever Kim & Jason Virtual Halloween Parade! …

Are You a Member The Poor Me Club? Here’s How to Tell

Gather 'round moms. If your life can be described as busy, tiring, and/or overwhelming, then it'll be worth your time to keep reading. [Mom of a toddler disclaimer: I need to mention that being a mom for just shy of two years does NOT make me an expert at this whole motherhood thing, that's for sure. But one thing I do know for sure is that there really are NO experts out there (other than Michelle Dugger, maybe?). I'm proud to say I have managed to learn a thing or two from having this 24-hour, 7-day a week job for a while now.] Lesson learned and neatly summarized: This alternate …

Thy Shalt Work First; Play Later (After the Work is Done.)

Bob Keeshan, also known as Captain Kangaroo, said, “Play is the work of children.” Most adults I know use play time as a reward for getting work done. Play becomes an incentive. It’s like a carrot. It works well for racehorses, and often works well for humans as well. For many, to play before the work is done often brings a great deal of guilt. Sound familiar? …

Missing Connections

My neighbor Dave shared an interesting observation with me the other day. He went to the ever yummy Buffalo Wild Wings to pick up some 25-cent boneless wings for the fam (yay for Thursdays!) As he sat down at the bar to wait for his order, he noticed five guys in a row sitting on bar stools, each one glued to his smart phone. He shared, "No one was talking to one another. It was kind of sad. Those guys missed out. These devices prevent us from 'real connections' with people. What a shame. I'm sick of all of the surface level conversations and interactions. I feel like I rarely go deeper …
