Hi! I’m jill.
I love all things kids, connection, and confidence. I also love beautiful (and full) coffee mugs, any type of game, and reading.
Welcome to Confidence Meets Parenting!
A while back (maybe I should say a long while back) I started this blog as a way to share the fun learning activities I did with my kids. I sprinkled in some of my favorite parenting techniques and a few self-care tips.
Somewhere along the way, I started collecting jokes. What began as a sneaky way to send love notes in my son’s lunch box, turned into a huge list of joke, riddle, and pun collections.
I hear from readers all the time about really cool ways they’re using the jokes! I had no idea jokes could be such a powerful connection tool.
On this page, I’ve shared some of these amazing ideas!
Enjoy!
Jokes for the win:
“Some time ago, I started sharing jokes with my grandkids! I am sending Holiday jokes now, in the countdown to Christmas. I text them one per day. I love that it is “our thing: and you know, it’s all really about ways to connect.” – Linda
Each Joke Post Comes with a Printable
On each joke, riddle, or pun post, you’ll find a printable of the jokes. Once you have the printable there are a lot of different ways you can use it.
- Send a joke in the lunch box or in the pencil pouch if your little one buys lunch.
- Memorize a riddle to share on the drive to or from school.
- Put a joke or pun on the fridge, see who can figure it out first.

I smiled for days about this one
“My husband and I have 18 hens and we get 18 eggs a day….way too many for just us two. We give most of the eggs away to a Senior Apartment Facility near us. We pack up the eggs in half cartons and in each half carton we include a chicken joke. It’s nothing special but we think sharing a smile and a laugh is good medicine at any age. That’s how we use the chicken jokes. LOL.” – Janey
