Adios Amadeus. Goodbye Grandpuppy.

We know their lifespan doesn't equal those of humanos, yet their death affects us just as much.  
In loving tribute to My Little One's Baby, Amadeus.




HolaHolaHola Beautifuls!

Amadeus wasn't his original name, it was the name My Little One gave him when she saw him at the pound.  He had been returned there because he had "behavior" problems.  She didn't care, she saw her missing piece, needing love and companionship as much as she did.  A big baby that would keep her company and on her toes. The bond was instant and binding.

Balls are good! For about 5 minutos

Amadeus_furbaby_ADHD
What was that??!! Let's go see!!

He was our Dennis the Menace Dog. Hardheaded, ADHD and always getting into things.

Amadeus_furbaby-cat

Pero he was big hearted just as much as he was hard headed.  Maybe mas...


He helped her weather many lonely nights in her apartment, 
making sure she knew she was loved deeply and unconditionally.  

Babushka called him Mozart. 
Amadeus was too long and fancy, so it was Mozart. He was more of a Moe.



Amadeus died as he had lived. Chasing whatever caught his fancy, all or nothing in every moment.
He was hit full force by a car; he was gone instantly.
For that BB is grateful.  


Babushka's also very grateful for the love, total adoration he gave My Little One. 
Because of him she wasn't alone, he gave her companionship, protection, and reason to continue when she felt anxious and overwhelmed.  He was her Big Beastie, her baby, and in his way helped her grow.  


Adios Amadeus. 
You are missed, and will always be loved.

Babushka Besos a Todos.
Cuidensen.

Zinged by Hotel Transylvania 3! #HotelT3

Babushka and Cristyl's Crew were sent a dvd and a box of promotional items for this post. No other compensation was given. Opinions expressed are of BB and the Crew.


hotelt3_hotel_transylvania_3_dvd

HolaHolaHola Beautifuls!

Babushka has a confession to make. She never saw any of the prior Hotel Transylvania peliculas.
Being a long distance abuela, some of the animated movies slipped by.  Now that Cristyl's Crew is nearby, BB's playing catch up.  The Hotel Transylvania series was liked by them, so when BB was offered the Hotel Transylvania 3 , she felizmente said Si! 



Thankfully the characters are likeable, the premises and plots not too complicated, so by starting with #HotelT3 BB didn't get lost and was able to catch up and enjoy the movie almost immediately. Now here's a sypnosis of it.


"follows in the tradition of the blockbuster Hotel Transylvania franchise when Mavis surprises Dracula with a family voyage on a luxury, haunted monster cruise ship. Of course, the rest of the Drac Pack has to tag along, and that’s when things get a little…batty. The monsters are having a great time, indulging in all of the shipboard fun the cruise has to offer, from monster volleyball to colossus-sized buffets and exotic excursions, but then the unexpected happens when Drac falls for the ship’s mysterious (and dangerous) human captain Ericka. The third film in this family-friendly monster franchise is the best reviewed installment and you’re invited along on the haunted cruise vacation!"



And as if the movie by itself wasn't enough, they have mucho extras on this one!




Bonus Materials Include:
Three All New Scary-Oke Sing Alongs: Sing along to three Hotel Transylvania 3 inspired songs with your favorite characters!
“Dennis Had a Giant Dog” – Sung by Dennis & Winnie
“Monsters Like to Party Down” – Sung by Johnny
“Oh These Wolf Pups” – Sung by Wanda Werewolf
Plan Your Own Spook-tacular Sleepover: This feature will give you all details on how to make your own sleepover spook-tacular! From snacks to crafts to games and more, follow these steps to create a Hotel T sleep-over with your friends and family, the perfect setting to binge watch all 3 Hotel Transylvania movies.
Vampire Make Over: Mavis and Drac Tutorial: Learn how to turn yourself into your favorite Hotel Transylvania 3 characters.
Behind the Screams – The Voices of Hotel Transylvania 3: Step behind the "screams" with the returning stars and hilarious new cast to see how these characters are brought to life in the recording booth.
Johnny’s Home Movies (Franchise Recap): Johnny brings viewers up to speed on what’s happened in the Hotel Transylvania franchise so far.
“I See Love” Monster Dance Party Dance Along: Get up and get moving to this haunting monster mash.
Drac’s Zing-tastic Read Along: It's storytime with your favorite characters have a silly tale about Drac's search for a Zing!  Read along or sit back and enjoy!
Two Mini Movies (rated G): Two mini-features that will have you howling.
Puppy
Goodnight Mr. Foot


And you know what else it includes Beautifuls? Hispanics.


Irresistable Inclusions.
From our own multi talented Selena Gomez, the howls of laughter when El Chupacabra was having chivo cocktail,  to the fun memorias the Macarena brought, Babushka appreciates and understands why there are 3 in the series and looks forward to more.


Babushka not recommend Hotel Transylvania 3?
JU SO FONII!! 
Not only does she recommend, she's gonna go and get the collection!

EGG Baby Gender Neutral Clother Twitter Party

HolaHolaHola Beautifuls!

When it was time to pick out The Trio's layette and baby shower themes it was very challenging. NONE of them let us know what their sex was! Little did BB realize she'd be "en moda" almost 30 years later. Now it's the turn for Gender neutrality, but does that mean blah and boring?  JU SO FONII!!  Read on to join this wonderful way of ropita pa' babies.

Join Blog­gin Mamas & Egg by Susan Lazar as we host the #EGGBaby Twit­ter Chat on Tuesday, 10/9/18 at 9p EST! Join us as we celebrate a gender neutral baby shower and discuss the benefits of gender neutral clothing and toys. Plus, there will be some prizes too!

About Egg's New Gender Neutral Collection

Egg considers it a top priority to nurture little ones so that moms and dads can be sure that their children are dressed in the softest natural fabrics, and styles to suit every child’s special and unique personality. This is why Egg is launching their brand new gender-neutral collection for babies. To offer the latest trends and provide options for everyone.

Gender-neutral clothing is the perfect answer for expecting parents and their loved ones that prefer to wait until their little one comes into the world to discover their gender. These adorable pieces offer wonderful options for parents to prepare for their precious newborn’s arrival and make ideal gifts for friends and family to celebrate this exciting time.

Gender-neutral children’s clothing has also become popular with many families that choose to allow their little one’s personality and style to develop organically -without the pressure of traditional gender roles affecting their choices and aspirations.

As recent studies have shown that rigid gender expectations can have a negative impact on children later in life, some clothing brands and toy manufacturers are moving away from traditional pinks and blues and embracing more inclusive themes and colors to inspire young minds. A variety of celebrity parents have also adopted this concept, including Pink, Adele, Angelina Jolie, Bryce Dallas Howard, and Will Smith.

Egg wants to ensure their children’s ranges offer options that include all parenting ideals, and choices to suit the taste of every unique little one.

This collection is created in the softest natural fabrics to nurture delicate baby skin. Discover their cute sets, snuggly footies, cozy snowsuits, and the warmest winter accessories -all in the purest neutral colors. Visit Egg-Baby.com to learn more!
