Unfortunately, that's life when you have kids. Here's why... My family and I had plans to see Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince today. We had it planned since Wednesday, which was the official start day for the movie. We also wanted to make Sunday a "Family Fun Movie Day" since my husband has been working so much lately. It's really his only day off out of the week. We were all excited to see it, including my 4 year old. She especially loves Harry Potter. I think it's because … [Read more...]
Photo Hunters: ROCK!
July 18, 2009 by 9 Comments
My friend Rebecca over at New York Traveler loves to post for Photo Hunters and she always has very interesting photos. I love them all. This time she invited me to join in on the fun. The two photos below were taken last week at Central Park by the Delacorte Theatre. My 4 year old saw the huge rock and quickly wanted to "walk" on the rock. So I got my camera and shot a few pictures and these were the best looking ones. I hope you enjoy them. If you want to join in, go right ahead! … [Read more...]
It’s the weekend! Time to save some money!
July 17, 2009 by 2 Comments
For me, saving money means buying things when they are on sale and also using coupons to save even more. I like to buy extra newspapers so that I can have extra coupons for the items I use alot, like cereals, juice and breakfast foods. I have 3 kids under 12 so I have to keep a full pantry of food or else I keep hearing "Mom, there's nothing to eat, I'm hungry!". And I don't want to hear that! Who does? I know it's alot of work to cut and sort coupons and most people don't have the time to … [Read more...]
I just had to share this with the world!

I've been neglecting my site because of so many reasons. The kids are home all.day.long, we're rarely home and when I am home, I have no time to concentrate (like right now, they're goofing around). I have so many things to write about but when it comes down to putting it all into words and complete sentences, I go blank. Hopefully that will change real soon. Anyway, I wanted to share some funny news with you all. As I was dressing my 4 year old daughter, she noticed some words on her … [Read more...]

Happy 4th of July – The Year 1995
July 3, 2009 by 2 Comments
I was looking through old photos and I found these below that were taken near the 4th Of July in 1995. This was a year before I had my son and when hubby and I were just dating; dating for 5 years to be exact. It was a great day. The sun was shining, people were full of so much joy and the Twin Towers were standing up high and proud. Ahhh, the good ol' days... Oh, how I miss them. So I hope you enjoy them as much as I do. Have a wonderful 4th Of July everyone! *double-click the … [Read more...]
If you don’t like it, say something!

Have you ever bought something because of a life changing decision (like losing weight) or just to try it out because you had a coupon or maybe even just because? Well, that happened to me. After going to the EA Sports Active event in NYC, I decided to make some changes to my diet and also add a workout regimen to tone up for the Summer. So I went and bought Hellmann's "light" Mayonnaise, among other things like fruits and veggies. As soon as I opened up the jar, I could tell by the … [Read more...]

I'm on Facebook!! Isn't everyone on it anyway? At first I didn't think I would be hooked but I am. I'm truly ADDICTED! I was also happy when I was told that you can personalize your spot with your own name too. I think it makes it unique, unlike Myspace. So, don't forget to follow my blog and friend me! http://www.facebook.com/newyorkchica Thanks! … [Read more...]
