Super Six: New fashion looks for swimsuits
By Kelly Hockenberry, Columnist, The Times
It’s time for the June Super Six! With the official start of summer a few weeks away (Wednesday, June 21st to be exact), I thought it would be a good time to feature swimsuits. I know. I know. PAINFUL.
However, unless you are planning to sit on the beach or by the pool fully dressed in 100 degree temps, we have to find an acceptable solution. Thank goodness...
Kennett truly is a staycation destination
By Kelly Hockenberry, Columnist, The Times
Who else is excited that the un-official start of Summer 2017 is HERE?!
You can be sure that I have my arm raised. I think we live in the coolest town (EVER)…especially when the weather cooperates and we can spend time outside. There are so many fun things to do in our little slice of Chester County.
The Creamery of Kennett Square is a 30,000 square...
On Your Table: Get the most from local farmers’ markets
By Cathy Branciaroli, Food Correspondent, The Times
One of the joys of shopping at farmers markets is picking out your own produce.
As farmers market season kicks off again I am excited to reconnect with the farmers whose produce graces my summer dinners.
A trip to one of these markets can yield nearly all that’s needed to make a spring dinner – fresh vegetables, local meats, tender herbs...
Graduating again stirs many emotions
By Kelly Hockenberry, Columnist, The Times
On Friday night I walked in my third (and final) graduation ceremony. As I crossed the stage to accept my diploma, I felt a strange mixture of emotions. I was elated to be finished, but, wistful that it was really over.
Going back to school at this stage of my life was no easy feat. It had been almost two decades since I had written a paper or studied...
The Tooth Fairy Index – a leading economic indicator?
By Dr. Stephanie McGann, DMD FAGD, Columnist, The Times
We all know the tooth fairy. That wonderful fairy who trades recently lost baby teeth for a monetary gift. I remember as a child always being concerned that the carefully wrapped tooth under my pillow would be lost and the tooth fairy would not be able to find it. As a child, my reward was often a shiny new fifty cent piece. Yes, this really...
Some motherly advice for Mother’s Day
By Kelly Hockenberry, Columnist, The Times
Every once in awhile I like to pose questions on my Facebook page to entice my friends to (essentially) write my article for me. Listen, I’ll cop to it. My brain is old and crowded and sometimes it’s hard to be creative on a weekly basis. Give a girl a break…especially since it’s Mother’s Day.
So, I asked “OK gals and guys, what is the...

Don’t retire, ReFire!: It all starts with you
By Gail Supplee Tatum, Columnist, The Times
The main focus of every article that I’ve written, centers on taking positive steps towards being the best version of ourselves. It’s about knowing who we are, which is easier said than done in many cases.
In my case, this is something that was never brought up, when I was growing up. It wasn’t a conversation that my parents had with me and wasn’t...
All About Connecting: Love is in the air
By Nancy Plummer, Columnist, The Times
Ok…so, it’s been a baffling few months weather-wise, but let me assure you now that Spring is definitely here, and love is in the air! From tulips, azaleas, and pink dogwood trees painting our landscape with such romantic colors and aromas, and seemingly every animal in the Kingdom chasing females around to procreate, it’s no surprise we mere mortals...
