This Chick is #1
By Just Add Kids Founder Paula Herrmann



Launching this business, Just Add Kids, just over 3 years ago, has given me the opportunity to interact, network and meet so many other moms in the area. So many different walks of life and home situations, yet the one thing that binds us is motherhood and our need to get out and have some fun with our kids and family.


                                                                                                                                                                                                                   In May of 2011, I was pleased to deliver the"Color Mom Beautiful" contest prize to a young boy artist and his mother. Little did I know that I had met one ofJust Add Kids biggest fans! Well, you know, she had 3 young boys at the time and really looked to JAK for things to do/places to bring the boys to (and sometimes the hubs!). Fast forward a year later with many correspondence in between, I get an email from her asking if there was any work she could volunteer doing. Um, heck ya! You know that calendar that you love so much? Well, she began loading that thing with so many options, it would make your head spin. It made my heart smile.
:-)                                                                                                                                                                                                                I dubbed her The Calendar Girl.






After a 9 month hiatus from her role as The Calendar Girl at JAK, which included the birth of her 4th son, I am so pleased to report that she is back and this time 'round will enjoy a little paycheck. I don't know where this girl gets her energy. Yet besides being a great mom to her boys, she is an avid volunteer/fundraising chair at her children's 2 schools.

AWESOME Dad

Well, most are! I know your kid's daddy might not be tops in your book, yet, in the eyes of your child, he probably is. I am so grateful that when my husband and I mutually took the risk to vow to spend our lives together, then had/have children, (while not always perfect) he ended up being quite the awesome dad. Assist your child in sharing his/her celebration of dad. (Um, I am sure you know, Father's Day is next Sunday, June 17th).  Here's a great way to do that, pocket $100 gift card for your kiddo, and knock out that Father's Day gift!  Here's how...

Silly Banned

The Rubber Obsession I think my 6 year old son was the first in his class to be told he can no longer wear his silly bands or Silly Bandz (not sure if they are the real thing, or imitation, who really cares?!) to school.  That was already back on September 2nd, his second day of first grade.  That started it's own trend, the full blown ban of those rubbery. colorful, object-shaped bracelets in his classroom.  Perhaps we'll see the full school ban in the future, or has the fad run it's course? If you're a pair of dad entrepreneurs, you hope not!  They recently jumped on the Silly Bandz craze and brought to market The Original Silly Stand , designed to do what else, but keep those crazy rubber bands organized. In my house, I think we need a Silly Bandz detector. I swear, we must have a over 100, but who even knows where they are (although I dedicated a container for each of my younger silly band wearers).  The funny thing is, my kids aren't wearing them a...
