HolaHolaHola Beautifuls!

Being a Cuban Abuela, BB is a wealth of information, pero obviously not on everything and not necessarily up to date. Sooo glad to get the latest info in our next Tweety Fiesta!

Join Bloggin Mamas as we host the #AskDrPA Twitter Party on June 15, 2017 at 9p EST/ 6pm PST! We’ll be chatting about Back to School Physicals and Vaccinations with Pediatric Associates. There will even be a doctor on-hand to answer some of your questions. Plus, there’s a chance to win prizes too!

About Pediatric Associates

Pediatric Associates is Florida’s largest privately owned primary care pediatric practice, with more than 200 providers and 32 convenient locations extending from Jacksonville to Miami. Their facilities offer families comprehensive services, including X-ray and state certified laboratories. They are open 365 days a year with weekend, evening and holiday hours for your convenience. Their mission is to enhance the lives of all children and their families by delivering the highest quality pediatric healthcare in a compassionate and healthy environment.

With this chat, Pediatric Associates would like to inform parents of the importance of physicals, wellness visits and annual shots for your child – especially in preparation of them going back to school. If you haven’t scheduled your wellness visit/exams for your child for back to school, now is the time to book your appointments! You should also make sure your children are up-to-date on recommended vaccines. If your child is entering kindergarten or 7th grade, or plans on participating in a sport, they are required to have updated vaccinations.
During the chat, we will also be discussing back to school tips & recommendations for the summer, such as:
  • Keep them on a schedule so that, when it’s time to go back to school, they’re ready.
  • Maintain a consistent bedtime
  • Keep them reading (kids forget 80% of what they learn every year if they’re not consistently reinforcing it).
  • Help your kids stay active and ready to learn over the summer.

About Calroo

Calroo is a mobile app designed for busy Moms and Dads to help them coordinate their family schedule with each other. It combines a family calendar, to-do list, shopping lists and messaging in one easy-to-use app. It makes asking for help as simple as a swipe. The app is free to download, and everybody gets a free trial month of Calroo Pro. The iOS app is live on the Appstore, and an Android app is in the works - you can sign up for a beta today.

Featured in Forbes, Inc. and Huffington Post, Calroo makes it easy to coordinate a busy family schedule. Create shared calendar events, assign tasks to family members with a simple swipe, and manage shopping lists.

Is coordinating your family schedule a hassle? Do you wish it were easier to assign tasks and calendar appointments to your spouse or children? Do you use several apps, emails, texting and paper to keep track of events, tasks and shopping lists? Do you dream of having one central place where you could see, plan and manage all your family’s activities? Then Calroo is perfect for you!



Imagine how easy your life will be with Calroo:
• You know exactly who is doing what, with a color-coded family calendar that shows who is participating in each event or task
• You get reminder alerts for events and tasks you need to do – so that nothing slips through the cracks
• If you’re are stuck in traffic, you can hand off an appointment or task to your spouse or family member with a simple swipe
• Your grocery, shopping and packing lists are instantly shared and synced with your family members’ phones
• You can exchange messages and photos with you family members – so that you can be the engaged parent you always wanted to be

Calroo comes in two versions, free and premium. (Unlike other family calendar apps, even the free version of Calroo is completely ad-free). Here are the great features that are available on Calroo Pro:
• Ask family members for help with a simple swipe, or by clicking on the “Ask for help” button. Get an explicit confirmation that they accepted the handoff. Rest easy knowing that Johnny will get picked up from soccer practice.
• Control what your family members see on Calroo. Grant “limited access” to some of your family members like nanny, babysitter or grandparent. They only see the events or tasks that you want them to see on your family calendar.
• Keep private events private – like a surprise birthday party for your spouse.
• Your Google calendar will continue synching with your Calroo calendar in real-time. If any events get added, deleted or edited on your Google calendar, you will see those changes instantly reflected on Calroo.

When you sign up for Calroo, you and your family automatically get a free 30-day trial of Calroo Pro. After the trial, you and your family can continue enjoying Calroo Pro for just $1.99 per month or $19.99 per year*. Or you can keep getting it for free by referring new customers. For every new person you refer, you get an extra month of Calroo Pro for free, and so do they. If you do not upgrade or refer, your app will switch to the free version after 30 days. All your events, tasks and lists will still be there, and you can still use the free features.

Reduce stress, save time, get more help, and become the organized and engaged parent you always wanted to be. Try Calroo today!

$529 Towards The Grands Education. ESOOOO!!! #CollegeSavingsPlan #StartingIsBelieving #sweepstakes ad

This is a sponsored post between Florida Prepaid College and Bloggin' Mamas. Opinions and love expressed are all Babushka's.


Florida Prepaid Giveaway


HolaHolaHola Beautifuls!!!

With 6 Grands, you KNOW Babushka has to share this info correcto??  This isn't la primera vez that BB writes about the Florida Prepaid College gente.  Sometimes BB feels like they're parte de la familia. Bueno, actually they are. Over 20 years, first with The Trio and now con los nietos. A wonderful way for Florida residents to start their little loved ones on the path toward higher education. Y ahora an even bigger incentive. A giveaway to 10 families of $529 to go towards college. Can BB get an ESOOO!!??!!

Here are the details of the Florida 529 Savings Plan Scholarship Giveaway:
What: The Florida 529 Savings Plan Scholarship Program and you could be one of 10 lucky winners of a $529 scholarship deposited into a Florida 529 Savings Plan account.
When: Enter anytime between May 15 and June 11

Not quite sure what the 529 Savings plan es or how to start? Aqui tienes:

What is a 529 Savings Plan?
529 savings plans are named after section 529 of the Internal Revenue Code 26 U.S.C. § 529 and are designed to encourage saving for future higher education expenses of a designated beneficiary. Many states offer 529 savings plan options, including Florida Prepaid.
Money from a 529 plan can be used for tuition, fees, books, supplies and equipment required for study at any accredited college, university or vocational school in the United States and at some foreign universities. The money can also be used for room and board, as long as the fund beneficiary is at least a half-time student. Off-campus housing costs are covered up to the allowance for room and board that the college includes in its cost of attendance for federal financial-aid purposes. Qualified education expenses do not include student loans and student loan interest. There is legislation currently going through Congress that will expand the qualified expenses.
The Florida 529 Savings Plan can be started at anytime and only requires a $25 initial deposit to open. Even if you can’t save for your child’s entire college education, starting something is always better than doing nothing. The funds in a Florida 529 Savings Plan can be used for any qualified higher educational expense, including tuition, room & board, textbooks, graduate school and much more. This gives you extreme flexibility to use the funds as you see fit, for whatever your child may need. And should those needs change during his/her college years, individuals are free to adjust as well.
The Florida 529 Savings Plan offers you the ultimate in flexibility. Simply choose from the investment options, then contribute as much and as often as you’d like to suit your budget and goals. Each investment option, such as our popular age-based option that automatically allocates contributions based on the age of the child, is independently run by professional investment managers. There are 11 investment options let you invest in any way you feel comfortable. From more aggressive to more conservative options, and with age-based and fully customized approaches, you have as much control as you want over how much you invest and where it’s invested. And as the years go by, you’re free to change contribution amounts and how they are allocated at any time.
BUENISIMO VERDAD?? See the website for more informacion.



Because Kaching! Is one of the loveliest sonidos ever.
Especially when it goes to a loved one's future.
Not enter this one?? JU SO FONII!!!
