HolaHolaHola Beautifuls!!!

Isn't that picture just precioso?  Sweetie and BB had our granddaughter La Princesa for a little bit this verano and some wonderful memories were made.  Now that she's young (and so are we- relatively) we were able to have lots of fun and meet all her needs and wants.  Quee??  Ok Si, we totally spoiled her, and hope to be able to do so for a long time.  Lamentablemente she is growing up way too fast and before we know it she'll be off on her own.  A sobering thought for all families, but for those of us who's loved ones have special needs, who've been diagnosed with disabilities, it can be downright scary. Babushka has written about this before and will say it otra vez.  Thankfully, Florida has the ABLE Account, enacted for the ABLE Act which authorizes states to create tax-free savings accounts for individuals with disabilities.

And why specifically an ABLE Account when there are other ways to save?

Who can have an ABLEUnited account?

THIS is the part Sweetie and BB are very happy about.  As grandparents we can contribute to La Princesa's account with no problem or penalty for anyone.  ESOOOOOOO!!!!  Abuelos, Amigos, Anyone can help with a child's future.

BB Blabs 'Bout 'Buela - Show 4 @Carla_Curiel Creator of @MundoLanugo

BB Blabs 'Bout 'Buela Show 4 Carla Curiel Mundo Lanugo_Grandparents_Bilingual_earlyed


HolaHolaHola Beautifuls!!

Show 4 of BB Blabs was a little bit different this time; the guest being interviewed isn't an abuela.
Pero she invented one of the most charming Grandmothers Babushka has ever met- Doña Antigua.

La Doña is grandmother to Gloria, a personal friend of BB's, por largo rato.

Years of Amor & Amistad.


Babushka had to ask Carla what prompted her to add La Doña to the Mundo Lanugo Lineup; what did she see the role of Grandparents being? Inspired como siempre, she touched on families where grandparents are raising their grandchildren (as is the case con Gloria), the different types of abuelas- the ones who were "AbuelaMoms" and the "AbuelaParty". Y si, BB es de the latter.  Pero in whichever group the grandparent is, they are definitely an important and intricate part of la familia.

To hear the full interview, please click here:




And here, our true guest of honor esta noche-  Doña Antigua.





She has so much in common with Babushka! 
El baile, the way she sings. Quee??  JU SO FONII!!  
Ok, BB doesn't clean, but besides that the similarities are astounding!  


Tambien astounding are the wonderful productos, sites & youtubes of Mundo Lanugo.



So Beautifuls, this BB Blabs y grandma was diferente -
but then again, if you've been following BB,
a different kinda grandma is something you're used to.

Babushka Besos a todos. Cuidensen.

Santa is a Wannabe Grandpa

Santa is a wannabe Grandpa, for sure for sure. And not only is he a wannabe grandpa (at least I've never heard stories of his kids), but I think he was Cuban in a past life. Oh si, because BB recognizes a fellow extremist when she sees them.

By outer everyday appearances we grandparents keep busy in a simpler, more even paced lifestyle. Note as an example Babushka and Sweetie's Christmas tree.  A true reflection of us as a couple- his obsession w/anything Peanuts related and BB's obsession w/anything chocolate related.



HOWEVER, inwardly we are mischievous elves reliving Christmas's past and waiting to share the joys of those memories.  In abuelo language that's called Puberty ::shudder:: Payback Presents y Santi Clo is the Numero Uno hombre honoring this tradition. Queee?? JU SO FONII!!! Por supuesto, and but of course BB has proof.  How else can you explain this?



My grandsons PicaPica y Rinquincaya 


Are you looking at those faces?  
Who else but a grandparent, someone who remembers Christmas's past would give these two-

Santa's the poster child of Grandparents.  Not only does he give these kinds of marvelous presents, but he then disappears into the night until the following year, leaving the parents the sounds and pieces of the season.  And he gets milk and cookies for doing this!!

As Babushka sits here, far away Up North in The South ,  seeing the pictures via Feibu and sipping her coquito spiked café, I am missing my grandchildren and can't wait to see them.  Once again the Man in Red sent the perfect gift to BB. In total solidarity and knowing, he sent me earplugs and combat boots.


Santi Clo, every year I believe in you more and more.

Babushka Besos a todos.  Cuidensen.
