Coming Soon!!

New York Chica will be sporting a new look!!

So be on the look out for a new and improved blog. In the meantime, go to … [Read more...]

Motherhood & Marriage

Why is it when you are alone, with no kids or your spouse in the house; you feel alive, free and calm. But after a few hours, you start to feel lonely, bored and sad. Then guilt hits you because you wanted to alone in the first place when you know you deserve some time to yourself. Why does that happen? Even though I’m a SAHM, I wouldn’t trade it for anything in the world, unless I have to financially. In my opinion, Motherhood and Marriage can suck at times but in the end, they're … [Read more...]

Blogging BLAH!

That is what I'm feeling.  This summer has been one of the most "blah" summers ever.  I can't wait for school to start because I will be searching for a job to get out of this rut.You may be wondering why I'm in a rut. Well, it's because I've been going thru family drama, upon family drama, upon family drama and I'm tired of it.  That is why I haven't been posting as much as before.  So, I'm taking a small break.  I may be back to post a pic or … [Read more...]

Go Olympics! – Blogthings

You Are Swimming You are an interesting set of contradictions. You are peaceful yet competitive. Graceful yet strong. You exist in your own private universe. What Olympic Sport Are You?I would have to agree with this.  Among all the Olympics sports, I would have to choose swimming.  I love the water, especially the pool. … [Read more...]

Friday Five on a Tuesday

Today is a beautiful day outside but I feel so lazy inside.  I just want to sit around in quietness and just listen to nature.  The birds are singing, bugs are making noise and the trees are swaying in the nice cool wind.  Quietness is NOT possible with 3 kids, a dog and a mother-in-law.  Either the TV is on, the kids are bickering or someone saying they are bored or hungry.  Can I have at least an hour of peace to myself??? Or is that asking for too much?? On another … [Read more...]

Kenye West Pocket Full of Sunshine by Nastasha Bedingfield Closer by Ne-yo Do you have any songs that … [Read more...]
