3 Steps for Living- Babushka's 2018

This post was originally shared in January's Conexion print, y aqui BB will add a little mas.



HolaHolaHola Beautifuls!!

Adios 2017 and Hello 2018. Increible how fast that went. No se about ustedes, but Babushka for one is glad we got past that one.  For BB, 2017 was a year of realization and reckoning. A year of shake up and shape up. Globally, events we didn’t want to see were highlighted for our attention, y aqui in our own backyard, ni se dice.  We were shown what needed to be fixed, needed our attention. No longer can we continue with “pa luego” and “someday”. This is on a personal, business y hasta mundial level. What are you wishing you did more of last year? Did 2018 catch you by surprise and you’re still tratando to do 2017 resolutions?


Beautifuls, hacemos algo.
Let’s make this year easier for ourselves, while still being true to ourselves y lo que vivimos.
Aqui tienen-

Babushka’s 2018

Be Grateful & live in the momento.
All we truly have is now. Whether you perceive it to be bueno o malo, this is yours. If someone comes into your mind, contact them. If something makes you feliz, let it shine in your memoria and being. When negativity enters, acknowledge it, think what is being highlighted, and move on.  Live the NOW.
Bohemian Babushka- 2018

Take Better Care of Yourself
Now does that mean no more arroz con frijoles or lechon? JU SO FONII!! But it does mean all things in conscious moderation. Eso incluye temperament y lo mental as well as the physical.  If something “te vuelve loco” ponte a pensar, do you really need it? Perhaps it’s time to find another way or leave it altogether.
Bohemian Babushka- JU SO FONII 2018


Be with those who make you feel good.
Este in a way is part of el anterior. Surround yourself with love. Follow tu corazon and what it calls you to do, follow that direction. The cause you always wanted to help, ayudalo. Familia y friends you miss, call, contact them; feel good in that memory. Sobre todo, learn to feel good with self. Show kindness and amor to your being, tu historia and your futuro. Above all else.

Bohemian Babushka- celebrate 2018

Y alli tienes Beautifuls. Nothing concreto, pero todo completo.  2018 is ours to Be.
Live, Learn and know it's all for our bien.
A DECIR- ESOOOO!!!!

Bohemian Babushka- ESO!


Babushka Besos a Todos. Cuidensen.

Cuban Food in Crawfordville- Cuban Mojos has a new Casa!!

Cuban Mojos Cafe  Cuban Food Crawfordville Florida

HolaHolaHola Beautifuls!

Finalmente, Up North in The South is getting Comida Cubana, Cuban Mojos Cafe.  Ok Si, besides Babushka's homecooked meals- aunque those are kinda a mix of Cuban/Miami and whatever's on sale.  Cuban Mojos has a lot in comun con BB and although the owners aren't from the island themselves, they have their raices and gustos in their blood.  Let's start with that ever present totally Cuban trait of wanting our own business and not afraid to start from scratch with just a dream.



Photo: BB’s no longer alone. #CubanFood @CubanMojoLLC in Crawfordville. ESO!!! Estamos progresando!... http://t.co/dKJYRZ9tAb

Starting with a food truck in 2014, Babushka fell in love with their food and their marketing feel.
Apparently so did many others, porque soon...




Fueron de food truck to their own little casita.

BB surprised?  JU SO FONII!! 





Con el ambiente y hambre pa' Cubano que hay Up North in The South?
A lo bueno se acostumbre rapido!!  The Good only Gets Better!

And so it is with this tale of Cuban Mojos.  On Saturday is the Grand Opening of their new location:

10 Preston Circle Unit A Crawfordville. Florida.

https://www.facebook.com/events/1846319908722024/


A BAILAR SE HA DICHO!!
Hope to see y'all there.

Babushka Besos a Todos. Cuidensen.

Children's Care is Completo con Florida KidCare. #IAMKidCare

This is a sponsored post on behalf of Florida KidCare with opinions totalmente de Babushka.



Florida Kidcare Services
Florida KidCare Services

HolaHolaHola Beautifuls!!
Vieron that graphic?  When Babushka says "Completo" she means it.  All facets of childrens' health care falls under the Florida KidCare health and dental plan. From birth to 18, nuestros hijos have good cuidado and parents (and grandparents) have peace of mind.

OJO Beautifuls. Did you see the coverage and services provided?  BB's spoken before about their doctors and dentists, but did you see that vision and hearing were there tambien? And also, a topic you know that is very close to Babushka's heart, mental health is part of their plan too. The total child is looked after.

And then there are things like prescription drugs, hospital, surgeries that are very vital and also covered by Florida KidCare.


BUENISIMO the offerings verdad? Pero what about the calidad? Beautifuls, parents pick the primary care doctor; the same doctors on some of those pricey private insurances. Precio dictate quality?  JU SO FONII!!! With Florida KidCare you also get top notch specialists for dental as well as medical. All this covered by a low or possibly free monthly premium!


Importante Bullet Points to Know:
  • Florida KidCare covers doctor visits, immunizations, prescriptions, emergencias, surgeries, dental, vision, y mas!
  • Most familias pay nada and many pay as little as $15 or $20 per month for all children en la casa- even if both parents work.
  • Chances are you'll be able to keep your current doctores.
  • 95% de padres are happy with services received. BB sure was!
A repeat from the first post that bears repeating. Tambien repeating, BB's Trio was covered by Florida KidCare, and now Babushka is very happy to know that it's around for this generation.  Go check out the site, the plans, the offerings and services.  The options are plenty and so is the ayuda. Online, via phone, or in person, the buena gente of Florida KidCare estan alli for you. 




 Let's have the New Year be a healthy one. 
For our children, for us.

Hard to have a Future When you're Still Paying for your Past- A New Year's Resolution with @FloridaPrepaid #StartingIsBelieving #ad

BB is part of the Florida Prepaid Mama'Bassadors program, a joint campaign between the 
Florida Prepaid College people & Bloggin' Mamas. This is a sponsored post that is totally from Babushka's opinion y corazon and ahora going on the second generation of recipients.


Florida Prepaid

HolaHolaHola Beautifuls!

Que bella foto verdad? That's such a wonderful picture, on so many levels. What Babushka enjoys is how both of them are smiling while saving dinero.  Let me tell you Beautifuls, the bigger she gets, the bigger her madre will be smiling. Porque? Because she saved for her daughter's university with Florida Prepaid College Board and knew graduation, not student debt was in her future!

Florida Prepaid New Year Resolution


OJO Beautifuls! Make this a resolution you keep. Open Enrollment ends February 28, so hurry and use the code Baile1718 for 50% off the application fee.  BB not help you start your child on their way to university?  JU SO FONII!!  Vayan a Florida Prepaid and celebrate more than just the new year!!



There are many options and plans to choose from, and they welcome all questions. 
You can call them or go online to their site or via the social media platforms.

1-800-552-4723


Babushka is on her segundo generacion of Florida Prepaid College recepients and couldn't be happier. Both daughters used the plan, and hijo MAC who didn't need it, used the money and purchased a plan for his son! Remember to use Baile1718 and only pay $25 for the application fee. What a wonderful price for peace of mind knowing you're helping your child acheive their dreams, without debt.

And that you've actually kept a New Year's Resolution.
