Halloween is almost here. My husband and I have noticed that in the last few years we’ve been getting quite a lot of—ahem–older trick-or-treaters. Like practically college age. So we’ve come up with some more rules this year that we’d like the kids to follow.

There are two radio stations in central New York State that have begun playing Christmas music… Um, you do remember that it’s only October, right? In fact, it’s hot right now. “Indian Summer,” as we used to call it when I was a kid, has shown up, and we actually had to put the air […]

Dear readers, I’m going to take you on a magical journey, one in which you will learn some of my innermost thoughts, hopes, and dreams… Well, okay, that’s probably a bit of an overstatement. But I’m going to tell you about some things I would definitely do If I Ruled the World.

I remember times when I would come back from my mailbox with my hands overflowing with junk mail. Luckily, with so much information being exchanged via the World Wide Web, that’s not the case so much anymore. I think the trees are happy about this too. That said, there are times when it’s easy to […]

Dear readers, it’s time for one more episode of “Only in the Movies,” where you learn about more things that only happen in the movies, but don’t happen in real life. Why? Because it’s the summer, and I’ll bet you’ve gone to the movies or have watched some at home recently.

Just when you thought it was safe to read my column again, I’ve done what should very rarely be attempted in the movies—but is done all the time, especially in the summer–the dreaded sequel. (If you don’t know what I’m talking about, let me help. A year and a half ago, I wrote a column […]

I’ve always had a lot of thick hair. Wasn’t always so curly—I can thank puberty for that—but since birth, let’s just say that I’ve had much more hair that the average Joe…or Jen. I’m lucky to have been seeing the same stylist for over 20 years now. (Of course, we were both only five when […]

My late mom was an excellent cook. She made amazing lasagna, stuffed cabbage, spaghetti sauce, chili—the list goes on and on. But the one treat she made each Christmas season, the one that everyone desired, was her creamy, rich chocolate fudge. She would make tons and tons of fudge and give it out to the […]

My husband, Brad, and I are pretty good about knowing our strengths and our weaknesses. I’m not a good singer. At all. You don’t want me singing at your wedding—unless, that is, you want to drive everyone out of the church or ceremony holding their ears and screaming. Brad is not a fan of public […]
