HolaHolaHola Beautifuls!!!

Increible pero cierto; My Little One is in college.  That picture of her primer "Tri co Tri" as Minnie Mouse really does bring back memories.  Las aventuras, the adventures we've had- especially since she was the one who accompanied Babushka to her move Up North in The South. The others of The Trio ya eran grande y mayor de edad, they stayed in Miami while we started our new life together.  It's been over 10 years now, but we still remember that car trip, filled to the brim y llena de felicidad and hope for the future.  Now her future is here, and a car y BB are still very much part of it.

My Little One attends university over 30 miles away- that's 60 + miles a day.  Babushka let her go sin la bendicion and a car that's operating smoothly?  JU SO FONII!!!  Por supuesto que no, and that's why when it's time to have an oil change only Quaker State ® Advanced Durability Motor Oil will do and we go to our local Walmart to have it done. BB trusts both with quality and has done so for years.

Babushka's ever watchful ojo de madre while My Little One is waiting for the cambio de aceite.

Babushka of course has the magnifico mechanics de Walmart do the mantenimiento, but if you are so inclined...

 Quaker State ® DIFM (Do It For Me) Oil Changes at Walmart are excelente for just $19.88 y con el dinero que Babushka saves she can make a "Porseacaso Purse" for My Little One.

Vieron? BB was able to get her a lonchera!! Who said college kids are too old for uno?  Es mas, Babushka made sure it had a bottom part to fill with cositas.  Quee?? Now really Beautifuls, she's not going to be making her lunches, just filling the top with drinks, so might as well fill it with things she'll be using- Porseacaso.

Lip Balm- porque se ponen frio por aqui

Mints- fresh breath is always bueno

Espresso Shots- long hours estudiando

Eye Drops- long hours estudiando & trabajando

Extra C w/extra energy- long hours estudiando & trabajando

Wipes for the hands and bottom, porque...

 More in the Porseacaso Purse-

Cafecito- she is 1/2 Cubana

Facial tissues- es mi fofo face

Walmart GC porque tienen de to'

No importa la edad, they will always be able to count on us.  Pa' eso es la familia, that is our cultura, asi somos, and BB wouldn't have it any other way.  Babushka's also glad that she can always find the three B's at my local Walmart.  Bueno, Bonito y Barato!!  Let's me spend more time and money on memorias with My Little One while making sure she's safe in a well maintained car gracias al Walmart Auto Center y Quaker State.

What memorias have you had con tu carro?

Cherish them Beautifuls and keep on Cruisin' !!

HolaHolaHola My Beautifuls!

BB can hear you- "Pero Babushka more acronyms??" And Groaners??  Si,si, y C! 

SoFabUOTR is short for Social Fabric University On The Road.  Quee?? JU SO FONII!! Ok si, it's a mouthful, but it's delicioso! Social Fabric is the group where many favorite sponsored posts come from. My first with them, a coffee giveaway, chances to bring The Boys into my world, and the little boys too.  Also, mi querida Colectiva Latina es parte del grupo, which allowed me to share with La Tata and helped me overcome one of my greatest enemies. Both of these are under the Collective Bias - CBias main sombrilla and they have helped Babushka from getting soaked and rained out many a time.  So many things BB has learned from working with the members, from their "University" where they have online tutorial and the way they mentor, to how to better communicate the nuances of my culture to those not familiar with it. So to say that it's true, BB is CBias ed. (Si, biased. Got it? jehe, Babushka saw you smile)

And BB wants to keep you smiling My Beautifuls!

Summer Meals con Kool-Aid y Kraft at @SamsClub - #ComidasFaciles

This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser.

All opinions stated are of Babushka's and El Dr..

HolaHolaHola My Beautifuls!!

Y'all know BB doesn't do complicated, and she also doesn't do heat, so when there was a chance given for quick, easy meals -especialmente during summer, that's a twofer Babushka HAS to dance to!  Y bailando under the stars, because they all aligned when #CollectiveBias asked for quick meal recipes using the excelente trio of Kool-Aid Jammers, Kraft American Singles, and Kraft Easy Mac Cups.  Just before I left for Miami, Sweetie had asked about joining Sam's Club, and now I was about to be a member; that was one star. Next, El Dr. was coming to spend another summer with us. Two Stars. And that BB was to buy the same items I used to get for The Trio, my "meals to go". Three Stars.

Babushka was one happy dancer when I went to my Tallahassee Sam's Club and became a member!

The personable Ms. Martin signing BB up and welcoming me to The Club!

There's so much to see and taste at Sam's Club that we made a family outing of it!

 Sweetie got into the swing and happy when he saw the extra saving with the Sam’s Club Instant Savings Booklet.

My hubby pass up a bargain? JU SO FONII!!!

• Kool-Aid Jammers Variety Pack; 40 pouches, 10 pouches of each of these flavors: Tropical Punch, Cherry, Kiwi-Strawberry, Blue Raspberry - Save $1.50
• KRAFT American Singles; 72 slices, 48 oz box - Save $1.75
• KRAFT EASY MAC Macaroni & Cheese CUPS: 12 Instant Microwave Cups (Not the regular boxes) - Save $2.00
• INSTANT SAVINGS END JULY 20th

El Dr., who's usually not too interested in shopping was fascinated by all the items found at Sam's Club- and when he found out what we were there to buy he was even happier!!  Matter of fact, he insisted he wanted to be in EVERY PICTURE! 

jehe Naturally the only 2 w/BB were a bit blurried. Wonder where he got his ham from??   ; )

Arriving home, it was time for Babushka to make El Dr. the same meal I made for his mom, Babushka's Bebe.

1. Pick out your meal.  El Dr. had no problem with that one!

2.READ INSTRUCTIONS!!!

3. Gather ingredients. Veggies & Meat

4. Only need to put in one cucharada of each.

How's that for balanced, nutritious & economical!!

5. COOK.

6. The other ingredients were pretty universal, but this is the Cuban Secret Sauce. 

Adobo. We put it on everything.

7. ♪Shake it up Baby!♪  Mix it well.

8. ENJOY!!!

Babushka asked El Dr. what he thought of Sam's Club, and most importantly what did he think of the food we bought there?  By his answer, you know there's got to be something to genetics...

May your summer meals be quick,easy, on the go- 'cause that means you're spending more time with loved ones. 

 Make wonderful memories este verano My Beautifuls!

La Tata gets face to face on Mother's Day with #FamilyMobile

HolaHolaHola My Beautifuls!!!

First, an agradecimiento and heads up. Gracias to #MyColectiva and Walmart Best Plans for sponsoring this post. Be ready with the hankies as this may be a bit sentimental; it deals w/two of BB's favorite subjects - La Tata and saving dinero. For those of you who don't know her, my grandmother, La Tata will be turning 92 (or 94) this year. As you can well imagine, she has plenty of cuentos, the stories she tells and the things she says!!! And how she loves to tell them- to everybody, all the time. BB loves talking to her, but she lives in Little Havana, Miami, and Babushka doesn't have long distance or an unlimited talk plan on her cell phone. Until Now.

Phones, Plans, Prices-  ESO!!!

My Little One and BB did a midnite maneuver to Walmart and were handsomely rewarded.

Y'all know I was just at her house two weeks ago, called her a week after being with her and she wanted to know when I'd be returning!  La Tata and BB are very close, to the point that I'd say she was my most loved relative- until of course The Trio came about. And The Trio wouldn't have had a roof over their heads if it weren't for La Tata for many of Babushka's single madre years.  To say we were/are a vital part of each other's lives is an understatement, so anything BB can do to make her life easier and more enjoyable is done for her happily.  Y Babushka is tan happy that I'll be able to give her a new cell phone! Quee??  JU SO FONII!!! Of course La Tata has a cellphone, pero no tiene este cellphone.  Porque tan special this phone? La pantalla, the screen, it's BUENISIMO!!! If La Tata can't see her familia in person, at least she'll be able to see them on her phone. Caller ID with pics so she'll have double la alegria; she sees her loved ones faces AND talks to them. Tremendo Twofer pa' La Tata!! 

She'll also be using the album feature to see her son, nietos, bisnietos and tataranietos

 over and over again.

La Tata w/2 of The Trio & ALL of the Great,Great Grandchildren

La Princesa- acabando como siempre!

Now what's the twofer for BB?? Besides getting a perfect present for La Tata, Babushka now has unlimited calling, a cheaper monthly plan, and with the price I paid for two phones and startup it was cheaper than upgrading just the telefono in my prior company!! BB's been blessed with having La Tata in her life and this Mother's Day I feel even more blessed that I can give her such a meaningful present to show my love and gratitude.

Don't forget to call your loved one on Mother's Day My Beautifuls; 
it'll be worth much more than you know.

BB2U

P.S. The Family Mobile Unlimited Talk,Text and Data plans start at $29.88 a month, and the phone Babushka picked, the Samsung Galaxy Exhibit was less than $100. Viste? Wasn't going Cubana, 2 phones truly are less than some smartphones out there!! Extra bonus- you can order the phones online.

P.P.S. BB will post more pics of La Tata and the phone shopping on Feibu y look for the Instagram pic w/a video of La Tata sharing her day.

HolaHolaHola My Beautifuls! That is the picture of Babushka getting ready for Spring Cleaning- #LimpiezadePrimavera. Y'all know cleaning is about as high on BB's enjoyable,must do list as exercise, and in small, humid,spaces it's doble. BB enjoy #LimpiezadePrimavera??  JU SO FONII!!! Ok si, yo se, I know- cleaning is a necessary evil, and so in Babushka’s eyes that means  spring cleaning is a super villain.  So who else but super heroes to do the job?   Babushka knew just who to call- BB was so happy to see them at my Wakulla Walgreens that I just had to give them un big abrazote!!

#MyColectiva helped me summon these SuperChampions- SuperCampiones of SC Johnson.

Scrubbing Bubbles and Windex!

Not only did Walgreens have them on special, pero tambien, they also had a coupon on it!
TREMENDO TWOFER!!!!!

Notice Babushka got the Antibacterial Multi Surface and the Toilet Wand.

Oh Si! The annihilation will be swift, strong, and sanitary.

Those germs stand no chance, and BB will shed neither sweat nor tears. Los dias de sudar y llorar se fueron.  

Como decimos en buen Cubano- con estos SuperCampiones, SC Johnson "se lo comieron!"

Sabemos, we all know the commercials with the foaming bubbles-son Cutisimos!! Y que me dicen, what do y’all think of those crows hitting the clear windows?  Bueno My Beautifuls, not only do these products, Scrubbing Bubbles y Windex talk the talk, they walk the walk.  

SON BUENISIMOS!!

Solamente con un Whissh! de Windex, se fueron todos los germenes- y que brillo!!

 It was actually fun spraying with my SuperChampion Windex, each Whissh! brought clean and shine. 

And the wand? Use it, then lose it. Non of those nasty toilet bowl germs hanging around.
BB actually got into cleaning- de veras!

Yo sabia que no me lo hiban a creer, so I took some photos.

Dueling the Dreaded Dungeon.

You see My Beautifuls?? Vieron?? 

Anything that can make cleaning fun tiene que ser, they've got to be SC!!

Cual es el peor de #LimpiezadePrimavera para ti?

What's the worst part of Spring Cleaning for you?
