It's beginning to feel a lot like.... July! It's the middle of summer but it's also time to celebrate Christmas in July!! There are dozens of reasons to celebrate Christmas in July, so many, that trying to find the actual origin of celebrating Christmas in the month of July is a little foggy. Some suggest that it started as a way for the Southern hemisphere to celebrate Christmas in cold weather (like we get to), others theories were that it began 80+ years ago at a summer camp in North Carolina! Regardless, I can never get enough Christmas so I am happy to add it to a second month in my Calendar! -- I may even put up the tree and get a jump start on my holiday shopping!

Spectacular #ChristmasBricktacular Making Forever Family Memories w/ @LegolandFlorida & @Redcoachusa #hosted

The trip via RedCoach and the entrances to Legoland Florida were hosted. 

The smiles and great tiempo was BB's and her Bunch.

HolaHolaHola Beautifuls!

If y'all have been bailando with Babushka you know FAMILIA IS TODO.  Family bonding is sumamente importante and BB tries to facilitate it as much as she can. It can definitely be challenging, especially when half of  The Grands live in Miami and the other half live Up North in The South near Babushka.  Now the older Grands have no problem with the bonding and having great memories of cousin time because they all lived in Miami when they were younger and grew up together, but the two little ones, Dr. J and Laughing Buddha are growing up far away from each other. OJO- growing up far away does not have to equal growing apart, at least not if this Groovy Grandma has any choice in the matter. 

Enter the S Sisters with an invite from Legoland Florida for la familia to join them in their first ever, CHRISTMAS BRICKTACULAR!!

Legoland Florida Christmas Bricktacular

Babushka pass up that invite?  JU SO FONII!!

  Enseguida, right away the email was made to the Remarkable RedCoach luxury bus and the trip itinerary was all done. Time for Cousin Conocimiento with some Babushka Bonding thrown in too.

Grands #5, Dr. J, enjoying his first solo ride with #grandmother BB. Just like his siblings, ❤ "The Big Red Bus". Beautifuls, @redcoachusa really is the best for #FloridaTravel. 15% off fare for children under 12!! No stress, relaxing bonding time. #hosted but #fromtheheart

A post shared by Bohemian Babushka (@bbabushka) on Nov 30, 2018 at 12:25pm PST

If you read the above caption, you'll see that this is the first solo ride Dr.J has taken on the Redcoach with BB. He was encantado, didn't even use the iPad the whole trip. He truly enjoyed the actual viaje and experience. Pretty cool for a 4 year old. We had conversations and observations durante those 4 hours. Again, Pretty Cool for a 4 year old.

Arriving at the Orlando Station, we waited for DIL and Laughing Buddha. Quee?? You thought BB was going to go sola with The Little Grands? Beautifuls, BB stands for Bohemian Babushka, not BoBa. She picked us up and we stayed at her friend's casa, the founder of the Kai Jeremiah Foundation. Babushka will definitely be sharing more about that organization in the near futuro. Pero for now, we got the little ones to bed for the next days aventura.

Oh the squeals of joy when they saw this!!

Got his very own ticket. NOW he's feeling cool and grown up.

A Comenzar the Fun!!

BB got some abuela time in and  fun was had by all, pero the most importante, 

the primos partnered in many memorias. Mission Accomplished.

Now time to go back on RedCoach.

Dr. J looking forward to another ride on "The Big Red Bus".

Until he realized we were going back to casa.

Honestamente, BB can't blame him. We had an incredible time at Legoland.  

With a promise of coming back again, he settled in and enjoyed his trip back to Babushka's.

  

Beautifuls, this is the last finde for the Christmas Bricktacular. BUENISIMO.

 Make a point to visit, and make Forever Family Memorias. 

Have a Very Meri Crisma!!

And let the Holidays Begin!!  🎅🎄🤶 BB2U

Save Santa's Sacroiliac (and Yours) w/ @Salonpas #Giveaway

Apparently the S Sisters had enough of my body creaking and bent knee walking because they sent the nice people of +Salonpas Babushka's way.  All opinions and dolor are BB's.

HolaHolaHola Beautifuls!

Si uds son como Babushka, you're probably running around doing 500 things at once for the holidays. And if you're also like BB and feeling it, then you know that us Santas need to slow down a bit. But are we going to?  JU SO FONII!!! The only way that's going to happen is if we are forcefully made to stop, and the only thing that'll probably do it is a pulled and tired muscle, or back, or shoulder, or... bueno, you get the picture.  Felizmente Salonpas has products for all of those, y mas.  Mira pa' ca-

Vieron all the wonderful choices and options? Just like their productos. 

And you get to personalize what's best for you. Just like their productos.

OOOOOO- OOOOHHH!! YOU GOT THE SPOT!!!


Babushka will admit that years ago when she tried this for the primera vez she was "Oh!"
Pero once those peppers kicked in?  "Ohhhhh!" Y si, BB said peppers. Look at the description-

SALONPAS® HOT  Natural, effective pain relief

SALONPAS® HOT releases Capsaicin, a natural, odor free pain reliever, for long lasting pain relief up to 8 hours. Capsaicin, the compound found in chili, cayenne, and jalapeno peppers, is used topically by many medical professionals to help relieve minor pain associated with rheumatoid arthritis or muscle sprains and strains. Capsaicin alleviates pain by wearing down the pain messangers in an injured area. Specifically, when capsaicin is applied to an inflamed or injured area, it stimulates a pain messager called substance P. SALONPAS® HOT has numerous holes arranged in a pattern of 16 vertical and 12 horizontal. This matrix of 192 holes is punched with extreme precision. SALONPAS® HOT “breathes” through each hole so that you can feel comfortable during use.

And after that first prueba, a loyal user.

Tanto es, that BB was approached to share the productos en a giveaway.

ESOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

Buena Suerte Beautifuls!

Santi Clo- Is your sleigh Big enough? BB's letter to Santa.

HolaHolaHola Beautifuls!!!

By now los niños have written their letters to Santa, so BB figured the dear man is in the mood for some more adult literature. Namely, a letter from Babushka.  Quee???  JU SO FONII!!!  Of course & por supuesta BB Believes in Santi Clo.  "But that's just for children!" you say.  Bueno, Babushka's Papa still considers her his baby, and you will think the same of your cria when they're older.  Di la verdad, those of you with children over 18, don't you agree that no matter the age, our children are always our babies? Continuing.

So, BB's carta a Santa this year goes un poco like this-

Hola Santi & Feliz Navidad to you and la Señora!

Babushka hopes this finds you ready- or well rested, depending on when you read the letter.  Please let the Mrs. know que that batch of cookies BB got was BUENISIMO and went very well with the midnight writings of Marti, mi Muse;send her gracias en mi nombre, por fa. Ahora Babushka can see why you're always so jolly y redondito.

Eso Santa, brings BB to her first pedido. To have a lifetime love like you and the Mrs.  Como sabes, this is the third go round in the marriage march, y el ultimo.  So any consejos, wits of wisdom, are mucho appreciated.

Dorothy B. Ovens Park Tallahassee Florida

Second request, the gift of travel. Con o sin Sweetie. Que?? Ok si. Hmmm... maybe that's why I'm on marriage #3?  JU SO FONII!!!  Seriously Santi, we're saving up for passports for the two of us, pero if the chance arises you know the aventurera que es Babushka...

And lastly, BB wishes to be  the Jaye P. Morgan of the Tweety Fiesta Circuit.  

Jaye P. Morgan

You remember her don't you Santi?  She was on every talk show, game show in the late 70's, and BB wants to be the same, pero in the social media arena. Sponsored for appearances, to be asked to be on panels- especialmente for Tweety Fiestas.  Babushka ♥♥♥ TWEETY FIESTAS!!  And to be a "panelist/cohost" , the one people ask for,because they know que if they want fun, if they want fonii, they want BB. Oh what a gift that would be!!

 They say that if you ask, then you shall receive.  

Los otro regalos, the other gifts, are the Universal ones of  love, family,good health, and I'll leave to the Universe  those Blessings which we all ask for, and are probably in another realm to grant. 

Querido Santa, if these pedidos can't fit in your sleigh, es ok.  

Gift cards are always nice too.

Con mucho Amor & Appreciation  ~BB

And that Beautifuls is Babushkas Letter to Santa. 

 Here's hoping he brings you and your loved ones everything you've asked for.

Babushka Besos a todos.  Cuidensen.
