Time to milk Christmas!

With all the moving, the kids are outta control and I get it, its alot for them. My usual tactics this year have been threatening with texts and fake calls to Santa. This did work for a bit but now I was in need of a more drastic aaproach. Desperate times call for desperate measures, hence my new favorite app- Parents Calling Santa. I loves it!!

It has three choices, from just a good call, to a warning to getting put on the naughty list. It's working wonders for my 4 year old. Not only is she being good but
she is being helpful. So I'm milking this til Chrismas, after that well I'm gonna haveto find another app!

Stay Chic!

Not so fast....

Just when I thought I was all nice and settled in, ChicMom is on the move again. This time, destination Orlando, Florida. I cant believe it myself, but life has taught me that when opportunity comes knocking, you best open that door, cause you never know when it will happen again.

I'm enthralled with a mix of emotions. My previous moves where in the tri-state area. This is completely new territory I headed to. I'm excited about my proximity to Disney, the nice weather and getting my house with a pool BUT my heart is still heavy. I will miss all my friends and family. These are relationships that I've built all my life. Everyone that knows me, knows what a New York Chic I am. This will be interesting.

Brace yourself Orlando, Chicmom is on her way!

I'm back, I hope.....

OK guys, its time I get back to some writing. I've been busy with life for the last couple of months. My move from Long Island to Stamford, Ct has totally consumed me. Its my first week as a resident of Connecticut and the only thing I have gotten acquainted with is boxes and a deer that usually visits during dinner time.

OK I'm am so penciling you guys in......

Who needs a therapist?

It's September, many people view this as a new year, a fresh start. I know a few people who are turning to a therapists to help in the process. It seems to work for most, which have left me to wonder...should I venture? Their claims are of being able to vent, to let it all out. The weight of their burdens have been lifted off their back. How amazing is that *sigh* But what a minute!!! I do the same thing, just not with a "therapists". I vent to the world, my way is through blogging and Twitter. Whenever I complete a post I feel so light, so happy that I'm able to tell the world how I really feel. Ditto with Twitter, it has helped me keep my sanity many a days. The continuous positive feedback is nothing short of amazing. Tweeps I have never met have given me the encouragement and confidence that a good therapists may not have been able to do.

Why not try it? You can buy some nice stilettos with the cash you can save.

9/11

Remembering that day as if it were yesterday. I can't believe it's been eight years since that horrific event. While walking with total strangers from 43rd street in Midtown to the Bronx, I remember thinking "our world will never be the same". With the same token I was never more proud to be an American. The way people, TOTAL strangers pulled together to help one another is what I held on to that day.
Yes, there are cruel people in this world but there are also amazing people that act in heroic ways to protect one another.
God Bless America!
