The Sentimentalist
Tucked away under the main building at Christ Church on the Post Road is Christ Church Books and Gifts. I stumbled upon it one day, and to say that it was more than I expected is an understatement. Becky Ford, who has run the store for the last four years, is spectacular. Knowledgable, charming, and pure… read more
For the last 8 years Little Wings Foundation has done a family volunteer event during the holiday season, but from time to time we do an event out of season when we think people need our help most. We’ve all seen the devastating images from Texas and Louisiana because of Hurricane Harvey. It’s hard to… read more
Madewell has long been one of my favorite brands when it comes to buying clothes that I wear every day. Their tees are perfect for layering, and their jeans (which are really well priced) fit like a dream! When they asked me to host an in-store event I jumped at the chance to collaborate with… read more
A few years back I was introduced to the Breast Cancer Alliance. They are a lean mean cancer fighting machine. With a team of just two full time employees – they host incredible events, pay for grants and research projects, and help women who couldn’t otherwise afford it to get the health services they need… read more
I was never a girl obsessed with weddings, but every so often I will come across one so dream-like that I am tempted to rewind and recreate my wedding to be just like it. This wedding, featured on the Vogue website, had me swooning. Just beautiful from start to finish. Valerie Boster and Michael Macaulay… read more
Each and every year that I have been writing this blog I have written about The Greenwich Land Trust‘s Go Wild! Family Field Day. And the reason is because it’s AWESOME! It is without a doubt our children’s favorite day of the fall. There are pony rides, petting zoos, bungee trampolines, food, music, hot air… read more
Something about the spring season feels very festive. There are weddings, end-of-school parties, birthday celebrations, bar and bat mitzvahs, and simple summer soirées to be planned. Party planning is not my forté so I love the idea of bringing on a professional who can really help to make even the smallest event a special one…. read more
It’s time to celebrate our town! Greenwich is 375 years old and part of the year long celebration is taking place this Sunday at 2pm. It’s a parade! There will be more than 300 marchers including the Second Company of the Governor’s Foot Guard, the Sons and Daughters of the American Revolution, marching bands, fife and drum… read more
It’s that most wonderful time of the year. It’s hard to feel it in the air because it has been so darn hot in these parts – but I just know fall is coming. And with fall comes my favorite family event of the year. On Sunday September 20th children of all ages are invited… read more
My senior year in college I started volunteering at The Hole In The Wall Gang Camp (HITWGC), a non-profit I consider to be the best place on Earth. The camp was started more than 25 years ago by Paul Newman with the mission to serve terminally ill children and give them the opportunity to experience… read more
