Cubantime Calendar Countdown 2021 Part I

 

HolaHolaHola Beautifuls!

No se about y’all but for BB 2020 was a Blurb y 2021 a Buzz, como un bee, flying by y Babushka trying to be stingfree. So far, so good. Pero she must admit, the blogging has taken a bit of a back seat. Between acting, daily mini posts (IGrammy, Feibu y Tweety) and living, the New Year goal of monthly resumens (never resolutions- BB knows herself too well pa’ eso) Babushka's running on Cubantime. Seeing we’re halfway through the año, parece a good time to start playing Cuban Catchup. So ponte los cinturones Beautifuls, aqui vamos!

January-Enero

Started 2021 en Casa BB with Sweetie. A traditional mixed cultural cena of many items including lechon, sauerkraut, black eyed peas, shrimp, sidra and of course the 12 grapes to pop into our bocas at midnight , one for each bong of the clock, while jumping to each bong. Quee?? Cubanos do one thing at a time?  JU SO FONII!!

January 2

The next dia we started a new tradition, visiting St.Augustine with son MAC and his Minions. Of course a trip to San Agustin wouldn't be complete without a trip to the Busy Bee. Once all the senses were satisfied, off to meet la familia!

 So San Agustin will see BB and her Bunch again in 2022. 

ESO! 👍

Ok, not gonna go dia por dia, porque then it'll be Crisma by the time Babushka posts. 

Sooooo.... video con todo!!

Then Febrero- the month of Love.

And BB knows no greater love than love of Grands-

Except the love of donuts.

He had never gone inside the Dunkin.

Grandchild #5

Trip to the INSIDE of a Dunkin Donuts with BB.

Oh my. The variety... His eyes glazed over- just like the donuts!!

Took him over 5 minutes, 

but he picked two, and this was the verdict.

And now the month's video highlights-

March

Wow and Woah.

 Oh Google, JU SO FONII!!

Ya really shouldn't count the places/times BB and Sweetie had to stop for pp breaks...

And there Beautifuls are the first 3 months of BB's 2021.

Truth be told, seemed to take longer to write the post about them than to live them...

Babushka Besos a todos. Cuidensen.

July is for Independence, and We’re Half Way There- #TBT @ConexionFlorida July 2021

Written for @ConexionFlorida July 2021 Edition. 

This one is very close to BB's corazon. 

Original graphic by Breathe Play Love

HolaHolaHola Beautifuls!

“July is for Independence, and We’re Half Way There” is the title of this writing. Of course you know Babushka’s a lover of Twofers, so this escrito has many meanings, many subtopics, many ways to look at it. Just like La Vida verdad? Empesamos in the beginning.

Those of us living in the US like to celebrate the 4th of July, the country’s independence day. The day the colonists declared their independence from England.  It was a battle hard fought, many loses, but in the end it was won. From there came much learning, mucho growing, but the nation became stronger and in time became a poder to be reckoned with. In comparison with other nations, the United States of America is young, in its mere 245 years has seen much, done much. But there is so much yet to do and be.

IG mistterjin

They say a country is a reflection of its people- or are the people a reflection of the country? Reflection. In the title we state “July is for Independence, and We’re Half Way There”, Half Way There because the year is half done, as is the mission of independence and freedom our forefathers spoke of and promised. How many promises have we made Beautifuls? With the best of intentions, what resolutions are still valid and intact at this midpoint? July, a good month to relive our history, with open hearts and ojos abiertos. Time for our truth and to begin again. Nuestro pais, our peace, National civility, personally being civil. To live by the words ,”For All”. As promised to us, as we hold to be self evident. Let us live the vision that made this country, and hope in turn the country will become that vision. There is much yet to do and be.

Music fights against Social Injustice

May the reflection we see and live be one we can All live with.

Babushka Besos a todos. Cuidensen.

A Cinderella Story: Starstruck - Fairy Tales have come a long way. #CinderellaStarstruck

A country girl with Hollywood dreams. #CinderellaStarstruck 

Babushka was sent the DVD for review.

Warner Bros. Entertainment

HolaHolaHola Beautifuls!

It's midnight, perfecto hora to write about Cinderella no creen? Back when BB was bb, her favorite Princesa was Cinderella. The mystery of identity and the comeuppance at the end, and of course the romance were part of the enchantment. The same is true in this version, pero with so much more!

Let's start with the studio synopsis-

Finley Tremaine (played by Bailee Madison), a small-town farm girl, longs to spread her wings and soar as an aspiring performer. When a Hollywood film crew arrives in her sleepy town, she is determined to land a role in the production and capture the attention of handsome lead actor Jackson Stone (played by Michael Evans Behling). Unfortunately, a botched audition forces her to change course. Now, disguised as cowboy “Huck,” Finley finally gets her big break. But can she keep the charade a secret from everyone, including her evil stepmother (played by April Telek) and devious step-siblings (played by Lillian Doucet-Roche and Richard Harmon)?

Looks like fun verdad?

Also fun and yummy was the actual dvd and cookies. Porque all movies should have snacks right??

cookies by Little Sparks Cookies

The pelicula, though the tema wasn't new, Babushka enjoyed the new take. Si, it's still about dreams, has struggles and romance, pero not quite like before. En este, Cinderella (Finley) wants to be a performer (ya saben that right there BB was rooting for her) , but of course her wicked stepfamily will have nada doing for that. Another modern angle on that familia was having a male figure, but they were still as uppity as the originals, and the nuance was much enjoyed. Pero the best part for BB was when Finley claimed her worth and selfbelief  to all. Si, she did get the principe and her dreams, but it was on her terms, her way.  She was her own fairy godmother. Eso!

A Cinderella Story: Starstruck will be available on Digital for $14.99 SRP ($14.99 in Canada), and on DVD for $19.98 SRP ($24.98 in Canada)

Here's to being our own fairy godmothers.
