The Reason for The Season.

AD The Bible Continues- BluRay Discw/Spanish Audio

"From executive producers Roma Downey ("The Bible") and Mark Burnett ("The Bible", "The Voice") comes an uplifting spiritual journey through the later chapters of biblical history. "A.D. The Bible Continues" picks up where the smash hit miniseries "The Bible" left off, continuing the greatest story ever told and exploring the exciting and inspiring events that followed the Crucifixion of Christ. The immediate aftermath of Christ's death had a massive impact on his disciples, his mother, Mary, and key political and religious leaders of the era, completely altering the entire world in an instant. Beginning at that fateful moment of the Crucifixion and the Resurrection, "A.D. The Bible Continues" will focus on the disciples who had to go forward and spread the teachings of Christ to a world dominated by political unrest, and the start of a whole new religion that would dramatically reshape the history of the world. Jesus (Juan Pablo Di Pace) dies on the cross at the hands of the Romans, deserted by even his most loyal followers. Peter (Adam Levy) and the disciples are hunted by Temple authorities led by High Priest Caiaphas (Richard Coyle) and Roman soldiers under orders from Governor Pontius Pilate (Vincent Regan). For the tiny band of followers, every day is a fight for survival, and their mission to spread the word to the world seems impossible. Yet, they have hope and soon they have power: the amazing miracle of the Resurrection and the shocking arrival of the Holy Spirit upon them all at Pentecost enables them to inspire more and more people to join. The growing church brings challenges for Peter, John (Babou Alieu Ceesay) and Mary Magdalene (Chipo Chung), who are pushed to the limit, they face trials and imprisonments, persecutions and punishments while trying to understand the God-given power granted to them as they transition from the sorrow of Christ's ultimate sacrifice to the awe-inspiring wonder of the Resurrection and beyond."

TREMENDO PREMIO VERDAD??  BUENISIMO right Beautifuls??!!

HolaHolaHola Beautifuls!!

This book and series hasTwofers ALL OVER THE PLACE!  

And you KNOW how BB just loves that.  

Con 5 (soon to be 6) Grands, it can be challenging to get them interested in something that doesn't need batteries. Seems almost everything they like is electronic. How nice to be able to share with them a libro. Quee?? JU SO FONII si, an actual book- not an app, or a book on a screen, but a hard covered, pages need turning, book. Oh, and not only is this a book, but it's about a sport, one that actually has children go outside!! Baseball!! Siguen leyendo, keep reading; BB's sure you'll like the next base.

The Hometown All Stars is a book series for children that focuses on teaching early sports skills along with interactive, educational activities, and more importantly – fun! Kids ages 3-7 years old and parents, teachers, librarians, and others who want to promote “Less Screen, More Green” and get kids outside and active again! The Hometown All Stars series is also for parents who don’t know much about baseball and want to be ahead of the curve when their kids begin to play, for sports enthusiasts looking for a book that doesn’t involve talking animals to read at bedtime to their children, and for anyone interested in promoting the love of baseball and sports overall to a new generation. Visit the site at www.TheHometownAllStars.com

HOMETOWN ALL STARS AT A GLANCE

Nick’s Very First Day of Baseball

Another Twofer- Not only do children get tips, but so do grownups!  Suggestions and examples for both groups on how to be a true team player and help the team.

Magic Bat Day

Add caption

This book concept shows techniques of how to hold the bat and where to stand. Most importantly, it shows that every kid can find their own ‘magic’ bat and the magic within themselves to hit the ball!

The magic of sport, baseball and team work estan all over en este. The story really could be applied to so many levels is ALL our lives Beautifuls!

BUY The Books & Help Others!

BUY Magic Bat Day for $12.99 (Print) or $3.99 (Digital)

BUENISIMO verdad?

What Babushka truly liked about the series are the things it's teaching-without preaching.  There are children of different colors, sexes, ethnicities, all playing together, and it shows that warmup and focus are part of the game too. Now how wonderful a world seria if we all applied this to how we live verdad? The series also shows how math can be translated to baseball for another angle parents can use in teaching their children. There are MANY lessons here for parents, making this a series the familia completa can share, learn from and enjoy.   Para mas information and to follow this great team-

Sweetie & his Shark. @SharkCleaning

BB received the Shark Rocket ® Powerhead for review. All opinions expressed are exclusively Babushka's & Sweetie, especially Sweetie's.  After all, he's the one who'll be using it.

HolaHolaHola Beautifuls!

Back in July, Babushka attended the #Blogher15 Expo in New York. Wow and Woah. Como tenian booths!! Wonderful exhibits, sponsors, products, campaigns, all over the place! Todos muy nice, very interesante and entertaining, pero there was one in particular that BB just stood staring at... the Shark Cleaning booth. Limpiar? JU SO FONII!!! If you know BB, cleaning isn't one of her greatest passions, matter of fact, she doesn't do it at all. However, they were nice gente, so Babushka humored them by trying out their latest model, the Shark Rocket ® Powerhead . BUENISIMO!!  Light, purty and powerful, this is BB's take.

Pero we have to let the final user be the judge.  So they promised to send it to Sweetie.

Couldn't have asked for a better delivery date.  

Two days before Thanksgiving, and just as he was about to start cleaning for guests we got this beauty.

En un 1,2,3, Sweetie had opened and assembled the Shark Rocket ® Powerhead 

and then with no further ado

Are you seeing that Beautifuls? Sweetie's really getting into it.

This is what BB was told about the Shark Rocket ® Powerhead :

·        
 Weighs a total of nine pounds,not including the cord, and less than one pound in hand when vacuuming

 Interchangeable brushrolls are easy to assemble and clean via innovative roller garage

Carpet & Floor Brush and Gentle Touch Hard Floor Brushroll clean carpets, rugs and hard floor surfaces

Fingertip Controls for easy transitions between hard floors, carpet and area rugs

·        
Multi-position adjustable heights tailored to personal preference and compact storage

Breakthrough engineering combines motor and dust cup in the head of the vacuum, reducing airflow path and maximizing efficiency and power

And THIS is what Sweetie said about it-

"

De verdad he's like a little boy with a new toy car.
"Didcha see how it took those angles?" "It followed every movement."  "It's even got headlights!" 

and after emptying out the dust holder-
"Wow honey, and I thought I cleaned well before...we had a lot of dirt!"

Next thing BB knows, Sweetie's out the puerta with escoba in hand!

Y despues hablan de Cubanas!! 

Had to remind him that brooms are good for getting things in upper corners like cobwebs and such, porque si no, out and ready for trash pickup that would have gone.

So now we're ready for our Thanksgiving guests with nice and clean floors, another thing we get to be thankful for.  Along with you Beautifuls. We're ALWAYS grateful each time you dance with Babushka.  

Feliz Thanksgiving and may the dia be filled with joy, love & realization of blessings. 

Y also Pumpkin Pie & Pavo 'till ya POP!!!

Summer of the Gypsy Wagon - #Familia #FloridaKeys #Ford

@Ford_Southeast lent Babushka & Sweetie the Ford Transit, but the story, opinions and memories are totally our own.

HolaHolaHola Beautifuls!!

BB can hear y’all now. “Summer?? Pero Babushka, it’s fall!! Talk about running Cubantime!!!” 

Ok si, we’re now nearing Thanksgiving and there’s a nip in the air. That’s exactly why this memory came to mind.

Unlike the lower part of our beloved state, Up North in The South starts to have a season change in November and the temperatures really can dip.  Around now, when we start to plan out the menu for Thanksgiving, we also start to look back at the events of the year and begin our fond recollections of the blessings enjoyed till now.  It was actually cold enough this weekend that Sweetie started taking out winter clothing, and the memories of the year's summer adventure came out with them.

“You remember the great time we had at the Keys hun?”  “The Gypsy wagon was a beaut wasn’t it? Wouldn’t mind going on another trip with her.”   “You know, we really could camp out in her with no problem at all. Now wouldn’t that be great?”

Quee? Esta bien, it didn't have all those BB markings on it, but it did have the following that made it feel like ours.

Vieron to' eso Beautifuls? Chargers in the back, in the front, cup holders all over too!! Y con BB you KNOW you have to have all those little compartment spaces for the various pamphlets, cameras, cell phone, tablets... things we all carry everyday. The Gypsy Wagon was a diesel and mas que amplio, so it was ready for any clase de trip we'd ask of her. Roomy, spacious, note the amount of trunk space,the bags fit comfortably- and so did Sweetie!! Look at that smile on him. Midiendo 6'4" there aren't many vehicles he can stand straight in.

To tell the truth Beautifuls, when we first saw the Ford Transit, we were "OMAIGAA, it's a bus!" Babushka had expected the midsize version, pero knowing we were going to visitar The Grands they sent the grande. Believe it or not, when we decided to go ahead and drive, it drove like any other car!! Unbelievable pero cierto. Matter of act, es mas, BB forgot it wasn't regular size and nicked it on the top in a parking garage. Also unbelievable, pero cierto. Quee? JU SO FONII!!! Ok si, maybe not so unbelievable.

Oh, what fun adventures we had in the Gypsy Wagon!! From mid state Lake Wales, to Miami, down to the Florida Keys, back through Miami and then ending at Lake Wales again. TREMENDO VIAJE y TREMENDO TRANSIT!!

Just a sampling of what's to come.

#ViveMejor appreciates Classic Beauty. AKA Happy Cumples to BB!!

This post is a Giveaway sponsored by Babushka's much querido ViveMejor .  

All opinions expressed are exclusively BB's.  No one else would take credit for them.

HolaHolaHola Beautifuls!!

Now before y’all get excited, BB’s Cumples was in September, and though it was celebrated all month long - Quee,you thought One Day was suficiente?? JU SO FONII!!! Babushka didn’t really write about it too much. So imaginate the sorpresa when this came in the mail-

BELLEZA!!!

Porque they appreciate BB and KNOW her style!!

Y ESTO porque they TRULY appreciate BB and know her needs!!

From mis querido ViveMejor- And You wonder why BB loves them so!!!!

Productos known for their moisturizing powers for those of us with Classic Beauty.

(That sounds so much prettier than Vieja verdad?)

Sea Mineral Moisturizing Texture & Body Shampoo and Conditioner, 

"infused with richminerals from the sea, gives hair buoyant body without compromising on moisture."

Caress Daily Silk White Peach & Silky Orange Blossom
"will effectively cleanse skin while providing moisture and a long lasting scent of Orange Blossom."

Beautifuls, this is one I can't get enough of. Primeramente ,it reminds me of mi abuela Mima. It has a scent of rose and encompasses you in abrazos which you feel and smell all day.  BB used to put baby oil after showering to maintain the soft skin feeling, pero with this it truly isn't needed. Now Babushka wants to try the whole Silkening line!

& the Clasico of ALL Clasicos-

Pond's Cold Cream

BB remembers and knows that the theater lives on Pond's cold cream, it's the staple in all dressing rooms.  For over 100 years this has been much beloved and used, "combining gentle deep cleansing with moisture that stays locked in." Just straightforward and  uncomplicated, it really is a perfecto match for Babushka right?!!

Ahora, knowing how much y'all mean to BB they wouldn't leave you out of the celebration-

a giveaway for the same productos they sent will be given to 3 of my Beautifuls!!

Viste? Didn't exagerar with how wonderful they are!!

Here's to Getting Older and having gente around you who wouldn't want you any other way!!

Part of the adventures and pleasures of life is opening one's mind and corazon to other cultures.  To learn more about my fellow Earthdwellers is interesante y importante to Babushka. We are after all, vecinos, and with social media and the internet, getting closer and closer cada dia.  Recently BB was introduced to the Hindu festival Diwali. Also known as the Festival of Lights, this holiday celebra the triumph of inner light overcoming spiritual darkness or ignorance, lo justo over wrong and lo bueno sobre lo malo. It’s a day of firecrackers, new clothes, sharing sweets con familia y amigos, celebrating the conquering of darkness by lighting small clay lamps and being filled with goodwill to todos.  

Beautifuls, as BB says in her bio, celebrates “the humaness” of all people. No suena esto, doesn’t this sound like, the activities, the feeling of our New Year Celebraciones? Vibes of newness, triumph,hope,celebration and love for others is what both are about. With more understanding of Indian Culture and global migration of people of Indian origin, the Festival of Lights has been celebrated in more and more countries. Although it’s mainly celebrated by Indian expatriates, in Australia and the Caribbean it is becoming parte del cultura general local.

This year Diwali cai Miercoles, November 11, 2015. Best Buy is helping to celebrate este festival with a special Diwali e-Gift Card, available online hasta Noviembre 15, 2015.  You can find this wonderful opportunity to share the feelings of love, hope and goodwill by going to the “Occasions” tab at www.bestbuy.com/egiftcard.
