SHOUT-OUT SUNDAY I wanted to start a new trend here at New York Chica. I want to give a special shout out to those bloggers (friends & beyond) that have had great reads during the past week. I will try my best to get these out by Sunday night each week. I hope you enjoy their sites as much as I do. 1. Who said it was your child's job to make you happy? 2. This mama is surely proud of her baby on his first job! 3. Dreams do come true. 4. My friend needs YOUR vote! 5. What … [Read more...]
Wordless Wednesday – My Favorite Childhood TV Show {Linky}
July 7, 2010 by 8 Comments
This is by far one the best things I saw while in Washington, DC. The Smithsonian has it on display next to other icons like Fonzie's jacket, the original Kermit the Frog puppet and even Dorothy's ruby red slippers. These two chairs brought back so many memories. You see, my dad used to watch All in the Family every week and right along side him was me, watching it also. Now my kids watch it with my husband and I and we all laugh and have a good time. Makes me wish I could have just one … [Read more...]

Wordless Wednesday – Pooh & Tigger On Broadway {Linky}
June 23, 2010 by 7 Comments
This past Saturday, I went to the city for a show (post coming up) and when I got off the train, there was a festival with vendors selling clothes, jewelry, music, all types of food from different cultures, Pooh & Tigger dancing to reggae music & lots of people walking around enjoying the scene. My daughter and I walked around a bit and bought some empanadas (savory meat pastry) from a Puerto Rican vendor and it was delicious! We also bought some ice cream and a strawberry & … [Read more...]
Did Anyone Guess Right….
June 17, 2010 by 1 Comment
on my WW post? This post was fun even though I only got a few answers. Unfortunately no one was right. Rachel said it was jam. Yona thought it had some avocado in it. Tracey hoped for pesto and Michele thought it was colored sugar. So, are you ready to find out what the "Green Goodness" was? It was homemade GARLIC PASTE!! Somehow the garlic turned green when my husband added a touch of vinegar into the mixture of garlic, a dash of salt, oregano and butter after putting it in the … [Read more...]

Wordless Wednesday – Picture Fun {Linky}
June 2, 2010 by 12 Comments
Looking thru my old papers and old photos, I found this picture. It was taken at Great Adventures in New Jersey in 1995. This is supposed to be the way our "child" would look if we both had children together. HA! HA! HA! We have 3 kids and they don't look nothing like this picture. Looking at it now makes us both laugh and reminisce about the days we would talk about getting married and having kids. The good ol' days! For more Wordless Wednesday, please visit … [Read more...]
Wordless Wednesday ~ That Pink Thing {Linky}
May 26, 2010 by 8 Comments
I finally got an iPod Touch for Christmas after asking for one for months from my husband. Ever since that "dreadful day" (as my husband calls it), I have been addicted. Everywhere I go, I have it in my hands. If we're watching a movie, I have it. If we're in the car and he's driving, I have it. I try to hide it but I'm always caught. If we're sitting on the sofa, he'll look towards me and and if I have it in my hands, he'll say this, "You have that pink thing in your hands again?" Never … [Read more...]
