To all of you moms and dads out there – I hope you have a peaceful day.
How do you say I love you?

I think that sometimes it is very nice to say I love you with jewelry. John knows this, and in fairness he knew this long before he proposed. Poor John… If you agree, I have created a nice little SentimentaLIST of some baubles and bargains you might want to pass along to whoever it is that… read more

Dear Sentimentalist, From a very early age, our daughter, who is now 4, took very well to potty training during the day. Since that time, however, our parenting skills seem to be on the decline, as we have created a mutual dependence on the “pull-up”. And yes, although the pull-up is easy and reliable for… read more

If you ever doubt you have enough stamina to make it to the gym take a peak at this video and I challenge you not to be inspired. Bandit is small but fierce. I am not sure I have ever so doggedly (pun intended) committed to something. My favorite moment is when he has just… read more

Found this little critter crawling on my floor recently. (So very creepy and crawly) I recognized him as the living kin of the dead critters I found amongst my cashmere sweaters last fall when I took them out to wear. 15 of said sweaters (both mine and John’s) had massive holes in them. WTF… read more

I have a fabulous neighbor. She is that woman who seems like she puts no effort into getting ready and always looks fresh-faced, put-together, and glowing. She’s the kind of mother who puts her family first and doesn’t splurge on goodies for herself. How she does it? I do not know… We recently crossed paths… read more

I know where you thought this was going. I was being literal people. This post truly is about the constant low-grade pain in my neck. (The area that hurts!) For months now I have been complaining, wincing, massaging, and popping my neck – all in an effort to relieve the pain that often wakes me… read more

I love any and every opportunity to give people my opinion. Just ask those who know me well. I am a know-it-all. That being said, send me questions! I am DYING to give you answers. No need to give your name, I appreciate anonymity. I do! Not for myself, but for others. If I don’t have a… read more
The Sentimentalist Soundtrack

I love music. It makes me feel. Literally I can listen to particular songs and be brought to tears. And there are also those full-of-life records that just make you want to get up and dance. Admit it. You wish you had your own soundtrack every day. Me too. Today’s playlist? Maybe you wake up… read more
Can you hear me like I hear you?

This is what matters to me: And this: And this guy too: It’s been a long few months for many, but I think the energy is shifting. From Hurricane Sandy to the horrific shooting at Sandy Hook, we have all been changed. That being said, I feel the dark clouds are lifting. In the last… read more
