Tattoos have been around a long time, probably even longer than you might know! In fact, I did a report in college on “The Iceman” Otzi in who lived between 3400 and 3100 BCE. He was found in 1991 in a glacier with 61 body tattoos. CRAZY! The tattoos were clustered around the body in … Read more
When I was a kid I recall going on many adventures. I would pretend that my swing set was sitting over boiling lava. You had to get across without touching the ground or you’d burn to death!! I would go over to a friends house at least once a month and play games like ghost … Read more
My middle name should have been FAST instead of Lyn. I can hear my parent’s voices in my head from when I was little encouraging me to “Slow down Jen Jen, you’re going to hurt yourself!” Did I listen? I thought I did! But the scrapes and tears would say other wise. I also heard … Read more

The dark, tornadoes (I would sleep with my parents until middle school during thunder storms), the basement (specifically walking up the stairs from the basement because who knows what’s behind you!), and the little bat with the peg leg from Disney’s The Great … Read more

I was once in a band….with 3 of my closest friends in 4th grade. My nickname was Tornado and we were called The Caution Girls. We “wrote songs”, crafted music videos, made some melodies, but I don’t remember us ever sitting down and jamming out (we didn’t even know how to play recorders yet). We … Read more
I hate greeting cards. Absolutely hate them. The idea of picking the perfect one out of the 20 you have to choose from at the store makes me anxious. And when I find one with an appealing cover, I open it up and what is written inside is mediocre. I end up having to compromise … Read more
