The Sentimentalist
Signs of spring are everywhere! These tulips were clipped from our garden over the weekend. The red is insane! Their appearance makes up for every drop of rain that fell last month. The only thing I like getting from the garden more than fresh flowers are fresh vegetables. Over the last few years I… read more
Let me begin by saying I am NOT a doctor. I may think I’m a doctor, and talk like I am a doctor, but I am NOT a doctor. That means when I talk about ailments and their cures it is just my personal opinion of what works in the healing department. That being said… read more
Do you give good gift? I know I myself feel that my gifts always seem a little lame and limp when settled next to a nice big pile of well-wrapped gifts at a birthday party, anniversary celebration, or baby shower. I’m just not that good at picking, wrapping, or ribboning gifts for others. It is… read more
Hello friends. I’ve missed you. Sorry for the absence. We went away. My little foursome shut things down, lounged on the beach, and lazily lingered in each others company for a whole week.

Splinters from a wood deck? We’ve got you covered. A mild case of eczema? Not a problem. Diarrhea? You are no match for us. We are parents. We are prepared. Usually… I know I have run to the medicine cabinet one too many times to find that we just don’t have the gear we need… read more
With Easter just around the corner I couldn’t resist sharing my all-time favorite Easter craft. This sweet, savory, smooth, crunchy little pocket of joy is DELICIOUS and super easy to make. Might it be the perfect activity for this Saturday afternoon? I think so. Aside from being scrumptious they also make for beautiful centerpieces or… read more
Last week Bromley Mountain in Vermont got 23 inches of powder – in March! That is one heck of a spring dumping. We skied our tails off this weekend. The minis were total troopers and we finished the season on a great note. Skiing is by far one of my favorite activities, and it’s a… read more
