The past year has been a busy but great one, especially with being a part of the Keurig crew, aka K-Cup® Ambassador. I'm now entering the second year as a K-Cup Ambassador to taste-test new K-Cup® packs, share discount codes and giveaways for my lovely readers and to share my experiences with a variety of K-cup® packs. Recently, I was sent a couple of packages with some samples of the new Brew Over Ice K-Cups®. It couldn't come at a better time since New York has been slammed with 90 degree … [Read more...]

School's been out for a few weeks here in New York and my kids are becoming "Summer Bums." They want to sleep in, stay indoors (they are complaining it's too hot -- Hello! It's Summer!) and just play video games. Well, I surprised them when I told them I would give them each a weekly packet they would have to complete for this summer. They whined, complained and they gave me the evil eye. I don't care. I know it's summer and they have had a hectic year trying to get good grades but it's … [Read more...]

Now that I'm a full-time working mom, I don't attend too many brand/blog events. It's either in the morning or in the afternoon when I have to be at work so I usually send one of my writers to represent New York Chica. Yesterday's blog event was different. It fell right on a SATURDAY! I was ecstatic when I received an invite to attend the 101 Days of Summer Play Event by Banana Boat®, held in the wonderful home of Amy aka SelfishMom. To be honest, I was quite honored. Lately I've been … [Read more...]

The flavors of both apples and cinnamon is the best as well. I love apple pie so this cereal was right up my alley. Let's give a warm welcome to Chex's newest addition to its family of flavorful, gluten-free cereals -- NEW Apple Cinnamon Chex. I'm telling you, it's like a bowl of goodness. At … [Read more...]

Since I've been working full time, my social media life has diminished. I don't always have the time, energy or desire to "socialize" online when I "socialize" with strangers all day long.

After making the the collage, I noticed I missed the very first photo - morning. I will definitely post that … [Read more...]
