Raising Three Savvy Ladies

NYC Lifestyle Blog

March 18, 2013 //

I #LoveMusic, do you?

Music is there for all emotions: times of joy, times of sadness and even times of anger.  I love listening to all kinds of music.  I enjoy everything, well, except for jazz.  Not sure why I can’t get into it, but I also love singing too.
Singing doesn’t love me.  I know the words to many songs but you would rather I not sing.   I know how to “Keep Away from Runaround Sue” and how to “Enjoy the Silence.”  Some days I feel like “I still haven’t found what I’m looking for” or that “I’m Living on a Prayer”.
Other days, the “Summerwind, came blowing in”  and “At Last, my love has come along.”  These days warm the heart.
I love how I can hear a song on the radio and immediately I am taken to another time and place.  How the music makes the memory so vivid!
And then, there are the sad times.  Somedays, we all feel like we are “Losing Our Religion.”  Or, I hear “The Wind Beneath My Wings” and I can remember the feelings of watching Beaches with my best friend or the sad time when my grandmother passed away.
Whether happy or sad, I think music is there to support us and heal us when needed.  This is why I love music!
The Polk Love Music Project #LoveMusic #Fitfluential
Music keeps memories of my husband and daughter dancing in my head.
The Love Music Project #LoveMusic #Fitfluential
Music keeps my three girls little and dancing on New Year’s just by hearing the songs again.  One day they will be all grown up, but I will just need to hear a song to bring me back to New Year’s 2013 and see them dancing the night away. This vision of my girls and the song will be in my heart forever.
As I type this, I feel like I have the lyrics to 1,000 songs going through my head.  It is a good feeling to remember these words and have a common bond with others that stands the test of time.

    I went to the site and i saw a bunch of different people. Such as someone named Katie Miller
    I dont know if the site doesnt work great on mobile phones, are these people profiles that have used the site?
    Definately a great concept! Love your article. I love ehen i hear a song and it reminds me of something!

    It’s funny because I can sing the lyrics to songs and still not really pay attention to what they’re saying and I’m singing, but the song itself transports me to a specific time period in my life. I LOVE that about music.

  3. Amy @ Oh So Savvy Mom says

    March 19, 2013 at 10:51 am

    I listened to the story of a guy who had a jukebox in his house when he was little. He grew up listening to the records and loving the songs that the jukebox played.

    Music seesm to make me more productive and generally just a happier person, but don’t ask me who sings what b/c I get it all mixed up.

    Music transports me, lifts my mood or lets me steep in a mood too. It’s universal, I think we all love music even if the type we love varies

    Music completely impacts my mood. It can stimulate pleasant memories or help to create new ones. It is amazing at how powerful it truly is.

    I love this! I saw people young and old enjoying music in different ways 🙂

    ha! that’s so cool. as soon as I went there, I recognized my friend Nan! looks like it was filmed at SXSW 🙂

    March 22, 2013 at 12:06 pm

    Love music as well! Cindi Lauper’s True Colors still transports me to a family vacation car trip to Utah… I think that song played every 10 miles. I usually am a beat girl, and now that I have kids I have to be careful because many great songs with a dance beat don’t have the most appropriate lyrics for little ears. I have had to explain a few that made me blush!

    I love music, too. I couldn’t through my morning workouts with music. Music helps me worship God, de-stress, relax, and express emotion. This is the first I’ve heard of the Music Project. It sounds interesting.

  13. Janna Johnson says

  15. Theresa S says

    March 24, 2013 at 10:25 pm

    The first profile I was drawn to was unmistakeably Baltimore. With the stained glass inserts over the door and window and the marble steps…has to be Baltimore. Very cool. I don’t have a very good singing voice, but have always wished I could belt out The Greatest Love of All like Whitney Houston on stage in front of an audience one time just to know that feeling. Guess I have to settle for being an admirer of those who can…..

  16. Theresa S says

    March 24, 2013 at 10:41 pm

    Music is such an escape and with so many genres it can match any mood you’re in. Recently, I’ve been listening to Frank Sinatra because it reminds me of my dad. He passed away over 20 years ago and I’ve been missing him quite a bit lately.

  17. J Baker says

    March 25, 2013 at 1:55 pm

    Saw lots of people enjoying music, like they should!

  18. Corey Olomon says

    I love music because so many songs are attached to a place and time. When I hear that song, it will always bring back good memories.

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

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
