Ready for ‘07

by Kim 12.31.2006 Kim's Random Musings

As we stand here at the doorstep of 2007 and get ready to turn the doorknob, I can’t help but poppin’ on my iPod and listening to reflective songs from say, Coldplay or The Fray. For some reason I like to make the transition into the new year with a music video created by myself, [...]

Joy, Peace, and Hope

by Kim 12.21.2006 Have Faith

Here we are three days from Christmas and I’m sure I’m not the only one who has been busy wrapping gifts, checking the lists to make sure nothing has been forgotten, and feeling guilty about not baking any Christmas cookies. I would guess that this has been a stressful week for many. (Or am I [...]

Santa Has a Phone Number

by Jason 12.18.2006 Dream Big

And it is 1-800-972-6242. I’m not sure what his e-mail is.
Call that number anytime before December 24th, and you can hear a message from jolly ol’ St. Nick himself. (He records a new message everyday!) He reminds children to be good and thoughtful to others and all that jazz. It’s perfectly free and perfect [...]

Delighting in the Round Little Things

by Kim 12.18.2006 Delight in the Little Things

I’m not talking about rings, Cheerios, or hula hoops. I’m talking about doughnuts. But not just any doughnuts. The circles of love made fresh from the Daily Dozen Doughnut Company at the famous Pike Place Market in Seattle. If you like fresh doughnuts then you need to get on Travelocity right now and book a [...]

Sleepless in Seattle

by Jason 12.15.2006 Maintain Perspective

No, this isn’t some sappy Tom Hanks movie. Kim and I got into Seattle yesterday just before the, um, hurricane hit. I’ve never seen anything quite like it. We didn’t get much sleep because we happened to be on the 29th floor of a hotel in downtown Seattle while the 70+ mph winds whipped through [...]

My Gift to You

by Jason 12.13.2006 Kim & Jason News

Shopping really sucks this time of year (unless you’re a glutton for long lines, jammed parking lots, impatient shoppers and clerks who are one idiot away from a complete meltdown). Plus the Mall Santa can be kind of creepy. God invented the internet so you don’t have to be out and about this time of [...]

Seriously

by Jason 12.12.2006 Maintain Perspective

I believe that one of the many lessons children have to teach us — if we have the wisdom to pay attention — is to not take ourselves too seriously. Kids are unafraid to run around naked in front of strangers, wouldn’t think twice about giggling in a fancy restaurant, and are willing to walk [...]
