Raising Three Savvy Ladies

NYC Lifestyle Blog

December 5, 2011 //

Mistletoe and the Christmas Kittens Visits #NYC #CT #NJ and #Giveaway too

We are Spookley the Square Pumpkin fans so when I heard about this new book by Joe Troiano, I had to share that there are going to be Misltetoe events coming up.

 

Mistletoe and the Christmas Kittens – is a treat for the holidays.  The book embodies the true spirit of the season and is a gift that teaches the joy of giving.  Mistletoe is a great way for parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and teachers to spend time with children and have a special learning moment. 

Mistletoe is a cat that comes upon three kittens lost in a snowstorm. He selflessly braves the elements and his own safety to bring them to a warm home and to create a true family. In the end he teaches the lesson of “it is better to give than receive.”

“Mistletoe is centered around the holiday but is a universal message of doing for others,” said author Joe Troiano. “This book takes the focus off of holiday hassles and brings us back into the spirit of the holidays.”

Holiday Hill Farm Enterprises: Holiday Hill Farm was started in 2001, when author Joe Troiano was in search of a bedtime story for his son Nicholas. Troiano created the character of Spookley the Square Pumpkin living in a round pumpkin patch world to teach Nicholas about how differences make us great. Since then, several new characters have been born including Lyla the Lovesick Ladybug, JellyBean and the Unbreakable Egg, and Mistletoe and the Christmas Kittens – each teaching a lesson while entertaining readers. The characters’ popularity has prompted the business development in movies, DVD’s, apps, and plush toys. www.holidayhillfarm.com

NYC/Westchester Mom to 3 Teens who love to #travel #health #DisneySMC #teacher #westchester

Kerri G
So happy to kick off the holiday season with @macy So happy to kick off the holiday season with @macys and Santa! Last night, we took the train into the city to preview #Macys #Santaland I have to say it was quite magical. Although my youngest was 12, Santa was able to connect to her and put us all in the holiday spirit. 

I believe. I believe….

My mom also came with us. We started talking and I think it was almost 40 years ago that she took us to visit Santa at Macys. I was so happy to visit Santa with her and my youngest for a three generation experience.

Don’t forget to check out the beautiful window displays as you enjoy all of #NYC during the holidays!

#ad Mental health isn’t talked about enough, but #ad Mental health isn’t talked about enough, but 1 in 5 adults suffer from mental illness and disorders today. 

Let’s reduce the stigma by opening up the conversation in the classroom and at home.
As a teacher and a mom of 3, I know how important it is to be there and be a good listener.

Conversations are super important. It’s never too early (or too late) to have these conversations with your students or your own children.

Operation Conversation is a check-in on kids’ mental health. When we start simple habits of conversations, we can learn about concerns or problems our students are dealing with, help them problem solve, and build their confidence for life’s difficult moments. 

Teachers can help to destigmatize mental health starting in their own classrooms by talking to their students about mental health using a free deck of conversation starter cards. Parents can also use these cards to support good conversations while at home. I know as a mom, I can use all the help I can get. 

#Giveaway Alert! 
I have 5 decks of Conversation Starter Decks of cards to give away to 5 lucky winners to help you get the conversation flowing! 

To enter:
1. Comment on this post as to why you would love the conversation starter deck of cards. 
 2. Follow @OnOurSleevesOfficial
3. Follow me @SavvyMomNY  I will pick the winners after 10pm on 11/22

Took a little trip upstate 💚 Visiting my oldest Took a little trip upstate 💚 Visiting my oldest and touring her sister on first college visit. Maybe it’s a sign that they should be together. Totally bittersweet and we went to visit Binghamton in October 2019 and only made it to two more before March 2020. I’m only thinking of bright skies ahead for the both of them filled with amazing memories and wonderful opportunities 💚

New York state has so many wonderful places to be New York state has so many wonderful places to be a part of . From the bright lights of NYC, to quiet places of respite in its parks and wooded areas. Time to walk, hike and reflect. Being active and busy is something that I hope my teens learn from and something we can do together to enjoy all the beauty and nature it has to offer while keeping NY tobacco free. Did you know that our oldest generation of smokers are now dying? After them, you have me and a very large group of people who do not smoke at all. So, who’s next? Instead of taking cigarettes off the shelves, the tobacco industry views today’s teens as tomorrow’s customers, using menthol-flavored products to attract and addict kids – and it’s working. More than half (54%) of youth who smoke (ages 12-17 years) use menthol cigarettes. making it easier for kids to start and harder for them to quit. Menthol is not JUST a flavor, it attracts and addicts kids As a teen mom, I am sharing this so we can all take action! Learn more about the impact of Big Tobacco’s manipulative tactics on our communities and how you can take action to help end this injustice. Let’s keep our kids enjoying the wonderful things our state has to offer. Link in bio #NotJustMenthol #TobaccoFreeNYS #ad @tobaccofreenys
