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' !!

#GlucernaHungerSmart Shakes- Keeping Healthy on the Fly.

Babushka has been compensated by Glucerna for this post; however, BB is  sharing her own thoughts. All opinions are Babushka’s. Talk with your health care provider about a diabetes management plan that’s right for you. #GlucernaHungerSmart #CollectiveBias

HolaHolaHola Beautifuls!!!

My husband,Sweetie, is pre-diabetic so he watches his diet very carefully. That can be a little tricky to do, especially since he's the type who loves to spend hours outdoors. In the Florida calor, spending hours outside is  sooo not Babushka, so he’s sent off alone with meals and snacks.  The lunches BB packs for him have to be filling, satisfying, and taste good, because he’s already slim and Babushka’s got a reputation to uphold.

While Sweetie gets busy getting his gear together,

BB drives over to our local Walmart and buys what are sure things in both the taste and health requirements. We've been reading up on diabetes and the changes one needs to do, but at the same time we also know that if it doesn't have that zing, then it's a zero. Thankfully we found out the following about Glucerna-

Glucerna® Hunger Smart™ Shakes are specially designed for people with diabetes,used under medical supervision. Con 66% less sugars than leading weight loss shakes, they also have 50% more protein, making them a very smart choice to help manage hambre. And the especial,CarbSteady, which allows carbs to be released slowly over time and prevents blood sugar spikes is theirs too.

Glucerna® Hunger Smart™ Shakes come in Chocolate &Vanilla y el chocolate es BUENISIMO!!! Quee?? You thought BB bought that whole 6 pack just for Sweetie and his fishing trip?  

JU SO FONII!!!

They also have 25 vitaminas and minerals as well as being un excelente source of fiber. Of course this is a good thing, and combined with the added protein it helps manage hunger. A good thing when you're busy, inside or outdoors.

@BabushkasSweeti working up an appetite

Ahora eso si, there are rules for packing a good lunch and a couple of trucos Babushka has learned along el camino.

1. Know what they like and give it to them. While they're out and about is not a time to experiment.

2. Make sure it'll keep for hours.  If it needs to be cool,  have some frozen bottle waters and/or icepacks ready. BB's preference are the water bottles, they can always drink the melted agua.

3. If it can get squashed,mushed, crushed, put it in a bag by itself- 'cause who needs that extra yuck ?

In Sweetie's case, he prefers to eat things he can eat with one hand;the other is for his fishing rod. He's always ready for that fish's nibble, so he does his nibbling quickly.  Focused in his fun, Sweetie will spend hours pescando, and Babushka's so glad to have found something that'll keep him fuller longer and keep his energy steady.

Y ahora Beautifuls, there's un especial en Walmart of $3 off when you buy 2 Glucerna 6 packs.
Now that's a twofer Babushka can go for. One pack for Sweetie, and one for BB.
If he drinks his fast enough.

; )

Who will you share your 6 pack with??

Glamping with The Grands-Making Magical Memorias.

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

All opinions are Babushka’s alone. #LoveYourLawn #CollectiveBias

HolaHolaHola Beautifuls!!

The above is a picture taken 20 years ago. Here is The Trio and Godson enjoying a campsite they had set up. Quee?? BB set up the camping gear? JU SO FONII!!! By this age each of the niños had a specific task to build the site, all Babushka had to do was drive them there.  Hopefully we’ll be able to do the same with The Grands, and now that there are 6 , Sweetie will be helping BB introduce them to the bella world of camping.
Naturalmente, we'll be taking it easy and going the glamping route first. Bueno, ok, maybe not too glamorous, but it will be in our backyard where we can always run into la casa if it gets too real for them. Pero if Grandpa y Babushka plan it right, it'll be magical instead.

First, some strategically placed items for them to discover and enjoy.

Morning campanitas; chimes to wake up to. Fairies and gnomes to play with,
gardens to plant, windmills to watch happily and lights throughout that will glow in the night.  

"All well and good" said Sweetie, 

"but if they are sleeping on hard ground they'll be too tired to enjoy any of it."

Definitivamente had a point there didn't he?  Our yard had cute items, pero it could use some filling up in the grass departamento. So,off to Walmart BB went,to make sure our grass was always greener.

While there, Babushka saw some other items that would just enhance the fun y magic a bit more...

Lawn Bowling, Bubbles, Pools and a Slide!

Y estos??  You can never have too many forest friends in BB's opinion.

Did y'all see those mushroom stools?  Cutisimos verdad???

Pero, as Sweetie had said, you can't appreciate much if you're not rested, 

so home BB went with the needed lawn fixerupper.

#LoveYourLawn

Sweetie had said Scotts® was his preference, and seeing that Green MAX™ is kid and pet friendly, it was BB's choice too.  OOhhh, 3 dias for a deeper greening, covers 5,000 square feet and it's a 2 in 1 formula that not only supplements the hierba with iron, but feeds it too.  And we all know how Babushka feels about feeding verdad??

Ahora, eso si, that feeding and spreading is done much easier if you buy a spreader.  The WIZZ™ spreader is nuevo and unique- it's battery operated! Sweetie appreciated that for sure; less work, faster, and holds the whole bag of Green MAX™ or just a little bit for smaller areas. The Grands are gonna love glamping on gorgeous green!!

Now, some specific cosas just for you Beautifuls.

Con #CambioConfiable the Adventures Continue!!

This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser. All opinions are Babushka’s alone. #CambioConfiable #CollectiveBias

HolaHolaHola Beautifuls!

If you follow Babushka’s Baile you know everyday is an adventure and some mas than others. Beautifuls, the need of independence,mobility,car reliability, doesn’t end once the kids move out, es mas, I’d say most of BB’s adventures have been after the age of 50!! In  the last post, BB was going to the Emerald Coast for Hispanic Heritage Month. Bueno, that’s a good 3 hour drive from home, and if you thought Babushka was going to take any chances with the carro breaking down JU SO FONII!!!  Saw this at my local Walmart and knew que tenia que ser.

 BB is no stranger to her local Walmart Auto Center. Honestamente , they’re one of the best Twofers Babushka’s ever known. Reliable service at a decent price AND you shop while you wait!

 As you can see, BB had all intentions of being a good girl and working, pero that lasted all of 10 minutos. Franklin (that’s my Auto Center Svc. Mgr.) said the car would be ready to go with new Quaker State oil in about 20 mins, so a bailar rapido to the rest of the store!

Ahora there's the neatest thing, you can actually go to any price checker and see if your car is ready.
On the claim ticket is a code to scan, and...

Buenisimo verdad?

And you know what else is Buenisimo Beautifuls?  Knowing that BB can count on Quaker State Oil and my local Walmart Auto Center to keep this Vieja 'Venturera always ready to go wherever the next adventure goes. So, my opinion on this adventure??

ESO!!!!!

And where will YOUR next adventure be Beautifuls?? 

 If going by carro remember to be safe y seguro with a #CambioConfiable.

Can't wait to hear your tales!!!

Dancing around the Home Fires, Flaming 2015 con K-Y® #YoursAndMine

HolaHolaHola My Beautifuls!!!

Nice & Quiet Way to end 2014

If you've been reading this blog, saben that 2014 found Babushka away from Sweetie weeks and sometimes months, but 2015 will be more time together, making up for lost time. Of course that is good, pero at our ages just missing each other isn't always enough.  Quee?? JU SO FONII!!! Ok si, Cubana al fin, BB's Hot Blooded, and that will never change, however the Menopause Mambo sometimes leaves skid marks on the dance floor. Not good when you're used to the Electric Slide and a waxed surface. Needless to say we were both very happy when Babushka was chosen for this shop- and waltzed right over to our neighborhood Walmart. Though Sweetie did try to maintain some seriousness and decorum.

Our local Walmart

As you well know My Beautifuls, BB usually goes to the product and physically does a "TaDaa" item pose,but not only was the product right next to the pharmacy, the patrons in line were questioning why anyone would want to take a picture of such products. Por la sonrisa, by the smile of Sweetie there was no question as to what products Babushka was taking pictures of. Actualmente, we were lucky to have gotten the K-Y® Yours + Mine pack; it was the last one left. Apparently BB and Sweetie aren't the only ballroom dancers in town. 

Our version of the French Apache Dance with Scarf con Tango overtures

You know the saying, "It Takes Two to Tango". Couples on a romantic date night making their own music, trying something new. His and Hers personal lubrication to make the intimate moments sizzle. Babushka for one is tired of the Menopause Mambo. Look forward to gliding back into the Groove.

Bringing in 2015 con Salsa & Sizzle!!

And you My Beautifuls? 

What do you plan to improve with your partner in the New Year?

Whatever it is, BB hopes it ♫makes you feel like dancing!♪

BB2U

P.S. Of course you don't have to be as obvious as Babushka & Sweetie,

you can order the Date Night Pack discreetly at Walmart.com.

Another great way to start 2015- in January a special Date Night deal that is coming soon! K-Y® Date Night (shipping to store in Jan 2015): $50 value 1 free meal for two people from PEACHDISH.com delivered to your door for an intimate night of cooking together, a $5 VUDU movie credit for you to stream right at home and the pleasure of K-Y® Yours+Mine Couples Lubricants.
