There are people who are natural-born teachers, not me. There are people who love exercising, not me. There are people who love iced coffee, not me. There are people who love to speak in front of a crowd, not me. There are people who crave attention - good or bad, not me. There are people who think they're always right (well me too. Lol just kidding), Not me! There are people who put their kids on a pedestal in an annoying way, not me. There are people who will express their … [Read more...]
Shout-Out Sunday – 10/24
October 24, 2010 by 1 Comment
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 Niri and Kim who both have taught me … [Read more...]
Shout-Out Sunday – 10/10

Since July of this year, I started 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 Niri and … [Read more...]

Mom Ramblings: Motherhood And Blogging Are A Lot Like Oil And Water
August 20, 2010 by 10 Comments
It's true. When comparing motherhood and blogging, oil and water comes to mind. Sometimes it's so hard for me to mix the two. Somewhere along the line I have to find balance but motherhood usually wins. I have three children, I can't help it. I'm a mom first, then a blogger -- the way is should be, right? This summer has been extremely busy and full of swimming lessons and camp a few days a week for my younger two. So when there are no lessons or camp and the weather is way too hot to … [Read more...]
The Good and The Bad of BlogHer ’10 – August 6-7
August 9, 2010 by 22 Comments
I can't believe it! I did it! I survived BlogHer '10. If you haven't heard what BlogHer is (who hasn't?), it's a blogging conference where women (& some dad bloggers too) gather together and share their views and opinions on anything and everything through their blogs. They blog about parenting, cooking, places to see and eat, traveling -- basically anything you can think of, someone is blogging about it. The conference is an event that happens once a year since 2005 and it consists of … [Read more...]

YouCake + MoonSoup = FUN!
June 4, 2010 by Leave a Comment
A few weeks ago, I was invited by my lovely friend Nancy to attend the YouCake event that was held at the MoonSoup. If you don't know what YouCake is, let me explain. YouCake is a custom-made cake topper (can be from any photo) that's made from edible ingredients. It's made out of corn starch, sugar & food coloring (edible ink) - that's it! The topper is totally edible, tastes great and looks beautiful at the same time. The cake toppers are kosher, allergen-free, gluten-free & … [Read more...]
Wordless Wednesday – Rainbow Cloud
May 19, 2010 by 4 Comments
If you saw my WW two weeks ago, you'll probably think that I've been in a "sky mood" lately seeing the sky once again here for Wordless Wednesday. At that time, it was me that was finally happy to see the blue sky instead of gray clouds and rain. This time my daughter pointed out that the sky had a "Rainbow Cloud." I didn't understand her because I was driving but when I pulled over to see what she meant, I couldn't believe my eyes. I never saw something like that in my life so this was … [Read more...]
31 Days to Build a Better Blog Challenge – Day 2
March 4, 2010 by Leave a Comment
Today's challenge is: Day 2: Make A List Post When it comes to blogging, I'm not much of a "list-poster". I make lists (like shopping lists) but not all the time. However, I've done a few list posts in the past but I only found one. I had to look through my old blog archives to find it. It was a post that Jerry Springer inspired me to write. I know, I know, that show is trash TV but believe me, I'm not the one that records it (hubby does). If it were up to me, I wouldn't see … [Read more...]
