Calico Critters for the Holidays #Giveaway

I was not compensated for this post.  I did receive Calico Critters product. All thoughts and opinions are my own. 

WP_20131111_044

 

A few years ago,  on a visit to Peddlers Village, my daughters and I were first introduced to Calico Critters.   These adorable  miniature animal families have made their way into our lives and you will want to make them a part of your family too. Each Critter family  is dressed to impress with coordinating outfits.  The  family is sold as a set 4  but additional  set of twins or even triplets can be purchased.   The more the merrier and more time to play.   What I like best about the families is that you don’t have to worry about losing clothing or shoes as they are not meant to be changed.    As for accessories  you have so many options to purchase homes, schools,  car and so much more.

 

I was so happy to see them featured at TimeToPlayMag.com  holiday Showcase earlier this year.

One of my girl’s favorite new pieces is the Ice Cream truck.  Look how cute this is! While the families don’t come with small pieces the larger add -ons do, so keep track of them .

WP_20131111_049

All the Critter families will be lining up for some sweet treats!

WP_20131111_054

The attention to detail is remarkable, the mini versions of real life are oh so cute. My girls can be entertained for hours while playing.    Each child has a family of their own but they certainly let their imaginations run wild while mixing and matching families up and playing in their Luxury Townhome as well.  It is so wonderful to have toys in the home that let them all play together. With different ages  it can be tricky, but Calico Critters are a perfect hit for all.

WP_20131111_055

The opening on top allows for easy access, so your little one can help serve up some ice cream to all that are hungry.  The driver can even make a special delivery.

If you are unsure what to get as a gift this holiday season,  Calico Critters make a great choice for any age. Start off young and you can keep adding to the never ending adventures that the Critters can take.

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
The Bounciest Pop-Up Ever to Hit NYC is Popping Up The Bounciest Pop-Up Ever to Hit NYC is Popping Up for
Four Weeks this Fall! Located in Midtown, my girls and I created fun memories and tons of laughs while bouncing through this super fun pop-up! I even went down the slide! 😂 we bounced. We laughed. We even got to get our groove on and dance!  Definitely an awesome way to relieve stress. Go with family or friends! Here are all the details:  Now through Thursday, November 17th the custom-built installation will occupy the plaza adjacent to Greeley Square Park on Broadway between 32nd and 33rd Streets. Pop In The City is a 120ft long walk-through experience consisting of a 
series of interconnected domes, each housing separate interactive elements that reflect an immersive and abstract take on New York, its people, and its culture.  #popinthecityusa #popinthecity #nyc #thingstodoinnyc #greeleysquarepark #nycactivities #kidsinnyc #childhoodunplugged #familytime #staycation #nycstreet #popinthecityusa
