I remember visiting my grandparents every weekend when I was a little girl. I was always filled with excitement when I knew we were going over. My grandparents were my parent the first 3 months of my life because my mother got very sick after she had me. I guess you can say that is the reason why I had a special bond with them -- not because they are my grandparents. My abuelo (grandfather) was the chef of the house. He would always create the tastiest meals ever. Everyone would come … [Read more...]

December 3, 2010 by 9 Comments
Yesterday was a HUGE day in the blogosphere, especially if you've been following the #DisneySMMoms hashtag (Disney Social Media Moms) and are a Disney freak like I am.

We were ready with all of our information, personal and blog related, ready with our credit cards in hand and waiting to GET IN the conference of the year.

Last Night, I Went to Jail….during a party.
December 2, 2010 by 1 Comment
Made you look! Just kidding. I'm talking about Twitter Jail. ;) If you unfamiliar with Twitter jail, let me explain. It happens when you go over your allotted tweets for the hour or the day. For instance, the amount of tweets you're allowed are 100 tweets per hour/1,000 tweets per day. If you go over those tweets, you can no longer tweet until an hour or so later. During a Twitter party, that can really suck which is why I decided to create another Twitter handle. Last night was a … [Read more...]

“Family Flick Night” Gift Pack Giveaway
November 29, 2010 by 211 Comments
How does going to the movies for FREE sound to you? Sounds good, uh? I don't know about you but I don't remember the last time my family and I went to the movies. Number one reason: It's quite expensive, especially when there's five people going. Between the movie tickets, popcorn, drinks for everyone AND candy, the price of a movie outing can easily cost approximately $60 (depending where you live). You know for $60, you can buy a few bags of groceries, right? That is exactly why I … [Read more...]
Cyber Monday Deals – 2010
November 29, 2010 by 4 Comments
If you missed Black Friday deals, don't fret. I did too. There's something about standing on line in the FREEZING cold, waiting for the doors to open so that I can get a deal of the century that I do not like. I rather shop in the comfort of my own home with my pj's sipping on hot chocolate on Cyber Monday. Here are some deals I have found to be a great deal today and some even thru tomorrow! Aeropostale -- Cyber Monday Deals ALL DAY LONG. Aerosoles -- Save an extra 20% off any purchase … [Read more...]
Shout-Out Sunday – 11/28
November 28, 2010 by Leave a Comment
HAPPY SUNDAY EVERYONE! There’s a new trend here at New York Chica where I give a special Shout-Out to those bloggers who had a great post (at least I think so ) for the week. I wanted to show my readers that there are plenty of great writers/bloggers out in the blogosphere and giving props to fellow bloggers is a great way to give back to the blogging community. Since I started blogging in 2006 (2008 publicly), I’ve met so many good, sincere and accomplished bloggers like … [Read more...]
Easy Recipe: Guineos En Escabeche (Sabroso Saturday)
November 27, 2010 by 28 Comments
When I was pregnant with my son, I didn't get too many cravings but when I did, let me tell you, they were very strong. They were so strong that it was all I thought about. I wasn't that "crazy" pregnant woman that would send her husband to the store at 3 in the morning to get chocolate or whatever the craving was. I was patient, in a way. I did drink milk every single day because that was one of the things I craved and it was not because it was good for me or the baby. The one thing that … [Read more...]
