Cure your Bad Credit Pains with @TheCreditRX . #ad

BB barters when she believes. After attending a credit seminar given by Jacquelyn Calloway, owner of The Credit RX, Babushka was so impressed that she offered an exchange of services. This review/sharing is a result of that proposition. No monetary compensation was given and all opinions expressed are BB's.


Credit Rx Bad Credit Repair

HolaHolaHola Beautifuls!
March is the month women and their acheivements are highlighted in this country. It's all about the acknowledgement and empowerment. Bueno Beautifuls, if you've been following BB you know 2018 is the year of conscious change, and she acknowledges she has the power to better her life. Bettering her credit is one of the ways she intends to do just that.  

There are many companies that promise credit help, but how does one chose? For Babushka she looks for a kindred spirit, someone with passion and belief in what they do. Someone who understands me and my baile.


Credit repair dance partner found. 

In all seriedad Beautifuls, BB go to someone who doesn't understand, doesn't listen to your concerns and needs?  JU SO FONII!!!  Por eso she's so glad to have found Jacquelyn Calloway, founder of The Credit Rx.  She knows the pain we're going through with bad credit and is passionate about helping others overcome it.  Aqui tienen a little interview Babushka had with Jacquelyn.

1) A little history on yourself and why you got into this credit repair business.
I built Credit RX because I too suffered with "bad credit".  In 2009, I went to purchase my first home for me and my kids and was denied due to my credit scores.  I had a 500, but needed a 640.   I had nowhere to go, no-one to turn to, and so I learned to repair my own credit.  In 6 months I turned that 500 into a 640 and was able to purchase that home.  This gave me a passion for helping others who are "denied" every single day when applying for a home, car, credit card, personal loan, car insurance, etc.  Where do they turn for help?  This experience caused me to find  my purpose in life, which is to help others experience the benefits of good credit.  

2) What do you want readers to take away from this post? What do you do for your clients?
Bad credit costs.  Costs you money, time, stress, health, and even to not be approved for a job.  We can help!  Credit RX specializes in boosting client's credit scores, enabling them to hear "approved" instead of "denied".  Not only do we restore your credit, but during your time in our program, you will be equipped with knowledge to maintain and continue to boost that new found credit score.

3) Can you breakdown what you've been able to do with Babushka's credit? What needs to be done for aspired score- how many rounds you figure that'll take?
Our first and second round of credit repair with Babushka, Credit RX has been able to delete a total of 23 out of 44 total items.  This is an impressive 50% deletion rate and a huge boost for her credit scores, which is unheard of for most credit repair companies. We still have three more rounds to go.  Bottom line:  CREDIT RX GETS RESULTS!!!
4) What special arrangements/deal would you make for Babushka's Readers?  
For every Babushka Reader that signs up with Credit RX, your FIRST DELETION IS FREE ($50 Value!!!)  Just mention "Babushka" at signup!
And now a video featuring the woman herself, Jacquelyn Calloway.


Isn't she just wonderful? And she's the real thing Beautifuls. She truly believes in the poder of good credit and has a proven track record in helping others improve theirs.  So, come join Babushka in this quest, this Year of Conscious Change. Acknowledge your power and fix that credit rating. Todos sabemos, we all know money talks and good credit is the spokesman.

Bella Books, A Lifetime Love. #ChildrensLiterature


Babushka happily received the following for The Grands; no monetary compensation was received. Como siempre, opiniones y personal comments son 100% BB.


Quote on Books- Jacqueline Kennedy


HolaHolaHola Beautifuls!
It's the last day of "the month of love" and Babushka couldn't have it end without mentioning two of her favorite loves that just go perfectly together.  Children and Books.  Quee? Ok si, in today's world you can and should encourage reading in any form, but there's something magical when that world is sans electricidad, when the only power needed is in the mind. Oh the preciousness, the power in  that.   BB believes in that powerful magic, and here shares with you some of her latest wands.

AESOP'S FABLES
Aesop's Fables Canterbury Illustrated Classics

They say "age before beauty", bueno this is a definite  twofer. A bella combinacion of classic tales and timeless illustrations, that just by the description sent, BB knew she had to ask for 2!
 Uno for each set of nietos

"The Illustrated Classics series includes works that have been enjoyed by generations of readers across the world. Each title includes dozens of full-color and ink drawings by acclaimed illustrators to make the stories even more memorable. Detailed foil stamping and a full-color illustration on the cover make these books a treasured addition to your library.

Other beloved tales available include Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland & Through the Looking Glass, The Brothers Grimm Fairy Tales, Hans Christian Andersen’s Fairy Tales, The Jungle Book, Peter Pan, The Secret Garden, The Wind in the Willows, and The Wonderful Wizard of Oz."

With cien fables, 100 stories that teach wonderful lessons and can start many an interesting conversation, BB was not disappointed at all. Should have asked for otra copia for Babushka's library.
Here is where you can go for yours:



Angels On My Pillow

In Babushka's familia, it is customary to say- Que suenes con los angelitos. May you dream with the angels.  This sweet libro takes it a step further and shows how a child wonders about their angelitos. Cutisimo.

"Many people have wondered about their guardian angels, heavenly creatures made by God to protect and watch over us. Children’s author Karen Kelly believes in them and sees angels as “the bridge that connects human beings to pure and unconditional love.” Guardian angels are a big part of her recently released illustrated picture book, “Angels on Your Pillow.”

The story is based on a loving memory of Kelly’s mother tucking her into bed and saying to her “good night, sleep tight, angels on your pillow” as a way for her to fall asleep. She and her sister would unzip a down pillow to release the feathers and pretend that it was snowing angels.  Readers enter the tale of a little girl whose mother comforts her by telling her that there “areangels on her pillow” before going to sleep. The girl’s three guardian angels appear in her bedroom though she cannot see them. The moral of the story is to show audiences the knowledge of God’s unconditional love and to be receptive to it."

Sweet story que between smiles makes uno wonder, where do our angelitos dwell?https://www.angelsonyourpillow.com/

PILLOWLAND



This historia is about the enchanting Pillowland, which is perfecto porque el libro left Babushka enchanted. BB won this book from A Nation of Moms and truly feel lucky to have it.  One naturally falls into a signsong tone, the words just naturally lend itself to it. Then again, written by "the queen of children's music" Laurie Beckner, that should come as no surprise. And the illustrations, oh the illustrations Beautifuls are actually 3D cut outs! A world of imagination, gentility, where the royalty of races runs con amor, not lost on this reader, nor lost on the little one she read to.  Dr J tambien estaba encantado.

"A creative picture book interpretation of Berkner’s “Pillowland” song that follows three small children on a fantastic bedtime adventure.... The simple yet magical text with the detailed and comforting illustrations make this a phenomenal bedtime book or even an enjoyable read-aloud choice for a more sedate storytime. The chorus of the song incorporates some excellent sound effects (“fly a magic pillow plane, zoom zoom!”), and Garoche’s mixed-media illustrations incorporate cut paper, cloth, and light in intricate and magical assemblies. The lighting is especially marvelous with a few spreads featuring a soft warm glow that seems to come from within the paper creations. VERDICT: A recommended purchase for most collections, especially those looking to expand their musical or bedtime story shelves." (School Library Journal, November 2017)

Quotes on Books-  Elizabeth Hardwick

The Littlest Acorn

The last two libros were mas bien relaxing sleepytime books, pero Babushka end a post on a relaxed nota?  JU SO FONII!!! Este librito is to impact and empower- gently por supuesto, yet it reminds BB of her own mission, to have everyone realize and love themselves AS THEY ARE.  No harm in wanting more or striving for greatness, pero al final, in the core, todos are Great and Beautiful. 

"The story tells of the littlest acorn who wants to grow big and strong, but is discouraged by the majesty and beauty of the colorful maples that surround her.  Her self-esteem withers, and she becomes depressed.  It takes a little bird building a nest in her branches to teach the young oak tree the true value of her shape, color, size and spirit.  Ultimately, The Littlest Acorn shows children the path to true contentment:  discovering their unique gifts, developing them, then sharing them with the world.  Thematically related illustrations on each page reinforce the message of the book.

The Littlest Acorn is more than a children’s book; it is a work that entertains, educates and inspires readers.  Based on author/psychologist Lisa Lentino’s philosophy, it demonstrates how to grow beyond early childhood programming and live the authentic life one is meant to live.  Her engaging book teaches early grade school children to appreciate their natural gifts, especially at critical stages of socialization. It can be used by parents, teachers, librarians and others to inspire children to search within themselves in order to determine their worth and value."


"to inspire children to search within themselves in order to dertermine their worth and value"

THAT lesson is good for ALL of us Beautifuls.

Ahora, off to find some more books to share the love.

Love of #Libros- Baila con #Books! #Usborne Feibu Fiesta!! #children #literature




HolaHolaHola Beautifuls!!

Babushka has always loved reading and the world of books; that's probably where my love of storytelling began. Quee?? JU SO FONII!!! Ok, si, being Cubana, tambien it's in my sangre, pero the look Belle of Beauty and the Beast has when she goes into his library?  Es el mismo look Babushka has when she enters a library.  The life changing mundos & maravillas one encounters in that magical place! 

Having loved reading since childhood you KNOW BB started The Trio early with the Love of Libros and naturalmente even more so with The Grands .  When DIL told me PicaPica and Rinquincaya wanted books as presents, Babushka knew the tradition lived on.  Felizmente the tradition of good cuentos, stories worth sharing and cherishing lives on too.  Gracias to DIL for introducing us to the world of Usborne Books. Quality y que Quantity!! So much so she had to become a consultant!


These were the first books Babushka bought for Grands 5 & 6.  Very impressed with the colores y quality, creo there will be more of this type to be added to our library. BB's sure she'll be learning some new words too!  Pero the selection isn't just here, or just for this age group.  Usborne tiene from babies to teens, in all types of categories and always ready to entertain.  Speaking of entertaining, how about these last days of summer when all has been done and it's just too hot to go outside?


Y que me dicen of those long road trips with the never ending "Are we there yet?"



Hope You Can Join us Tuesday for a Feibu Fiesta where we'll be Bailando con Books.


if you can't make it to the fiesta, or want to see the selection of libros Usborne carries,



Boys Usborne Books

The joy of reading, the legacy of libros. Share the Love.

Mother's Day,Yin, and The Essence of Conferences #WeAllGrow

This post was originally posted in Conexion as part of their May, Mother's Day edition. BB has added fotos y detalles here because the We All Grow Summit 2017 was so much more than a 350 word limit can hold. #CRsponsored

Hola,Hola,Hola Beautifuls!

May, que Maravilla! The month of flowers and the ultimate female power- motherhood.  If you recall in last month’s article, Babushka promised to share info on conferences attended, and she’ll do just that now. Quee?? These not be related? JU SO FONII!! But of course they are. Abren la mente for a little twofer BB calls the Essence of Conferences. May es de la Mujer.

In Chinese cosmology, the Yin is the feminine force, and combined with the masculine Yang make up all things. The Yang force places value on self, while the Yin force, on a deep level, is what places values on others before self.  Isn’t this the perfect definition of what motherhood is about? In this category BB also places the We All Grow Summit , which just by the title shows its emphasis.

#weallgrow signs


A Latina influencer/blogger focused conference (though of course all are welcomed) held in California in March, this was the #WeAllGrow Summit 2017: Energy of Sisterhood; the third conference of this type and one Babushka had been longing to attend.

Consumer Reports, Somos CR, #Weallgrow #CRsponsored
Order of 2nd picture:

 Gracias to the generosity of Consumer Reports who hosted BB’s attendance, not only did I attend, but look forward to the next one! The feeling of amor, ease, y si, Sisterhood, was viable y todas vulnerable with the valor of asking true preguntas y sharing of proprietary points. Con decirte, que for the first time EVER Babushka literally let down her hair. Tal era the Yin in this evento. From the opening party, the signs/reminders of our worth and those of the Herman(a)dad, to being Warrior Princesses for ourselves and our loved ones; it was a touching and empowering three days that will forever be cherished.  Como dije en el ultimo article, we must invest in ourselves, and the #WeAllGrow summit on all levels was a lifelong memoria that will always bring BB felicidad and fuerza.

Hopefully this will spark your own sueño de superar, porque al final, this is what we all should hope for ourselves and others.  Find your tribe, your truth, sean tierno con ustedes mismo. A little self mothering is a good thing.  Have a Happy Mother’s Day Beautifuls and remember to give thanks to all who’ve made you feel loved along the way.
