May is Mayhem, but @NickHotel made it Maravilloso!!

Babushka was given a "media rate" to facilitate this post. All opinions and fun were BB's and her family's.

HolaHolaHola My Beautifuls!

Mother's Day at the  +Nickelodeon Suites Resort aka @NickHotel. As I alluded to in the title, May for my son is Mayhem.  My son MAC has the following going on in May: On the 9th of May is his wife's birthday, The birthday of his youngest son, Rinquincaya, is on the 12th, and their anniversary is the 14th.  Needless to say he hasn't been able to travel to see me on Mother's Day (this year on the 10th) because finances don't permit.  The last time I saw him for Mother's Day was two years ago and that was too long ago for BB.  Babushka arranged the weekend of May 9 - 11 for a fullout family togetherness fest with him, DIL, the 3 grandsons and La Tata too!  Oh yeah this was gonna be an intergenerational lifetime memory- now whether we were gonna behave was yet to be seen.

Pizza Meets Black Beans & Rice

The boys had no idea we were going to meet up on the weekend, and they definitely didn't know we were going to be spending it together at NickHotel. To say they were pleasantly surprised is an understatement. 

The management had arranged gifts for each of my grandsons, giving them their favorite TMNT!  To say Babushka was more than pleasantly surprised is another understatement. It's those kind of details that makes one want to visit.  

Those and the accomodations too.

3 Bedroom Suite for 7+  

Please note the fully equipped kitchen, handicap access showers y mirrors,hang dry line in shower for wet clothes. 

Not fancy, but definitely functional y BUENISIMO!!

And our front door view?

Also BUENISIMO!!!

Y ahora, now for the reason Babushka chose Nickelodeon Suites:

And lest you think NickHotel is just for kids-

La Tata enjoying her Piña Colada

DIL & MAC enjoying their drinks and each other.

Y para Babushka??

Blogger's Paradise- laptop,ipad,cellphone & enough outlets for all
and of course a Starbuck's cafe- on the premises!!

And for those of you who are saying this is just another waterpark, 

obviously you haven't been here, because it has something no other park in the world has-

the wonderful Nickelodeon characters and Slime! 

and presently, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles!

Looks like a full day verdad? 

You ain't just whislin' La Guantanamera My Beautifuls,

 but if you think that was all they did the first day-

JU SO FONII!!!

No way the DIL was gonna miss Family Karaoke!

10:30 pm as in noche, night.

and on the way back, they had to say hello to the 1st Bilingual Babe-

Last activity of the night- dress rehearsal for their TMNT Meet n' Greet.

Babushka Believes it's pretty unanimous.

The stay at NickHotel was all we had hoped it would be- y mas!!

Hoping y'all had just as Maravilloso a Mother's Day as we had.

And that next time you'll be joining us.

Disney's Doc McStuffins Mobile Clinic - Move over Dora.

This review was facilitated; BB got it in the mail for her opinion. Y aqui esta.

HolaHolaHola My Beautifuls!

Hoy Babushka gets to review the newest of Disney's Doc McStuffins videos- Mobile Clinic.  Once again the S Sisters were looking out for BB, because the Doc happens to be the latest love of my granddaughter La Princesa.  Not only that, but it's also her 5th Bday on March 27 and she'll be getting this DVD - talk about Terrific Twofer!!

NOW IN STORES!!!

Honestamente, I wanted to see how could Doc replace the classic y muy querida Dora, so I was happy to receive and review the DVD.  Ahora, let's see what La Princesa enjoys about the Doc.

Episode 1- Doc McStuffins Goes McMobile

In this episode Doc McStuffins realizes she needs a mobile way to tend to her patients. 

The takeaways were:

Checkups-  what is done during a doctor visit

Perserverance- the Doc kept at her "Doc Mobile" until it became a reality.

Episode 2 Chip Off The Ol' Box

The support of friends & family is the main idea of this episode. 

Takeaways:

It's OK to ask for help.

Parents get sick too.

Believe in yourself.

Episode 3 Doc to the Rescue

Staying Calm during Emergencies was the main point of this episode.

Now, even though that was the main point and takeaways for children, 

for BB this was my fav because it was hysterical!! 

 In this scene the Doc asks the doll what she learned- and BB quotes, 

"Fashion Wear isn't the answer to everything"

Episode 4- Don't Knock the Noggin'

The importance of headgear is highlighted in this episode.

Takeaway:

You can be "Rad" and cool while wearing a helmet.

Helmets help against head injuries.

Ok, BB can see the attraction and even appreciates La Princesa going to the Doc.

De veras, how can you not see the pluses of a female doctor, African American, who can fix toys with intelligence, care and song, while also having a loving family who supports her and her medical practice.  BELLA!! I can see where my granddaughter would sympathize and see herself, and a great role model like Doc McStuffin is most celebrado en our house. Now... if we can only teach her to speak in Spanish...

BB wholeheartedly approves and enjoys Disney's Doc McStuffins Mobile Clinic and knows y'all will too.  

Let Babushka know what's your view on the Doc and which was your favorite episode.

P.S.  If you think this is the only thing La Princesa is getting for her bday- JU SO FONII!!!

  Pero that will be in another post.
