JU SO FONII!!


Disney_Pixar_Onward_Poster


HolaHolaHola Beautifuls!
It's been awhile since BB has posted sobre Disney, pero their latest pelicula sounds BUENISIMO!
The two eldest Grands are in the midst of ::shudder:: PUBERTY, and too cool for most things, pero Babushka has a feeling this one even they will get into.


ONWARD is currently available to buy digitally and on Movies Anywhere
 on Disney+ on April 3rd in the U.S.

In ONWARD, teenage elf brothers Ian and Barley Lightfoot (voices of Tom Holland and Chris Pratt) get an unexpected opportunity to spend one more day with their late dad, embarking on an extraordinary quest aboard Barley’s epic van Guinevere. Like any good quest, their journey is filled with magic spells, cryptic maps, impossible obstacles and unimaginable discoveries. But when the boys’ fearless mom Laurel (voice of Julia Louis-Dreyfus) realizes her sons are missing, she teams up with a part-lion, part-bat, part-scorpion, former warrior – aka The Manticore (voice of Octavia Spencer) – and heads off to find them. Perilous curses aside, this one magical day could mean more than any of them ever dreamed.



Ahora BB doesn't know about you Beautifuls, pero entre the movie description and the trailer, she's ready to watch this pelicula!  And when besides the fearless mom, a carro is named and featured, the similarities make this a must see for Babushka. Miren, look at the memory card game del activity pack. Oh Si, Disney/Pixar is sharing that with us too. And who couldn't use some extra help with entertaining young ones??  


Activity sheets, coloring pages here.

Off to get a digital copy.

Tween Spring Break Readings 2020- It's Gonna Be Historic!

**BB was sent these books, no payment received, just enjoyment.








HolaHolaHola Beautifuls!
Time again for Spring Break. A time of season changes, time off of school, and bored children. Quee?? Y’all think Babushka doesn’t remember when The Trio were on break? And during their ::shudder:: PUBERTY??  Almost broke BB- mentally, physically and monetarily! Thankfully The Grands have more options of entertainment, pero there is no topping the language of libros. Besides our loved libreria, Babushka was blessed to receive some books that will be much read during school breaks. Aqui estan-

History_MLKJr_AlexanderHamilton_AmeliaEarhart


From biblical to modern times, there are many different historical figures from diverse backgrounds that will inform and entertain as they introduce history in a fun form.

Grandson_Teen_Reading_Springbreak



In true Tween/Teen forma, gotta drag the words out of them when it wasn't a tema they instigate.
 Pero all in all, he did well no creen? 

Next book is one that BB has no doubt he'll like. Es mas, Babushka is reading it first because she knows that once El Dr. sees it she'll never get her manos on it again!

Weird_Deaths_BBabushka


“Death comes in many forms—sometimes peaceful, sometimes tragic, sometimes dramatic . . . and at other times just plain weird. In History’s Weirdest Deaths (Portable Press, ISBN: 978-1684127573, Hardcover $12.99, 128 pages), you’ll read the true stories of more than a hundred people who met their end in a bizarre fashion. Each cautionary tale is unique. Meet the victims of stunts that went horribly wrong, ordinary people who made boneheaded blunders, and famous figures who realized too late that celebrity isn’t a cure for stupidity. “

 Tragicomedy_Deaths

This is gonna be sooooo popular on Tik Tok!   😆


Ok Si, BB knows you're thinking that just because Babushka is now a member of Neptune's Society, la muerte is mucho on the mind. Bueno, ok, there's no shock to it, but ya gotta admit this helps to see humor at the end.  Vamanos, be fair, do the flip side.

Hoping everyone stays safe and sane this Spring Break.

7 years later...#Babuboda

This was originally posted in March 2013. The reason BB's sharing it again? This week Babushka and Sweetie will be celebrating their 7 year wedding aniversario and, We're finally going on a honeymoon!!!  This is Babushka's 3rd matrimonio, a milestone on sooo many niveles. Hope you enjoy this paseo del pasado and are joining us on our cruise via FeibuTweety and IGrammy


 HolaHolaHola My Beautifuls!!

 Do you remember Sweetie's reaction when I came back from Hispanicize last year? Bueno, looks like he gets nervous when I'm surrounded by so many Hunky Hispanos because this time he just said, "Let's Get Married."  No, not like the last time when he proposed/set a date, I mean "My mom is coming up here w/her best friend and I want to get married while she's here. At the courthouse."

Quee?? Pero what about #Babuboda you ask? JU SO FONII!!!  Ok si, I was looking forward to the party and seeing all my blogasphere besties and friends, but sabes algo?  When a 52 year old confirmed bachelor says he wants to get married you don't waste time- you get married!

At this point La Gallina Vieja took over. 
 #Babuboda was mine, but this at the courthouse thing was too simple and sublime for Babushka.  
And quiet!!  Oh my, the freezing winds were louder than the ceremony.

Wakulla_Courthouse_Marriage_Ceremony


Still, the handpicked flowers from the yard, hung on the trellis with tulle-
the truth and gentleness of it.  
 And the true and gentle sincerity with which the vows were so assuredly repeated... 
how at this stage of life, love was ready to be declared and shared.




There wasn't a dry eye in the place.




Si, ok- it's loud and kinda My Spacey but BB had to put her spin on something in this wedding!! 


; )


A toast to Newlyweds and Love.
To the dreams they both inspire, seeing no age nor limit.  
Stronger than doubts and fears, may we always be in their Light.

Wedding_Toast



ESO!!!



Babushka besos a todos.  Cuidensen.


P.S. 7 years later...



Still with Sweetie. 
Somethings get better with time.
