Laid Off Husband Celebrates Anniversary with Slew of Small Rebellions

Small rebellions rule. They really are the most effective way to beat Adultitis. And they are so ridiculously simple. Pretty much my favorite thing in the world these days is getting an email, a blog comment, or an anecdote at the end of one of my speaking programs from someone who shares an example of a small rebellion they have participated in. Most of the time, they don’t even realize they’ve done it, because the effort was pretty minimal. But the result is monumental. …

7 Ways to Defeat Adultitis Amidst Chronic Pain

One of our most frequently asked questions is this: "Living an Adultitis-free life is great in theory, but what about people who live with pain? How are you to stay young when health issues prevent you from enjoying life and having normal fun?" …

Mud is Too Dirty: Have You Become Your Parents?

Having kids does weird things to you. The gravity of being the one responsible for the care and development of another human being can be overwhelming. The role of responsible “grown-up” can make you terribly paranoid, overly strict, and endlessly stressed-out. …

12 Little Ways to Wear Fun at Work

During a recent trip to Disney World, Jason and I noticed something very interesting. Almost every single adult we saw was wearing a fun shirt of some kind. Superhero logos, cartoon characters, witty phrases, sports paraphernalia and of course, Disney shirts (those darn gift shops get ya every time). You name it, fun shirts were everywhere. It was awesome! It does make sense, come to think of it. …

Michigan Mom Creates a Scene with Spaghetti

It has been said that we don't remember days, we remember moments. I like to call these moments "scenes." Like how there are certain scenes in certain movies that stand out as truly memorable... …

Meet Penny Gagliano

"This photo is of me and my friends waiting to watch Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Pt. 1. We found a mustache quarter machine and spent a good half hour entertaining ourselves with them. I'm on the far right." …

Having “The Talk” With My Daughter

It was a huge moment. One that I hadn't expected would happen this early, quite honestly. And yet the opportunity arose and I knew I had to seize it. Before I realized it, I was having "THE TALK" with my daughter. Breathe deep, I told myself. This is a moment I had envisioned so often, but wasn't quite sure how I would handle it all. …

Learning How to Scuba. Metaphorically Speaking.

Over the years, I’ve had to rely on my faith quite a bit. I blame starting a business for that. There were late nights when I wondered if I was a crazy fool, wasting time and money on a venture that would never pan out. I questioned the sanity of my friends and family, the ones who supported me even when my ship seemed to be sinking like a rock. …

Sticky Cup Saturday

The McDonald's cup was in place. And although Lucy was completely oblivious to the shananigans we were enjoying, she certainly enjoyed our anticipation and laughter. "I haven't heard you laugh like that in a long time." That's what Jason said to me at the tail end of our Sticky Cup ride. …

Banish Adultitis From Your Relationship

Is your relationship missing some of its magic? You can probably blame Adultitis for that. It likes it when things are bland, boring, and firmly entrenched in a rut. Fortunately, the appropriately named Adultitis First Aid Kit is designed to tackle this problem head on! Just imagine, you and your sweetheart getting back to the days when you first met, when things were fresh and exciting and giddy. Yeah, that sounds about right. …
