It seems like every weekend is becoming more and more exciting as we go on! However, this has also made me realize that summer is soon coming to a close. The mornings filled with cool breezes carry on throughout the day. Even the leaves are starting to change color, but Jersey City isn’t ready for summer to […]

The Brunswick School

Audio Doctor
Many years ago, when I was a kid living in Montreal, my parents owned an electronic store. I remember every day after school, I would come to the store and play with all the gadgets. I’d listen to music, tinker with the various speakers and amplifiers, and even close myself up in the theatre room […]
Maid In Hoboken (Jersey City)
When I became a mom I learned a few important lessons when it comes to managing life and juggling responsibilities: 1. Order whatever you can online. 2. Keep it Simple. 3. Write EVERYTHING down. 4. If you can outsource help. DO IT!! Since I started ChicpeaJC I’ve been asked multiple times for a cleaning service […]
New Bridge Laundry
When I lived in Manhattan I was frequently using wash and fold services because there was no washer and dryer in my building… that and I was a little spoiled.

modcup
Coffee. Oh how I love thee. I was first introduced to modcup at one of the Jersey City Street Fairs and I was in love. I normally dump half a LB of Splenda or sugar in my coffee to mask the bitterness but not with modcup; the coffee has this natural sweetness that I was able to […]
Modern Family Dentistry
Photographer: Greg Pallante When I think of going to the dentist I shudder. I remember when I was a kid living in Montreal, my parents would take me to this old scary dude that was not gentile AT ALL. Since then I’ve always had this fear of going to the dentist and until now haven’t […]
