Chicafessions: A New Series

Hey everyone!! Can you believe it's 2015? I can't. I clearly remember the 90's like it was yesterday but when I look at my license and see my date of birth, it immediately feels like a lifetime ago. Sigh......I guess that's life! So I turned 40 a couple of weeks ago. YAY!!!! I hear 40 is the new 30 from many people. We shall see.  So far it's been ok - nothing exciting except for my husband constantly yelling, "You've joined the 40-club with me"! Yeah, yeah... Age is just a number, … [Read more...]

Saying Good-Bye to My Favorite Disney Ornaments — Yes, My Christmas Tree is Still Up!

I know what you're thinking, why is my tree still up? Is she crazy? It's the 12th of January. But guess what? Vera from Lady and The Blog has her tree up too. So there! :) I know Christmas came and went over 18 days ago. Usually I like to keep the tree up til' after Three Kings Day even if we even if we don't officially celebrate it. It's something my mom would do when I was a kid. So I figured six days after Three Kings Day isn't too bad. Right? I'll blame work and being … [Read more...]

Ramblings: Christmas is Less Than A Week Away!

Where has the time gone? I started a full-time job on October 24th and things have gone so fast for me.  Christmas is less than a week away and I'm still not done with shopping. I actually started last week on Amazon.com and bought a few things for my kids but I still would like to get some little things here and there, you know like stocking stuffers. This year, I'm taking it easy.  I'm really just focusing on my kids.  And to be honest, that's the way it should be once you have children … [Read more...]

Shout-Out Sunday – 12/12

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 … [Read more...]

Wordless Wednesday – 2 More Days Til’ Christmas

I found this picture just a few days ago. I really don't remember taking this picture but I'm so happy I found it. I must've been 12 or 13 years old so it was probably in 1989. I wish I could remember taking this photo but I can't. At least I have the photo to prove it! From our family to yours, hope you have a fantastic holiday! … [Read more...]
