The Metropolitan Opera will be featuring a fantastic show called Hansel and Gretel at the Lincoln Center for The Performing Arts. I've known the story about Hansel and Gretel since I was a little girl so I was super excited when I was sent tickets to see the show. The show will be available for only a limited time, just in time for the holidays. The first showing will be on December 14th and will last for only seven more shows. I am proud to announce that one lucky New York Chica … [Read more...]

Sometimes You Have To Give In
November 28, 2009 by 4 Comments
I saw New Moon yesterday with my sister and my daughter. I'm not really a Twilight fan, unlike my daughter but I wanted to make her happy so I took her. Ever since she saw the previews, she's hinted to me that she really wanted to go and see it. She's a huge book reader and read the book and loved it so she is definitely a huge fan. I waited to see Twilight on DVD because I heard mixed reviews on the movie and I'm so glad I waited because it wasn't all that great. I posted about the … [Read more...]
Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!
November 26, 2009 by 7 Comments
This has to be one of the best Thanksgivings ever for my family and I. There were no recipe mishaps (had many of those), every dish was made with love and was not rushed (had many of those too) and for the first time my husband helped me with almost every dish we made. Plus, no drama. That in itself, is the best thing in the world. I'm truly blessed. At first I thought we were going to be stressed out because we had so many dishes planned but once I wrote everything out on a piece of … [Read more...]

Music Ace Deluxe | Review & Giveaway
November 24, 2009 by 32 Comments
A couple of months ago, I was sent the Music Ace Deluxe to review. I decided to review it because my daughter has been playing the violin for 2 years now and she loves it. Even though she is not a beginner violin player, she wanted to add another instrument so I thought this would be perfect. She's thinking of learning how to play the clarinet. When I was in junior high school, I played the clarinet and violin and I loved it. Music was my favorite subject. I would count the minutes until … [Read more...]

Prayers For Anissa Should Be The Trend On Twitter
November 20, 2009 by 3 Comments
You must be wondering why I'm writing about Anissa. Well, she is someone that I've never met, never knew about til' just a few days ago and I never knew about her blog. It's sad that I had to find out the way I did. I felt I had to write about her because Anissa (from what I've been reading from tweets & blog posts from all over the blogosphere) is a mom of 3 (like me), a blogger (like me) and an around great person (like me, I hope..). From the photos I've seen, she is such a nice … [Read more...]

My CVS Deals for This Week
November 20, 2009 by 2 Comments
It has been months since I had a great time at CVS (aka getting stuff for almost free) so I thought I'd let you all know how I managed to get back $18.00 in cold, hard CVS cash! In the past, I would always shop at CVS to get the best deals because I would use coupons plus extra-care bucks too. You can read my past posts HERE and HERE on how you can get yourself started on saving at CVS too. This week was a fabulous week for getting some well-needed items, especially for the flu season. I'm … [Read more...]
