JibJabbers Play Kickball!

February 24, 2012 – 10:43 am

Recently some of us got together and formed a team under the WAKA (World Adult Kickball Association) league, an awesome organization that brings everyone together to play kickball, win some games and mingle at a bar afterwards (we’re guessing that’s why most people play). Not familiar with kickball? It is a loose combination of soccer and baseball. We are team “Team” […]

Inside JibJab: Cha-Cha-Changes in the Office!

January 12, 2012 – 6:14 pm

The JibJab office has been going through a bit of a 2012 makeover. The company originally was divided in four separate rooms in our building. We wanted to feel more togetherness in one LARGE continuous room so walls needed to come down, desks needed to be moved and spring-cleaning started early. Check out the photos below of some […]
