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.

June is the New Spring

April Wrap Up: Wrapped in Love                           In recognition of April being Autism Awareness month, Just Add Kids welcomes Colleen Nagle, a Burlington mom, as JAK's guest blogger. Autism is easy to misunderstand, misinterpret and mislead.  My son is the master of disguise and the best way to understand our kids is to assume nothing.  That is, assume only that they are kids, children, teens, silly, loving, intelligent and, well, simply put, no different than any other kid. Everything I have been told about Autism is wrong. Everything I know about Autism I have learned from my son.  My son with Autism.  He loves me just like his typical siblings love me, he cries when he misses me and he smiles when we are together again. Read more... He cannot speak.  He has never been able to express his favorite color or cartoon or game.  My heart longs to know him, to know the little everyday things: to know that he has favorites; to know that he likes the food I serve him; to know if ...
