There’s a new trend here at New York Chica where I give a special Shout-Out to those bloggers who had a great post (at least I think so ) for the week. I wanted to show my readers that there are plenty of great writers/bloggers out in the blogosphere and giving props to fellow bloggers is a great way to give back to the blogging community. Since I started blogging in 2006 (2008 publicly), I’ve met so many good, sincere and accomplished bloggers like Niri and Kim who both … [Read more...]

Easy Recipe: Festive Snickerdoodle Cookie & Cocktail Recipe
December 11, 2010 by 13 Comments
Cinnamon is one of my favorite spices of all. If it contains cinnamon, I'll try it. I add cinnamon to almost anything with sugar. I add it to my coffee, pancake batter, teas, cornbread, cakes, ice cream and even hot chocolate. The smell is divine and so is the color. You know my living room walls were painted a cinnamon color because the name of the color was, you guess it, cinnamon. My husband says I'm obsessed but it's ok. I can live with that. At least its good for you. ;) I found … [Read more...]

{Update} Thankful for Disney Social Media Moms Celebration in 2011 #DisneySMMoms
December 6, 2010 by 14 Comments
(This is an update from this post from last week.) After reading so many heartbreaking posts about not being chosen for the 2011 Disney Social Media Moms Celebration in Disney World and how Disney was not fair with the selection process, I decided to continue my story. I was already mentally preparing myself for the news that lots of other bloggers were receiving so I decided not to check my emails so obsessively like I've been for the past 24 hours. Reason being -- I had not received … [Read more...]
Easy Recipe: Bistec Encebollado (Steak & Onions)
December 4, 2010 by 13 Comments
I remember visiting my grandparents every weekend when I was a little girl. I was always filled with excitement when I knew we were going over. My grandparents were my parent the first 3 months of my life because my mother got very sick after she had me. I guess you can say that is the reason why I had a special bond with them -- not because they are my grandparents. My abuelo (grandfather) was the chef of the house. He would always create the tastiest meals ever. Everyone would come … [Read more...]

Last Night, I Went to Jail….during a party.
December 2, 2010 by 1 Comment
Made you look! Just kidding. I'm talking about Twitter Jail. ;) If you unfamiliar with Twitter jail, let me explain. It happens when you go over your allotted tweets for the hour or the day. For instance, the amount of tweets you're allowed are 100 tweets per hour/1,000 tweets per day. If you go over those tweets, you can no longer tweet until an hour or so later. During a Twitter party, that can really suck which is why I decided to create another Twitter handle. Last night was a … [Read more...]
