Last week, my daughters and I ventured out to Suzanne's place in Queens, N.Y. to meet up with some of the New York based bloggers for a get-together sponsored by Frito-Lays. Any meet-up with chips accompanied by some delectable dips are always a good thing when paired together, in my opinion. If you haven't noticed, last week's weather was brutal with temps hitting high 90's and feeling like triple digits but thankfully Suzanne had a water table out and a bouncy house for the kiddies and … [Read more...]
Enjoying The Summer with Keurig’s Brew Over Ice
July 11, 2011 by 6 Comments
Summer is in full swing as we all know and for me, Summer means glasses upon glasses of iced cold lemonade and iced tea. They're both my drink of choice when its sweltering hot out. Not only am I one of Keurig's K-cup ambassador but I am one of their biggest fans . They keep me amazed and well-caffeinated when I need to be and are always surprising me with different flavors. I know there are others that claim to be the "best" at creating a multitude of beverages but they can't compare to … [Read more...]
Logitech HD Pro Webcam C910 | Review
July 2, 2011 by 4 Comments
The first webcam I have ever used was on my HP Pavilion laptop. I can't say it was the greatest because I had nothing to compare it to. The picture wasn't as clear as I thought (really grainy) and the connection was terrible. Maybe it was because of my cable modem - who knows. All I know is that the picture never looked like what I thought a webcam should have -- a clear picture. That is until I used the Logitech® HD Pro Webcam C910. … [Read more...]
Verizon FIOS: The Switch That Made The Difference #MC
June 30, 2011 by 6 Comments
Disclosure: I wrote this review while participating in a Test Drive campaign by Mom Central on behalf of Verizon FiOS and received a free trial of the products and services necessary to facilitate my review. Verizon FIOS (Fiber Optic Service) has been in my neighborhood for the past two years. The deals Verizon had enticed most of my neighbors to switch cable providers but I wasn't so convinced. Since Time Warner was our cable/internet provider for many years, I guess you can say we were too … [Read more...]
Shopping at Brookstone for Father’s Day
June 16, 2011 by 5 Comments
If I had choose any store to buy the perfect gift for my husband, the wonderful father of our three lovely kids, it would have to be Brookstone. I can literally buy him dozen of items and spend thousands of dollars from that store alone! It's like a HUGE playground for the males I know. Recently I was invited to preview some of the hottest items perfect for Father's Day at the Brookstone store at Rockefeller Center in New York City. Since my dad isn't around anymore … [Read more...]

If you’ve been following my blog for awhile, than you’ve seen the cool button from Keurig I’ve been sporting for a few weeks. I am proud to announce that I am one of Keurig’s K-Cup Ambassador.

I can tell you that I have been a lover of coffee ever since I can remember. It’s funny because I used to sneak in a … [Read more...]

*CONTEST NOW CLOSED*Congratulations to Claudia N. You are New York Chica's newest winner! Can you feel the warm weather coming our way? It's finally Spring and I'm excited.

With Summer comes white and … [Read more...]
Healthy Choice Frozen Meals | Review
May 8, 2011 by 7 Comments
Getting and staying healthy is something very important to me. With so many obese individuals in this country, I vowed to eat right, feed my family healthy foods and snacks and stay away from processed foods as much as possible. Fact #1: According to the Center for Disease Control (CDC), two-thirds of American adults are overweight or obese, which puts them at increased risk for heart disease, diabetes and the metabolic syndrome. But eating healthy isn't always cheap, it can be quite … [Read more...]
Personality Quiz: What’s Your Favorite Pine-Sol Scent? (iPad2 Contest)
May 2, 2011 by 8 Comments
I grew up with Pine-Sol. It's the one scent that reminds me when I was a kid, I would see my mom clean the floors almost daily (she was a clean freak) with her mop and bucket. When I would come home from school, the aroma always made me feel fresh and clean. Now that I'm an adult with children, I want to make sure my floors are clean and my home smells fresh. That is why I choose Pine-Sol Original Scent. It deodorizes, cleans well and disinfects. I love the fact that it's also safe to … [Read more...]
Ocean Spray Sparkling Juice | Review
April 11, 2011 by 4 Comments
I have a little confession to make: I absolutely LOVE soda. If it were calorie-free (I don’t drink or like diet soda), I would drink it every day. But since its all sugar (high-fructose corn syrup to be exact) and about 150 calories a serving, I drink it on occasion. Recently I was contacted by Ocean Spray® offering to send me some samples of their new sparkling juice to try out, which comes in two flavors; cranberry and Pomegranate-blueberry. Ocean Spray® Sparkling Juice is made with 70 … [Read more...]
