Yomega Toys Keep Kids Outdoors & Giveaway

I was not compensated for this post.  I did received samples for the purpose of review.

Spring is here! The weather is warmer and my kids want to stay outside longer.  We take bike rides and scooter rides, but sometimes it is fun just to stay in front of the house and have fun.

Yomega offers three items that my girls enjoyed testing out. (I have to tell you my favorite is the Kendama.  Don’t tell them that I have been trying to master it while they are in be.)  At first, they were losing patience. But, I explained that it is a skill that requires practice and I must say the practice is fun!

Outdoor Play with Yomega Kendama!

Yomega® Kendama!

Yomega’s Kendama Toss & Catch Skill Game is a traditional Japanese game that is easy to play but difficult to master.  The basic object of the game is to catch the tethered ball on each of the cupped surfaces of the hammer-like handle.  The ball has a hole in it, which allows advanced players to catch it on the spike (aptly called a “spike”). In addition to these basic maneuvers, there are numerous other tricks that players can perform, all of which require great hand-eye coordination. (MSRP: $9.99; Recommended for ages 8 & up; Available in neon colors: yellow, red and orange)

The Yomega Brain is a “smart” introductory yo-yo that’s perfect for beginners. When you throw the Yomega Brain, the yo-yo’s clutch system opens to enable it to “sleep” and then closes to force the yo-yo to come back up. Even if you’ve never played with a yo-yo, you’ll get it right every time! (MSRP: $10.99; Recommended for ages 8 & up; Available in blue, green and orange)

Outdoor Play with Yomega Brain Yo-yo

Yomega® Power Brain XP™ The Yomega Power Brain XP is the first yo-yo to offer two levels of play that advances with a player’s skills. The Power Brain XP yo-yo has the patented Yomega Smart Switch™ system, giving beginners an elective auto-return feature. As players progress and learn tricks, they can turn off the auto-return feature for longer spin times and string tricks. (MSRP: $14.99; Recommended for ages 8 & up; Available in blue, green and yellow)

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
