We all know that winter is the most important time to keep your skin well moisturized. In fact, I recently wrote all about one of my favorite lotions. If you haven't read my post about Lubriderm, click anywhere on this link to learn more about it. Most of us know that feeling of dry, flaky, itchy skin during this time. You'll find me applying lotion in the morning, throughout the day and before I go to bed. I'm always applying moisturizer where ever I am. Being that I use lotion so much, I … [Read more...]
Happy Easter All!
April 20, 2014 by Leave a Comment
Just wanted to wish everyone a Happy Easter since it's been kinda quiet around here lately. I've been under the weather for over a week. I think I developed severe allergies or have a nasty cold that just won't go away. My sinuses have been so congested since last Friday, I can hardly think. It's been rough the last week. I couldn't take another day congested so I headed out to Kmart to buy a humidifier. I'm praying it works because I can't afford to lose anymore sleep! Anyway, I'm off to … [Read more...]
Saying Good-Bye to My Favorite Disney Ornaments — Yes, My Christmas Tree is Still Up!
January 12, 2013 by 4 Comments
I know what you're thinking, why is my tree still up? Is she crazy? It's the 12th of January. But guess what? Vera from Lady and The Blog has her tree up too. So there! :) I know Christmas came and went over 18 days ago. Usually I like to keep the tree up til' after Three Kings Day even if we even if we don't officially celebrate it. It's something my mom would do when I was a kid. So I figured six days after Three Kings Day isn't too bad. Right? I'll blame work and being … [Read more...]
Parenting Debate: To Dorm or Not To Dorm…
October 13, 2012 by 8 Comments
That is the question in our household these days. It's left unanswered because we can't agree on the same thing.....yet. Ever since my son's college night at his school, we've been debating whether or not he should dorm in college. My husband and I are on opposite sides of the spectrum and can't seem to come to an agreement. I say he dorms because it would be great for him. It would teach him so much about life. It would also teach him about responsibility and independence, among lots … [Read more...]
Ramblings: An Update on Life…
July 10, 2012 by 12 Comments
Where do I even start? My mind is going a mile a second and I can't even get my thoughts processed correctly these days. It's been almost nine months since I started working full time and I've got to be honest, it's been difficult for me. On top of my thyroid condition (I HATE it!), being anemic and feeling tired all the time - it's hard for me! It's especially difficult knowing that my kids won't have much of a summer because both parents are working full time, five days a week, to get … [Read more...]
Mom Ramblings: A Poem Only Moms Will Get.
June 19, 2012 by 2 Comments
If you give a mom a muffin…. If you give a mom a muffin, She’ll want a cup of coffee to go with it. She’ll pour herself some. Her 3 year old will spill the coffee. She’ll wipe it up. Wiping the floor, she’ll find dirty socks. She’ll remember she has to do the laundry. When she puts the laundry into the washer, She’ll trip over boots and bump into the freezer. Bumping into the freezer will remind her, She has to plan for supper. She will get out a pound of hamburger. She’ll look … [Read more...]
Out of Sight, Out of Mind…
January 28, 2012 by 12 Comments
You're heard of this saying: out of sight, out of mind -- right? That quote says it all about my blogging life as well as my home life. As you may know, I started working full time three months ago. The first month was extremely hectic for me. I was not used to being in an office for eight hours a day AND not being home when the kids arrived from school. I was exhausted. I got sick for three weeks with bronchitis and a nasty cough that would linger all day long. The laundry accumulated. The … [Read more...]
What Happened To New York Chica?
November 6, 2011 by 24 Comments
It's like a ghost town around here these days, right? I assure you, my dear and lovely readers, I have not stopped blogging/writing on New York Chica. I guess you can say my site was on "hiatus." Why? Things have changed dramatically in my personal life within the past three-four weeks. During the second week of October, Green Mountain Coffee flew me and two other bloggers, Kelby and Kristen (Two of the sweetest women bloggers!) to Vermont for two full days of exploring and … [Read more...]
I’m On My Way To Blogalicious!
October 20, 2011 by 24 Comments
I can't believe it! I'm finally attending my second blog conference, Blogalicious. After two weeks of being extremely busy, even too busy to blog at times, I am looking forward to a full weekend of learning, networking, meeting new friends and seeing some old friends too. Right now, I'm blogging on the Amtrak train enjoying the unexpected FREE wi-fi! When I made reservations a few weeks ago, I saw that the trains with wi-fi were a hundred bucks more so I was a bit disappointed. I'm so happy … [Read more...]
Am I The Only Latina Not Celebrating El Dia De Los Reyes (The Three Kings Day)?
January 5, 2011 by 21 Comments
Brief history on El Dia De Los Reyes (The Three Kings Day): The twelve days of Christmas end with the Feast of Epiphany also called "The Adoration of the Magi" or "The Manifestation of God." Celebrated on January 6, it is known as the day of the Three Kings (or wise men/magi): Caspar, Melchior and Balthasar. According to an old legend based on a Bible story, these three kings saw, on the night when Christ was born, a bright star, followed it to Bethlehem and found there the Christ child … [Read more...]
