Don’t Retire, ReFire: The magic of the season
By Gail Supplee Tatum, Columnist, The Times
Ah, to look at life through the eyes of a child, especially during this magical time of year. Well, you can! All you have to do is put yourself back to a time in your childhood where you were wide-eyed and filled with joy, wonder and excitement. Soon, you will have a grin from ear to ear and a skip in you step.
Being the passionate person that I am, this...
Super Six: Holidays edition
By Kelly Hockenberry, Columnist, The Times
Ho Ho Ho! Ready for the Holiday Super Six? Anyone else in “Present Panic Mode” like I am?
While online shopping offers many conveniences, the sheer volume of options has me paralyzed, overwhelmed, and unable to get past “add to cart”. I have a tendency to second guess and I worry that what I see on my computer might not be as awesome in person. (More...
Too many of us with stories to tell, sadly
By Kelly Hockenberry, Columnist, The Times
Oh, Matt Lauer.
Honestly, as I watched Savannah Guthrie read the prepared statement from NBC executives, I can’t say that I was really that surprised. There have been rumors about him being unfaithful to his wife for years. So, it wasn’t a huge leap to believe that he could be disrespectful to his female co-workers.
To me, what is most upsetting about...
Girls Day Out coming in Kennett this week
By Kelly Hockenberry, Columnist, The Times
Happy Thanksgiving! What a spectacular weekend of feasting, family, and fun!
After a solid week of eating waaaaay too many calories, I have a plan to burn the bird:
Christmas Shopping Cardio.
No, it’s not a new class at the Y. Yes, I just made it up…but, I think the concept is sure to go viral. Lucky for us, it’s the ( much anticipated) #GirlsDayOut...
On Your Table: Fall back for a little pasta
By Cathy Branciaroli, Food Correspondent, The Times
Green vegetables add brightness to this dish and the meat makes it a substantial dish.
No meal is more perfect for the onset of cold weather than a nice hearty plate of pasta. We all love these but you don’t need to limit yourself to the classics like spaghetti.
In fact, I think greens makes some of the best inspiration for seasonal pasta dishes....
Gifts for the guys, all found locally
By Kelly Hockenberry, Columnist, The TImes
The countdown to the holiday season is here! Although, if you’ve shopped in any big box retailer, it’s been here for about 6 weeks already. The rush to promote Christmas is one of my biggest pet peeves. Thanksgiving is my absolute favorite and it seems to get more diminished every year. I swear, I saw Christmas ornaments next to the Halloween candy at...
The winds of change in dentistry
By Dr. Stephanie McGann, DMD FAGD, Columnist, The Times
Each fall dentists from around our nation gather to attend the Annual Meeting of the American Dental Association. Most years the meeting centers around improving the quality of our care. Hundreds of continuing education seminars along with tremendous displays of new products, equipment and techniques keep the average dentist busy for the...
Don’t Retire, ReFire: Pay inspiration forward
By Gail Supplee Tatum, Columnist, The Times
Do you give yourself enough credit? Most of us don’t. If we did we would feel so much more fulfilled. It would give us a purpose. If you struggle with feeling a sense of purpose, consider inspiring someone else. The saying goes that it’s better to give than to receive. This certainly is true in my life.
No matter what our age, each of us is...
SuperSix: The holiday rush is officially ON!
By Kelly Hockenberry, Columnist, The Times
Hello November! Once Halloween is over, the insane rush to the holiday season is ON. Since it’s time for my monthly Super Six, I figured we may as well jump on the bandwagon. After all, Walmart has the entire back of the store chock full of faux Christmas trees and inflatable snowmen. No time like the present to focus on some (pretty awesome) presents…

Turning to the experts at No. 109 & Houppette
By Kelly Hockenberry, Columnist, The Times
Writing this article week after week has truly honed my style skills. Over the past five years, I have researched so much about trends, tubes of mascara, and the art of finding the cutest, most comfortable shoe, I feel like an expert on all things fashion.
Alas, I am not. (But, a girl can dream).
Thankfully for all of you, I have friends with REAL knowledge....
