Adam’s Ants

The Chocolate Factor

by Jason 11.29.2005 Live Passionately

Smart companies know the advantages of adding a little dash of childlike nostalgia into their business plan. In fact, some companies have constructed entire business models around it.

Paper or Plastic?

by Kim 11.29.2005 Adultitis

I officially hate grocery shopping.
I went this morning and I found myself moving rapidly from a calmly curable Stage 1 Adultitis (due to early morning grumpiness) to a severe case of Full-blown Adultitis. I think I would rather be sitting in a dentist chair. I know that’s a bold statement, but I have pretty ‘good’ [...]

by Kim 11.24.2005 Delight in the Little Things

Last night Jason posted his list of 8 little things he is thankful for (besides his faith, good health, family and friends, etc.).
So, here’s mine:

2. My mom’s hot fudge sauce (if I shared the recipe I’d have to kill you).

Top 10 Kim & Jason Christmas Gifts

by Jason 11.23.2005 Kim & Jason News

Even though the big retailers officially start the holiday shopping season sometime between Independence Day and Halloween, I could not get myself to begin the Christmas push much earlier than right about now.

8 Little Things I’m Thankful For

by Jason 11.23.2005 Delight in the Little Things

Well, tomorrow is Thanksgiving and I’m getting ready to check out for the long weekend. Kim and I are heading home to Illinois. We’ll spend Thanksgiving Day at her mom and dad’s place, and celebrate turkey day on Friday with my family. That’s right, one trip home, two Thanksgiving dinners. Be still, my frightened bathroom [...]
