Mom’s Favorite Tips from Parent’s Magazine

 

This is a sponsored post in collaboration with Momtrends and Parent’s Magazine

Any mom can agree that a night out with friends is the best. No children to interrupt adult conversations, a glass of wine in hand combined with delectable bites.  But what mom is probably thinking about while out is her children.  Parent’s Magazine and MomTrends joined forces for the perfect pairing of a Mom’s Night Out.  Parents magazine is a go-to resource to help moms and dads with childhood topics but also great family recipes, fun craft activities and best practices for keeping everyone happy and healthy.

Crafting made easy

Clorox® Disinfecting Wipes conveniently tackle life’s messes – from spilled glitter glue to finger paint – while removing germs, bacteria and countless other nasties you may find lurking in your home. Clorox - Snow Globe craft

While making this adorable snow globe, I ran into a few hiccups and spilled some glitter and the glue got a little out of control.  No worry, Clorox® Disinfecting Wipes came to the rescue.  When crafting with little ones you can set a great example by cleaning up together, they learn good habits and how a clean space can lead to a successful future.

 How to make Mini Spooky Cereal Smoothies

These smoothies double as a delightful Halloween breakfast. Prep the cereal milk the night before, and blend everything together in the A.M.

Spooky smoothie

Ingredients

  • 2 cups chocolate cereal, such as Cocoa Krispies
  • 2 cups reduced-fat milk
  • 1 frozen banana
  • 6 ounces reduced-fat vanilla yogurt
  • 1 – 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1/2 cup Halloween themed sprinkles
  • 8 tablespoons whipped cream (such as Redi-Whip)

Make It

1. Combine 2 cups chocolate cereal (such as Cocoa Krispies) and 2 cups reduced-fat milk in a mixing bowl. Cover with plastic wrap, and let soak in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours, or until the milk tastes like the cereal.

2. Just before serving, use a pastry brush to lightly spread 1 to 2 Tbs. honey along the rims of 8 small glasses. Pour 1/2 cup Halloween-themed sprinkles into a shallow bowl. Dip the honey-coated glasses into the sprinkles until rims are completely covered. Place glasses upside down on wax paper until the smoothie is prepared.

3. Add cereal and milk mixture, 1 frozen banana, and 6 oz. reduced-fat vanilla yogurt to a blender. Blend until smooth. Pour 4 oz. of the smoothie into each glass. Add about 1 Tbs. of whipped cream (such as Redi-Whip) to each glass and serve with additional sprinkles, if desired.

Mornings Made Easy

These smoothies double as a delightful Halloween breakfast. Prep the cereal milk the night before, and blend everything together in the a.m.

Creating Your Signature Scent

Choosing a perfume can take some time. Finding the right scents that work with your body isn’t easy but with the help of Perfumer, Julianne Zaleta of alchemologie offers bespoke perfume consultations where clients can create their own signature scent.  Having your own personal fragrance is the ultimate in customization, ensuring that you alone are wearing your favorite fragrance.

I was able to choose from an array of essential oils, absolutes and concretes, some rare and exotic, to create a fragrance that is uniquely mine.

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
