Whimsy is Underrated

I saw this car in my neighborhood the other day. It’s a real head-turner, with all of its whimsical flourishes and flair. They don’t make cars like this anymore.And that’s a shame.In the 1950s, cars featured all sorts of angles, fins, and bright colors. They were sleek, fun, and bursting with personality. The Jetsons gave us the wrong impression. Not only do we NOT have flying cars yet, we actually seem to have devolved our automotive design, settling for something that resembles a safe deposit box with the sharp edges sanded down and all the personality of white bread.Car designs these days …

Did You Know How Great You Are?

"Pretty Darn Great" by Jason Kotecki. 40x60 inches. Oil on canvas.Prints available here. This shark is awesome. You can tell how awesome he is by his gold teeth. Obviously, the male sharks want to be him and all the ladies want to be with him. The fact that he is a success is a foregone conclusion to everyone.The joke is on the shark though, because these teeth are not long for this world. You see, sharks continually shed their teeth, (some shedding approximately 35,000 teeth in a lifetime!) That’s a lot of lost bling. What a shame!The tragedy though, is that gold grill or no, he already …

Why it Might Be Worth Trying Homeschooling this Year

Has the pandemic actually gotten you considering a jump to homeschooling (at least temporarily)? We are work-at-home parents of three kids who have been homeschooling for over a decade. Kim is also a former educator, and Jason has worked in school districts nationwide to support teachers and administrators for the past 15 years. Many people have lost confidence in how well the school system is able to serve their kids in the year ahead and are anxious over the uncertainty of what’s next. As such, we are hearing from tons of people who are suddenly considering the prospect of …

2020: Your Best Year Ever?

Eating a peach, in season, perfectly ripe, is pure magic. But also messy.Oh, sure, you can eat peaches before they’re ripe and they might drip less, but they’re not nearly as good. The best peaches are always messy.Now I’ll admit it: I prefer tidy. I like the structure of a good plan. I feel good when the dishes are done and the counter is cleared. I’m easily disturbed when piles stay piles for too long.Is that an Adultitis-fueled trait? Perhaps. But I do find that I am more present, relaxed, and creative when clutter and chaos are minimized. In general, I don’t think it’s a terrible trait to …

Mia Lauzon, July 2020 Adultitis Fighter of the Month

An Adultitis Fighter is someone who rallies against rules that don't exist and engages in ruthless, senseless acts of silliness that undermine Adultitis and its unadventurous version of adulthood. Once a month, we shine a light upon the most remarkable among us, holding them up as a dazzling example of what we should strive for in this epic battle against a formidable enemy. We are BIG fans of Mia Lauzon!!! She has a beautiful spirit of playfulness, honestly, and curiosity. You can often find her in nature, savoring and photographing the wonder that feeds her, or dancing wildly …
