Coming Soon!!

New York Chica will be sporting a new look!! As you can see my blog is under construction.  If you came by before and saw that the page was closed, it was because I know very little when it comes to computers and HTML.  I was on the phone for over an hour trying to fix my blog and hopefully in the next week my blog will be normal again.  I just need time to transfer all my posts, comments and "stuff". 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!

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...]
