Season's greetings! I am happy to anounce that a new little Adultitis-fighter has joined our family. Her name is Virginia Rose, and she arrived at 2:39 am on December 19, just in time for Christmas. Ginny was born at home and interestingly, she was born "en caul," which means she was actually born in her bag of waters, which is somewhat rare. Depending on what you Google, it is generally regarded as a sign of good luck (or an omen that she will grow up to be a vampire.) At 8 pounds, 15 ounces, Ginny weighed in a little over big sister Lucy but under big brother Ben, who was 10 pounds, 4 …

Top 10 Reasons You Should Attend the 2014 Escape Adulthood Summit
Last year's Escape Adulthood Summit was really something special.

Here are 10 reasons why you should consider joining their ranks: …

The 2013 Escape Adulthood Summit: First Thoughts
"Because this is better." That's the answer Chris Guillebeau gave at the annual World Domination Summit when he was asked why it was worth pouring all the effort and money and man hours into putting on the annual event in Portland when he could easily reach more people through his blog and bestselling books. This past weekend, I knew exactly what he meant. …

Ugly Cake Initiative: The Results
The purpose of this post is to feature some of the repulsive results from the recent Ugly Cake Initiative (We shared our family's experience here). We heartily congratulate all the people who took up the challenge to fight Adultitis by whipping up something ugly in the kitchen. And we offer our sincere condolences to any brave souls who ingested any of the creations. (Although to be fair, most were reported to be very delicious.) Take that, Martha Stewart! Without further ado, check out the gruesome goodness! …
Small Rebellion #6: The Ugly Treat Initiative
According to the Interwebs, the first week of April is Laugh at Work Week. If there’s one thing work could use more of, it’s laughter.

Happy Birthday, Kim!
I have many speaker friends who wish they had a Kim to do for their business what she does for ours. Believe me, I know how lucky I am. There is a reason that Kim gets top billing in the trademark "Kim & Jason." I may be the artist and speaker, but she's the inspiration. She's the lifeblood of our business. She's the one I aspire to be like. Not only is she the world's best business partner, but she's also my wife, best friend, and partner in crime on this crusade to annihilate Adultitis. She's also celebrating a birthday today. (Twenty-nine-ish. Again.) I thought it would be cool to …
