September 29th is National Coffee Day!
Whoever thought of making a day National Coffee Day was brilliant. Although in my home, every day is coffee day. It's the liquid I need to help me get through the day. I need coffee. I love coffee. Without it, I wouldn't be human. Ok, ok, I'm kidding but I will not feel human if I don't have my daily cup of java. So in honor of National Coffee Day, I am sharing the spots where you can get a cup of free coffee. Who doesn't like free? I LOVE free! Starbucks If you buy 1 lb of … [Read more...]
#Sponsored: Sparkling Dishes with Cascade Platinum Pacs & An Instagram Contest #MyPlatinum
Disclosure: I participated in a campaign on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for Cascade. I received a product sample to facilitate my review and a promotional item as a thank you for participating. Growing up, I was the one who had dish-duty every single day. I’m the oldest of four girls so it was one of the many chores I needed to do on a daily basis. We lived in an apartment all my childhood life so washing dishes by hand was the norm for me. That is until my husband and I bought our first … [Read more...]
{Review} The Snugg iPad 2 Executive Case Cover and Stand in Black Leather
I recently received the Snugg iPad 2 Executive Case Cover and Stand in black leather for review and allow me to say that I am completely in love with it. I'm a proud owner of an iPad for about two years now and have been through iPad cases like crazy. Being a frugal mom, I haven't invested a lot of money on iPad cases. Consequently, I've ended up with low-quality cases. In just a few months of normal wear and tear, the cases start to rip on the sides and the stitching pulls away at the seams. … [Read more...]

I'm not sure if you can find them anywhere else but I sure know you can find them at your local Walgreens store. Thanks to Walgreens and The Motherhood, they are giving away a $50 Walgreens gift card to ONE lucky New York Chica reader. The rules … [Read more...]
Celebrating 101 Days of Summer Play with Banana Boat Natural Reflect Sunscreen.
Now that I'm a full-time working mom, I don't attend too many brand/blog events. It's either in the morning or in the afternoon when I have to be at work so I usually send one of my writers to represent New York Chica. Yesterday's blog event was different. It fell right on a SATURDAY! I was ecstatic when I received an invite to attend the 101 Days of Summer Play Event by Banana Boat®, held in the wonderful home of Amy aka SelfishMom. To be honest, I was quite honored. Lately I've been … [Read more...]
How Fun Are You? Keurig Wants to Know! | Plus, Enter To Win A Keurig Brewer! #YourPerfectCup
I've been told by my seven year old that I'm a "Fun Mom." I can't help but ask her if she thinks I'm fun when I send her to her room to clean it or when I tell her we can have breakfast for dinner. Needless to say, she disagrees with her own statement when I mention her room. I don't quite see myself as a "Fun Mom" as often as I should. I guess it's because I have too much on my mind, like say, REALITY -- bills, chores, cooking, cleaning -- all that good stuff us moms go through. The … [Read more...]
Giveaway: Enjoy 2012 with a Brand New Keurig Platinum Brewing System (Plus Two Boxes of K-Cup® Packs)
The holidays are officially over. No more gifts. No more tree. No more mess! Thank goodness. Now it's time for a brand new year. A new slate. As you may know, I'm a very proud owner of a Keurig Brewer. It's basically my lifeline in the morning. I love coffee. I need coffee. And I don't see myself drinking anything else in the morning to get me through the day. That is exactly why I was so happy to be part of an ambassador program from Green Mountain Coffee. I'm one of the K-Cup … [Read more...]

DreamWorks Pictures Presents “Real Steel” – Giveaway
A few weeks ago I wrote about the upcoming movie with the hunk Hugh Jackman in Real Steel. I have not seen it but I've heard from my fellow blogger peeps that the movie was FANTASTIC! About twenty LUCKY bloggers were flown to Hollywood for the red carpet premiere for the movie and I have to say I was a bit envious about not going but I was glad for the bloggers who did attend. From the trailer and reviews, I have to say that I cannot wait to see it. It's sad that I will miss an advance … [Read more...]
