So New York Chica has been through yet another blog redesign. As a blogger, I feel a blog should be refreshed at least once a year. It makes for new content for those days we are having writer's block which happens to me way too often. But sometimes change is good. We all need that extra "oomph" to get our ideas out. Right? So I contacted Jacqui from Wacky Jacqui Designs and told her I was ready for another change (she designed my blog once before) and she was as usual, very helpful … [Read more...]
Ramblings: Do You Know Who I like More?
August 1, 2011 by 6 Comments
That was the question that started a conversation between my six-year-old and I in my bedroom - "Do you know who I like more?" You know the saying, there's always a child a parent "likes" more than the other(s)? Well, as for me, that's not true. I love/like all my kids the same but differently because that's what they are -- different. Apparently my 6-year-old, my baby -- the one I carried for 9 months, likes one parent more than the other. The reason: I don't give into her requests for … [Read more...]

July 16, 2011 by 4 Comments
{Scroll down below for a slideshow} Recently I went to a cooking class at the French Culinary Institute where I was invited by FAGE (pronounced Fa-yeh) to cook alongside with other bloggers. Honestly, I never bought FAGE yogurt nor have I tasted it but I was intrigued on how to incorporate yogurt into everyday cooking so I obliged. Here's a little history: The Beginning: In 1926, Athanassios Filippou opened a small dairy shop in Athens, Greece. At the time, the shop’s location was … [Read more...]

Wordless Wednesday – City Island Fun (#linky)
June 1, 2011 by 16 Comments
I was looking through my photos yesterday and decided it was a good time to transfer my precious photos to my portable drive. There has been too many close calls with my computer and my husband is blaming my blogging for mishaps. I couldn't agree with him more.

Ok, so I did say this was a "Wordless" Wednesday so let me just show you the pics I chose for this week ;): These … [Read more...]
Bloggers Share Their PERFECT Mother’s Day
May 7, 2011 by 21 Comments
Mother's Day, to most moms, is a day to relax and unwind according to the bloggers I "interviewed." It's not a day for extravagant gifts or have brunch or dinner at a fancy restaurant. Most of us moms just want the day off to do absolutely nothing. And there's nothing wrong with wanting a day to ourselves. Moms work hard all year long and on our special day (although Mother's Day should be everyday), we just want to be filled with lots of love, no mommy duties and lots of scrumptious … [Read more...]
